Domestic windows are made from many materials and come in a wide range of colours and finishes. One of the older types is the sash window (also known as box sash windows), although its exact origin is unknown and its invention is still a subject of debate.

= History =

A form of sash window is mentioned in England as early as the 16th century, and another variation may have appeared in France in the 1600s. Surviving examples in Britain date from around 1670, and a noteworthy example (perhaps the earliest surviving version of the vertical sash window) was found at the country palace of Charles II at Newmarket in Suffolk.

Sash windows are typically found in Georgian and Victorian buildings but are still widely used in new buildings.

= Sash window characteristics =

There are two types of sash windows: horizontal and vertical. The horizontal version is also referred to as the Yorkshire sash or Yorkshire light. It is a simple window that slides from side to side and does not require weights.

The vertical version consists of one or two sashes that slide vertically up and down in the frame. Vertical sash windows incorporate a system of counterweights within the frame to keep them open. The sash is the glazed part which slides vertically to allow ventilation and cleaning and holds the glass in place.

In the United States, sash windows are referred to as hung sash window, referring to double-hung window sometimes found in warmer parts of the country. Because they open both at the top and bottom, they can provide increased air circulation.
