What Is Sash Window Restoration?
Sash window restoration is not such a commonplace art any more. With everyone scaling up, making room for more, and replacing the old with the new even before considering its value, the sash window has suddenly become an iconic piece of art work.
The sash window has been seen by most of us at one time or another. We often recognize it by sight rather by name. It is a window created generally of six small panes that are stacked in two rows of three. These squares of glass are held tightly together by small, thin pieces of wood that we call muntin. These muntin are part of the window’s structure and often require small restorative efforts as well.
Sash window restoration can involve replacing a single pane of glass or it might quantify something more complex. A single pane of glass can often be replaced provided that it is cut to size and can be measured directly into the muntin bar supports.
Despite this arrangement the sash window is not drafty the way one would think. A good restoration should also remain tight from the wind. There are some customary replacements rather than restorations that have become commonplace. The restoration of a sash window that requires more than have of its panes replaced is often eliminated and replaced with a casement window.
These are not drafty windows nor are they particularly poor at insulating, even when they are in their original condition. You can always tell a high quality sash window restoration by the look and feel of the seal. If there is no seal, air comes in through the window.
Sash window restoration has become an art form as there are fewer skilled crafts people that can truly handle the job. Fortunately, the sash window is still iconic enough that more people are looking toward restoration over replacement.
