Sash Window Repair

Sash windows can go out of balance and even break. Pam searches the web for salvaged wavy glasses, and keep an eye out for discarded metal sashweights. She then hunts for replacements in the form of washers or nuts to help balance her window.

Sticking Sashes

It's a nightmare when your double-hung windows become stuck. They'll be difficult to see when they squeak during a storm. On the other side, a window that's too loose can let outside air and noise through, and your energy bills can increase. Both scenarios are not ideal, but both can be addressed with the proper tools and determination.

Paint can accumulate on the channels of old weighted window tracks, which can cause them to block. Most of these problems can be resolved by cleaning and oiling the tracks.

Start by removing the caulking between the window stop (the one inside) and the upvc window repair near me frame. Scrape away any accumulated paint. Make sure to employ a sharp blade and then set up sheets of plastic and a vacuum cleaner right below to contain any paint dust and chips.

Then, clean the tracks using a dry cloth, and apply a silicone lubricant for more smooth sliding. This lubricant is sold at many home improvement stores or on the internet. You can test it by moving the sash either upwards or downwards.
