Traditional problems with solid wooden sash windows include rotting frames, swelling or distortion of the woodwork due to poor maintenance and high moisture contemt or rattling in the wind due to shrinkage of the wood. These problems can be solved by careful repair and the introduction of draught stripping.

Inexperienced painters and decorators can also cause problems by painting the sash cords and strips  causing the windows to jam. The sliding mechanism makes sash windows more vulnerable to these sort of problems than traditional casement windows.

Sash windows are higher maintenance than modern UPVC double glazed units, but they offer advantages in return, namely style, aesthetics, and are required by law to meet the requirements for listed buildings.

Well maintained sash windows should last for generations without needing parts replaced. It is also possible to clean all the glass from within the building by sliding the two panes to different positions.
