Sash and Case Windows

Sash Balance 50-63

The Sash Balance 50-63 profile is a premium option for sash and case windows, designed to offer modern functionality while preserving the classic look of traditional windows. Here are the key details for double-glazed sash and case windows using this profile:

Energy Efficiency: Double-glazed units fitted into this profile offer excellent thermal insulation, helping homeowners reduce heating costs while maintaining a consistent temperature indoors. The extra depth of the profile further boosts the insulating properties, making it ideal for colder climates.
Durability: The 50-63 profile is designed to handle the weight of larger double-glazed panes while maintaining the window’s structural integrity over time. This ensures long-lasting performance without the risk of warping or wear.
Aesthetic Appeal: While the profile accommodates modern glazing technology, it preserves the slim sightlines and intricate details typical of traditional sash and case windows. This makes it a suitable choice for both modern properties and historical restorations where appearance is paramount.
Custom Options: Available in a variety of timber finishes and colors, the profile can be customized to match the aesthetic of different architectural styles. Whether you are restoring an older building or adding a classic touch to a new home, the Sash Balance 50-63 offers flexibility.
Noise Reduction: The profile’s depth, combined with double glazing, also contributes to a significant reduction in outside noise, making it a popular choice for properties located in busy or urban areas.
