What Is An ‘Unequal Split’ Sash Window?
Sash windows come in all shapes and sizes. Although many sash windows have two identical sashes, there are also lots of buildings where an unequal split sash window is required. Larger houses, particularly in the Georgian and Victorian eras often had tall rectangular windows on the ground floor. These windows often featured sashes with a 2/5th and 3/5th split. When the transom is split in this way, it helps to keep equal sized glass panes when an unequal transom drop is used.
Period properties usually have a more standard sizing for the first, second, and upper floor windows. Nevertheless, they too, often featured an unequal split. Upstairs windows usually feature a 1/3rd, 2/3rd split. Again, this unequal transom split helps to maintain the symmetrical aesthetic by supporting equal sized glass panes.
With unequal split sash windows, the perspective of the building is more balanced. When you have tall sash windows on the ground floor and shorter ones above, using an unequal split on the ground floor can make things look more in proportion.
