Sash Window through the ages

Image
To verify the top quality of wooden sash windows simply look at exactly how they have stood the test of time-- from first appearing in residences in the 1600s, sash windows stay a quality choice today. Enhancing the outside of period properties across the UK, wood sash windows are a much-loved attribute in heritage residences.
