What Is a uPVC Window Sash?

What Is a uPVC Window Sash? — here's a clear, practical explanation.

What a sash is

The sash is the moving part of the window that holds the glass — the frame-within-the-frame that slides or hinges open. The outer frame stays fixed; the sash moves.

What to know

Look for this

  • The moving, glass-holding part
  • Slides or hinges within the outer frame
  • Carries the glass and hardware
  • Sealed against the frame by gaskets
  • Reinforced where large

Why it matters for your windows

Understanding the sash helps when discussing your windows — it's the part that moves and seals, and its weight determines the hardware and reinforcement needed.
