FAQs

What's the difference between double and single glazing, and which is best for my home?

Double glazing consists of two panes of glass with a sealed gap between them, typically filled with inert gas. This provides superior thermal insulation, noise reduction, and energy efficiency compared to single glazing, which uses just one pane. For period properties, we often recommend slim double glazing to maintain authenticity whilst improving performance. The best choice depends on your property's age, listed status, and specific requirements.

How do I know if my sash windows need restoration or complete replacement?

At The Sussex Sash Window Company, we assess several factors: the extent of timber decay, operational functionality, historical value, and cost-effectiveness. Windows with localised rot, stuck sashes, or broken cords are typically excellent candidates for restoration. However, if there's extensive decay affecting over 30% of the frame or severe structural issues, replacement might be more appropriate. We provide detailed surveys to determine the most suitable approach.

What security upgrades do you recommend for sash windows?

We offer several security enhancements: sash stops and locks, reinforced glass options, child safety restrictors, and robust locking systems. For period properties, we can install discrete secondary security measures that don't compromise the window's authentic appearance. All our security upgrades meet current British Standards and insurance requirements.

How effective is draught-proofing, and what's involved in the process?

Our draught-proofing system can reduce air infiltration by up to 86%. We install high-performance brush seals and weatherstrips into precisely routed channels in your window frames. This not only eliminates draughts but also reduces noise pollution and dust infiltration. The process typically takes 1-2 days per window and is virtually invisible once completed.

What's your warranty policy on new sash windows and repairs?

New sash windows come with a 10-year warranty covering materials and workmanship. Repairs and restoration work carry a 5-year warranty. Double-glazed units are guaranteed for 10 years against seal failure. All warranties are insurance-backed and transferable to new property owners.
