Although there is no standard time frame, many timber sash windows have lasted a hundred years with regular maintenance. For the best quality window with a lifespan of around 25-30 years, you should look out for simple features such as a weather proof lip on the edge or high quality seals, as well as an old fashioned cross bar for ventilation.
