Generally speaking, sash windows are made up of two frames, one over the other. They are held together by a frame, also known as the box. It is inserted into the aperture of the building where the window will be set and the two outer panes are equipped with glazing bars.

Sash windows were initially horizontally opening, but later they were made to open vertically. Robert Hooke, a British architect and philosopher is believed to be the one who invented the idea. He was a collaborator with Christopher Wren, helping rebuild the city following the Great Fire of 1666 and was responsible for a number of notable buildings, including Montagu House in Buckinghamshire and Ragley Hall in Warwickshire.
There are some things that make sash windows distinctive in that they can be opened in a similar way to a standard window. This is due to the fact that sash windows have separate pulleys and weights to balance their weight. This allows them to be easily moved using a cord hidden inside the frame.

Screens for Entry
The brand new Elizabeth Line, (formerly the Crossrail Project) has platform screen doors on each of the sixteen sub-surface platforms. These screens display digital advertisements and information for passengers.
The initial entrance screen of the City of London Cemetery consisted of a traditional structure of Kentish Ragstone wall and Caen stone copings with decorative carved elements. The stone was originally encased in Portland cement but this proved less than ideal as the acid rain of the 19th Century caused carbonates to decompose and sulphate-crystallisation accelerated the decay of limestones such as Caen.
Nanolime was employed to slow down the complex combination of decay mechanisms which were eroding the central part of the panel. This has slowed the need for costly replacement of the stone and also provided a soothing alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
