The New Look Sliding Sash Window by Marvin Architectural
Ever noticed how the sliding sash window dropped out of favour with UK architects, builders and so on? Possibly, you never did: because they have been out of favour for something like 50 years, ever since people realised that building houses with equipment that rotted shut on you was not a particularly good idea. Unfortunately for the aesthetic sensibilities of the country, however, the replacements (those plastic things you see stuck in the front of every house in every street in the land) werenât any great lookers â and so the United Kingdom has been without a really attractive window for some time. Well, the day that the fans of the looks (if not the action) of the old school sash were waiting for, has arrived. The new sliding sash window is here, and itâs better in every way â better than old sash windows, and better than all the plastic alternatives that have stopped that near half century gap.
The new sash window looks very similar to its ancestor. It is made of wood, or wood effect aluminium, and it sits proudly in its frame with great wide panes of glass. Itâs bisected horizontally, with the lower half (the sash) sliding up into the upper half to let in air from outside. This is where the first difference manifests itself. The new look sliding sash window does not suddenly drop back down with a bang that puts years on your old mother. The new sash window does not wait until you are leaning on its sill, breathing in the summer air and generally enjoying the view, before hurtling down onto your exposed fingers with the fury of a guillotine. No â the new sash window doesnât drop unexpectedly at all. It stays put and waits for you to tell it when you want it to rise, and when you want it to fall.
Thatâs because Marvin Architectural, the firm behind this modern architectural wonder, has completely changed the way the mechanism of the sliding sash window works. It has all sorts of modern bits hidden inside it: balanced springs, nylon thread that never rots out and clasps that actually clasp. Wheels that turn when asked and not otherwise. Runners that stay smooth and unwarped, delivering the sliding half of the sash window up and down into cradle and frame without so much as a whisper.
Itâs about time someone came along and did something about the fenestration of the British street. Thanks to the rather smart brainwave of taking something we already knew looked good, and making it work properly, the architectural firm in question has single handedly revived the classic good looks of UK housing. Builderâs firms are likely to buy again, now the sliding sash window is proven to work as well as it looks â and that means, before long, that all those beautiful bay windows and neat house fronts we all used to love will be back in action again, and working nicely. Three cheers for the all new sash window.
