Finding cheap, eco-friendly ways to cool your home in this summer heat isn't easy. While many of us are fortunate enough to have air conditioning, others are forced to sleep in stiflingly warm rooms where cracking a window just doesn't cut it. That is, unless you have sash windows and know about this clever little trick.
There's a lot to love about sash windows. Besides their typically large size and symmetrical frames that allow plenty of light in and make an elegant feature of period properties, they're super secure and give you almost full control over how much you open them. It's really not surprising that they're gaining popularity again as a modern window treatment. What you might not know, however, is that they're also a really great way to ventilate your home.
