sash window
Vertical sliding frame
A sash window is a window with one or more panels that slide vertically in grooves, typically counterbalanced by weights on cords.
The design allows the window to stay open at any height without a prop.
Common in older British and American architecture: The original sash windows rattled in the wind.
