Sash windows
Sash windows, otherwise known as guillotine windows, are an extremely popular solution in the UK and Irish markets, as well as in some other Anglo-Saxon countries such as Canada. Although the name of these windows may sound strange, most people probably associate them with American films. Windows of this type are distinguished primarily by their method of opening, which allows both the upper and lower sashes to slide independently. Such characteristic windows are impossible to miss.
The opening mechanism of sash windows is based on rails, with which the lower part of the window is moved. Depending on the model, it is possible to open one or both sashes. An interesting option is also the so-called incomplete opening, possible in the case of windows with asymmetrical sash surfaces.
Sash windows are fitted with weight ballasts or springs mounted in the window frame. This unique method of opening has many advantages, which is why sash windows are becoming increasingly popular. In Polish conditions, sash windows are mainly used in traditional and historic buildings. Customers who opt for sash windows also like to choose non-standard windows.
What are the advantages of sash windows?
The advantage of sash windows is that they increase the space in the room, which creates design possibilities that are not available if you choose windows that open in a traditional way. By lifting the sashes upwards, there is no need to move objects located on the window sill. This solution is ideal for kitchens, where free space at the windows is often used. In addition, by opening only the top window, it can be used as a ventilator.

Casement windows
Casement windows are outward opening windows – equally popular on the British and Irish markets, as well as in some other Anglo-Saxon countries, for example Canada. Windows of this type are distinguished primarily by their opening method, which, while maintaining tightness, involves opening or pushing the sashes outwards. This is an excellent solution for small rooms.
