*Oh Nooooo. When your co-op board starts getting hung up on the whether or not the word "sash" includes the glass...well...you've got a co-op board.
*Originaly the french root meant frame - the frame that held the glass. But practically speaking, in todays use it includes the glass. I ordered a sash today to replace one that was defective for a structure I built. I expect it to have glass in it.
*If your board is being technical the Means dictionary defines it as:sash (window sash) The framework of a window that holds the glass. In real world use it, when we order it, usually means the whole unit.For your next coop opt "discussion" and there will be one. :)http://www.rsmeans.com/dictionary/
