   Beatrice,

   I believe the term defines the "entire" structure so therefore should include the "glass".

   *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/

   *Beatrice,

   It appears that in the most strict sense it does not include the glass.

   It's a definitional one -- on a standard window, does the "sash" include the glass? Thanks for helping resolve this for a manhattan coop board.
