Houses come in all shapes and sizes. This is particularly the case with older period properties. You might be surprised to hear that there was actually a standard sash window size. During the Victorian and Edwardian periods, the standard sash window width was approximately 4 feet (1.2m). For Georgian and older properties, sizes were more variable. Considering that the vast majority of properties with sash windows in the UK were built during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, these sash window dimensions are an excellent starting point.
In the 21st century, sash window manufacturing has come a long way. Our uPVC double glazed sash windows, including the Charisma Rose, Heritage Rose and Ultimate Rose, can be designed and manufactured in a range of sizes and configurations. Whether you require small, unusually shaped, or over-sized windows, speak to us here at the Rose Collection, we will endeavour to meet your requirements.

Yes, you certainly can have timber double glazed sash windows. Modern sashes are able to accommodate thicker double glazing, making windows thermally efficient and offering greater soundproofing. Double glazing is the perfect way to bring beautiful, traditional sash windows up to date, without losing their charm.
Double glazed windows are closed units made using two pieces of glass which are separated by an air gap of at least 12mm. The gap is sealed, and acts as a break between the inside and outside pieces of glass. The air gap is filled with gas which increases the insulation between the glass pieces.
A typical rough opening for a window is 3/4 to 1 inch larger in width and height than the window, but it can vary depending on the window manufacturer. I always make my rough opening for windows 3/4″ on height and width.
You can generally expect to pay $250 to $700 for a standard double-pane window, which is 24 inches wide by 48 inches tall. Window style: Decorative or intricately etched windows are more expensive than standard options.
A double glazed unit means that there are two glass panes in the window, rather than one. Typically, double glazed units comprise a 4mm pane of glass, a 12mm or 16mm gap and then another 4mm pane. These units are all assembled and then inserted into the window by hand.
SASH OPENING: The Width and Height of the window FRAME opening that the sash fit into. For Double-Hung windows, the sash opening width is measured between the pulley stiles.
If you've experienced draughts from your sash windows, rattling sounds, or condensation build-up, you need replacement sash windows double glazed. Don't suffer through another cold winter with single glazing, it's not worth the stress and it's definitely not worth the high energy bill price!
Broadly speaking, double glazing doesn't come in a wide range of 'types' – all installations work in fundamentally the same way – but the materials used for the frame, and the types of glass employed, do vary.
Double-glazed sash windows are typically more expensive due to their intricate design and the additional materials required for sash bars. The process of doubleglazing sash windows is also more complex and time-consuming compared to single pane windows, as they consist of multiple panes per sash.
Installing double glazing yourself is technically possible, but there's a catch. According to building regulations, even if you have above-average DIY skills, your handiwork won't be recognised as being performed by a 'competent person' (yes, we know – how dare they).
It can help improve a homeowner's energy efficiency and home value. Whilst the installation time can vary depending on several factors, it typically takes between one to three days. This time frame includes the removal of old windows, installation of new frames, and the fitting of double-glazed glass panes.
The optimal gap to derive benefit from double glazing is between 14-16mm between the two panes of glass. Anything less than this increases the incidence of heat transfer, and anything greater can create convection within the units.
