Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sash lift?
A sash lift is a small pull or handle that attaches to the lower sash of a sash window. It provides a grip point to help you easily lift the window open and pull it closed.
What type of window is a sash lift used for?
Sash lifts are made for sash windows, also known as double hung windows. These are windows with two movable panels (sashes) that slide vertically within the frame.
How many sash lifts do I need per window?
Most sash windows use two sash lifts — one on each side of the lower sash for balanced operation. However, small windows may only require one. If you're replacing an existing sash lift, using a single new one in the same position can help cover the original screw holes.
What finishes are your sash lifts available in?
We offer sash lifts in a wide range of finishes, including Brass, Antique Brass, Satin Brass, Chrome, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Black, Bronze, Pewter, Antique Copper, Stainless Steel, and Unlacquered Brass. This allows you to match your sash lifts with your existing hardware for a cohesive look.
Do your sash lifts include screws?
Yes, all of our sash lifts come with matching screws, ready for installation on timber sash windows.
What era of Australian homes traditionally used sash lifts?
Sash lifts were commonly used in Victorian homes (1837–1901), and remained popular through the Federation and Edwardian periods (circa 1890–1915). Today, they are still used in restoration projects and new builds with traditional-style timber windows.
Do I need anything else for my sash window?
Yes. You’ll usually need a sash window fastener to lock your window shut. You may also want to consider sash pulleys, sash drops, or other accessories depending on your window’s condition. Explore our full range of sash window fasteners and sash window accessories to complete your restoration.
What type of sash lift should I choose?
If your window has an existing sash lift, we recommend choosing a similar design and size to keep in line with the traditional look of your home. At Restoration Online, we specialise in helping you restore your home to reflect its original character. Choosing a sash lift that is the same size or slightly larger than your original one can help cover any marks left behind.
