Cleaning sash windows is straightforward with the right approach. Here’s a simple guide:
- Open the window: Slide the sash up or down to access both sides of the glass.
- Remove any dust: Use a soft cloth or brush to remove dust and dirt from the frame and sills.
- Clean the glass: Use a glass cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar, applying it with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals to protect the finish.
- Wipe the frame: Use a damp cloth to clean the wooden frame, ensuring you dry it thoroughly to prevent moisture damage.
- Check the mechanisms: Clean the pulleys and cords gently, and lubricate them if needed to ensure smooth operation.

Casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward, like a door. They’re operated with a handle that allows the window to swing open, providing excellent ventilation and unobstructed views.
Casement windows are known for their energy efficiency, as the sash seals tightly when closed, helping to prevent drafts.
French doors are a pair of hinged doors that open outward or inward, offering a wide, unobstructed opening. They typically feature large panes of glass, allowing plenty of natural light to enter and providing a clear view.
French doors are often used to connect indoor and outdoor spaces, adding a touch of elegance and enhancing the flow between rooms or to a garden or patio.
