if they are 2 big panes, as stu said, just as normal.
if they are georgian's (little squares), then dab the end of your applicator into 3 or 4 at a time, then with your damp scrim/microfibre, buff the glass, and get into the corners. when dry.polish with dry/clean scrim/micro.

time consuming so i hope you've priced well

forgot to mention the water and soap from top window can drip into the gap and drip into the inside of bottom window if your doing insides which is a pain if you did the outsides first

reply..ive got lots of sash in 1 of the old terraced streets i do but these are not geogian

most sash are divided into 3 sections, usually 2 thin sections on the outside and a wider section in the middle

sash are a pain to clean but georgians are much worse!!!

barratt, are you saying they are both sash and georgian, so they are sash windows with lots of squares??

just remembered....ive got sash windows...had them fitted 3 years ago

leather and scrim job because there are so many sections... or just scrim if appropiate!!

squeegee and pad is too much messing around because of all the sections.

obviously wfp will be quicker if you have 1.

mind you, i dont clean mine, we have a reliable windy who has been doing them for ages and its not fair to send him packing
