Why Sash Windows Suit Homes in the Dulwich Area
This part of South London is known for its period architecture and well-proportioned homes. Sash windows are particularly well suited to these properties because they:
- Complement traditional elevations and original features
- Allow controlled ventilation through the vertical sliding design
- Maintain symmetry on period façades
- Align well with conservation and planning expectations
Sash windows remain a practical and appropriate choice for many homes throughout the Dulwich area.
