If you've ever spoken with a joiner or sash window expert, you might have heard terms that sound familiar but aren’t fully clear. Here’s a quick reference guide so you can follow the conversation with confidence and make informed decisions.
Understanding these components helps when discussing repairs, upgrades, or full replacements—especially when you’re commissioning bespoke sash windows or considering timber options such as Accoya.
