Sliding sash windows, also known simply as sash windows, are a type of window that consists of one or more movable panels, or "sashes," that slide vertically within the window frame. These windows are commonly found in traditional and period properties, particularly in the UK, and they offer a classic, elegant look while providing practical functionality.
