History of Sash Windows

Sash windows, dating back to the 1670s, are among the oldest window designs, found in places like Palace House and Ham House in England. Although often credited to Robert Hooke, there's no conclusive proof of this, and some theories propose it was a Dutch invention. Historian H.J. Louw argued it developed in England. These windows are a classic element of traditional architecture, combining elegance and practicality.

Concealed Balance Windows

Concealed balance windows offer a contemporary alternative while maintaining historically accurate configurations. These windows are generally more cost-effective than traditional weight and chain systems and don’t require the additional space for weight boxes. In some cases, they can be installed within the master frame, which can lower costs by eliminating the need for full tear-out frame removal.

Weight-and-chain windows

Offers an unmatched smoothness and ease of operation. For larger windows, we recommend using this system, as it best replicates the traditional look and feel of historical windows. Although installation can be challenging, Right Path’s expertise ensures a seamless process, making us a valuable resource for achieving both authenticity and functionality in your project.

casement windows

Casement windows originated in the 18th century as replacements for stone mullioned windows. Early versions had iron frames by blacksmiths and small glass panes joined with lead strips. As glass production advanced, timber—mainly oak—replaced iron, allowing for larger panes and intricate designs. During the Victorian era, casement windows became more ornate, often featuring Gothic elements like arched tops and multi-pane arrangements. The term "casement" refers to the outward-opening hinged section, one of the earliest movable window types.

Fire Rated Windows

The History of Fire-Rated Windows in New York

New York’s skyline tells a story of innovation, resilience, and safety, and fire-rated windows have played a vital role in that evolution. The need for fire-rated windows became apparent during the city’s industrial boom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when devastating fires in factories and densely populated buildings highlighted the importance of fire-resistant construction.

In response, building codes evolved to mandate fire-rated materials, including windows, to protect occupants and neighboring structures. Early fire-rated windows were made of wired glass and heavy steel frames, offering robust protection but limited aesthetic appeal. Over the decades, advances in technology have transformed fire-rated windows into sleek, modern solutions that meet stringent safety standards while complementing architectural design.

Today, fire-rated windows are a critical part of New York’s legacy of fire safety, ensuring the city’s homes and businesses remain protected without sacrificing beauty or innovation.
