What are Sash Window Weights?

About Our Sash Window Weights
A sash window consists of one or more moveable panels, known as “sashes”, which form a frame that holds panes of glass. These windows are opened by sliding the glazed panels horizontally or vertically and are often seen in traditional Georgian and Victorian houses, although they are becoming popular in modern homebuilding.
