These improvements have been implemented to meet evolving needs and legal requirements, although they may not be immediately apparent. Interestingly, despite these concealed enhancements, the timeless appearance of the traditional sash window remains unchanged. This ingenious design allows for overall improvements to be made without altering its essential character in the slightest.
