• Traditional box, sliding sash window with cords and weights

Such types of sliding box sash window are fitted to the outer skin of the brick or stonework that completely covers the outer edge of the stonework or brickwork in a way that makes the frame actually appear much smaller compared to what it seems from outside. In the case of the box sash window Cheshire, the frame is fitted with the inner part of the construction rather than from the outer extension followed by the trimming back of the inner extension of the frame to the internal walls. This trimming is done with the application of some traditionally molded architraves.

• Spiral balance sliding sash window

These types of sliding sash are well fitted in areas where the windows accurately fit in between the outer brickwork. The spiral balance mechanism used in its construction gives it a much slimmer structure measuring just a few pounds compared to those traditional boxes sliding sash windows with cords and weights.
