Georgian sash windows in victorian properties
The most common style of sash windows in Georgian and Victorian architecture has two sashes of two pains up by three pains across creating a “six over six” look but there are many other styles out there. In the United States the term “double hung sash” is used quite a bit referring to the style that has two separate panels, both of which slide up and down by the use of strings or balances. The single hung sash refers to having a top immobile pane while the bottom one slides up and down with ease. And in some cases, particularly in New England churches, there are examples of triple or quadruple sashes, which are used in particularly tall openings.
