A sash window is a type of window that is made up of movable panels, or sashes, which hold panes of glass separated by muntins. Muntins are the strips of metal or wood that separate glass panes in a window, and a sash window may have muntins separating any number of glass panels depending on the size of the window. These sashes may be moved either vertically or horizontally to open the window, and due to their construction individual panes of glass may need to be replaced at different times to keep the windows functional and secure.

As sash windows age, the glass inside each set of muntins may begin to weaken or deteriorate, and this will occur with any type of window. Also, the muntins themselves may lose their functionality and aesthetic causing the need for replacement or repair. While sash windows are a completely secure and functional window choice, they will require some renovation during their lifetime to ensure a glazing emergency is avoided.
