A sash lift is a small but essential piece of hardware for traditional sash windows, designed to be gripped when raising or lowering the bottom sash. Supplied in polished brass or polished chrome, these lifts are fitted in pairs to allow smooth, balanced operation of timber sash windows.
Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Metal |
| Finish | Polished Brass / Polished Chrome |
| Fixing Points | Two anchor points per lift |
| Typical Fitting | Sold individually, fitted in pairs |
What it's used for
- Raising and lowering the bottom sash on traditional timber sash windows in period and heritage properties
- Replacement of worn or missing sash lifts during window restoration projects
- New installations on purpose-built or reproduction timber sash window frames
- Matching period-appropriate hardware in conservation areas where finish consistency is required
Fitting and handling
Sash lifts are best fitted in pairs, one to each side of the bottom sash rail, to allow even lifting and reduce the risk of the sash racking in its frame. Each lift has two fixing points, so use the correct screw gauge for the timber thickness to ensure a firm, lasting hold. Wipe the finished surface clean after fitting and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull the polished finish over time.
FAQ
Do I need to buy two sash lifts for one window?
Yes. Sash lifts are sold individually but are designed to be fitted in pairs, one on each side of the bottom sash rail. Fitting two lifts allows you to lift the sash evenly with both hands, which puts less strain on the frame and reduces wear over time.
What is the difference between polished brass and polished chrome sash lifts?
Both finishes are priced the same and share the same fixing arrangement. Polished brass gives a warmer, more traditional look that suits older or Victorian-era properties, while polished chrome offers a cooler, brighter finish often used in more contemporary sash window restorations or where other chrome hardware is already fitted.
Are these sash lifts suitable for a conservation area property?
Sash lifts in polished brass or polished chrome are widely accepted on conservation area properties, as they match the style of original period hardware. If your property is listed, it is always worth checking with your local planning authority before carrying out window hardware changes, but these traditional-style lifts are generally appropriate.
