Then, remove the sash and mark its height and width so that you can locate replacement weather stripping to match. Next, remove the sash and place it on a table so that you can reach all four sides. If your sash is double glazing repair Stratford-hung, you'll need to remove the weights and their ropes which should have slipped into the pocket that was intended to be in the jamb liner. Once you've removed the sash using a utility knife, you can use it to remove the weather stripping that was formerly in place at the corners, Replacement and then remove it manually or using a putty blade. After the sash is cleared, you can install parting stops. These are long pieces wood that divide the two sashes. Pam prefers to replace them with standard 1/2-inch-by - 3/4-inch window trim from the lumberyard. However, you can also use scrap wood. After removing the stoppers for parting and cutting them to the desired length, apply a thin layer of glazing compound to the bottom of the sash. Smooth the compound using your putty tool, and allow it to dry for at least a day. When it's completely dried, apply a top coat of acrylic latex paint. This will protect the putty, and give your sash an updated appearance. Sash Hardware The hardware that holds the windows sashes can become worn out over time and with use. This could lead to a door or a window that is difficult to open or close. The good news is that fixing and replacing this hardware is typically very simple and cost-effective. If you're having difficulty opening a sash, spray some grease into the jamb channel. Then, slide the sash up and open to see if it resolves the issue. If not, the problem is likely with the sash balance, and you'll need to remove the sash to gain access to this hardware. The ideal situation is for window sashes to move open and shut with very little effort, but this is difficult when the weights wear out or if the sash meeting rail isn't properly glazed. This can be due to a variety of factors that include an absence of maintenance or a mismatched weight rating. If the hinge arms of a window are beginning to lose their elasticity, this could cause the sash to drag and eventually hit the frame in the corner directly opposite the hinge arm (Photo 1). To correct the issue ensure that the sash is in the proper position within the frame opening, and then remove it. If the sash has been fixed to the hinge arm, remove the hinge and replace it. (Photo 2). Install the new sash (Photo 3). Due to sagging hinges, and a general lack of energy efficiency, windows that are old especially in older homes, may be difficult to open or close. In many instances, a few easy repairs can transform these windows into smooth operation again and save the homeowner cash on energy costs. It is essential to have the tools you need before you begin. Mark the location of the hinge channel on the frame (Photo 1) using pencil. This will help you to place the channel in the proper place when you are finished. Remove the sash and then remove all hardware including the parting beads, cords, and chains that keep the sash in place.

Sash Weights Whether your window sash repairs are to replace a damaged cord or simply to keep your windows functioning by replacing worn out weights on sash can improve sash operation and help reduce the energy cost. Sash weights are heavy lead or iron cylinders enclosed in a hidden cavity and connected to the movable the sash with rope. These weights function as counterbalances, which allows you to open and close the window without the need for mechanical or electrical devices. The sash-weights are typically disregarded or disabled by homeowners, and are turned into scrap when they break; therefore, you may need to find replacements. A sash weight that has fallen out of the cavity is difficult to recover It is therefore important to find a replacement that fits correctly. You will also require a new piece string, a length sashcord and a few sashpulleys for tying the new weights to the cord. Mortise and Tenon joints are used to join windows made of older wood. Hammers and pins can be used to remove the wood pegs that hold the components together. The majority of them have a large diameter on one side and a smaller diameter on the other side, so it is essential to remove the smaller-diameter ones first. Sashes that were made later in the century made use of glue instead of pegs and can be separated by cutting the glue line using an instrument, and then tapping the mortised section loose using a mallet. Once the sash has been released, you can remove stops on the sash and get access to the weight pockets. Usually this is accomplished by drilling a hole near the bottom of each jamb. This hole is then covered by a wooden access panel which can be removed to allow you to view the inside of the frame. Once the sash is stopped and the access panel is removed, you can remove the weight you used and replace it. First, weigh the sash to ensure that the weights you've got may not be the right size. After the new weight is installed, thread the string through the sash pulling mechanism. Then, you can nail the string to the boxed frame, leaving a few inches of string sticking out from the head to allow for future adjustments. Sash Cords Most double glazing repair Basingstoke-hung windows of the past have a cord or chain attached to the weights that supports and keeps the sashes level within the jamb. Over time these cords can break, making it difficult to raise the window. A new sash cord will give you the ability to move the sash upwards and downwards and hold it in position when it is opened. To replace sash cords, the first step is to remove the access panels from the jambs. These are usually fixed or screwed in and must be removed or repositioned. You could use a hammer and chisel for removing them, but it's always better to lay down dust sheets before beginning any work. Once the access panel is removed, you can begin working on the sash. Utilize a flat bar or chisel, to pry the narrow partsing beads out of their grooves. It is important to take your time, as these are often placed in a wedge or nail. If the sash is still in place, pry out the mortise and tenon joints with a hammer and pin punch or screwdriver, then remove the wood pegs that are on the components. The sash should be able to move freely now, but it may require some lubrication to feel less stiff. Measure the length of sash cord/chain required to reach the sash slot at the bottom, and the pulley at the top of the jamb. Cut the chain or cord and attach it in Step 6 above. You can either employ a hammer, nail or screws, but nails are less likely to cause damage. If you don't have an upgrade kit to replace the old counterbalance system it is recommended to keep the original weights for balancing in place. They are not expensive and are easy to install if you buy them from salvage shops for architectural use. Depending on the size and shape of your window, you might need to install one or two sashweights in order to keep the sash open.
