Sash Window Repair Sash windows can get out of balance and even break. Pam searches the web for salvaged wavy glasses, and keeps an eye out for discarded sashweights made of metal. She then seeks replacements in the form of nuts or washers to help balance her window. Pam beds each pane with a rope of glazing compound that she works into the rabbet groove, also known as a pocket, which is located around the opening. This prevents drafts and costly heat loss. Sticking Sashes If your double-hung windows get stuck, it's a nightmare. They'll be difficult to see if they rattle during a thunderstorm. On the other hand, a window that's too loose can let outside air and noise through and your energy costs may increase. Both scenarios are not ideal, but they can be rectified by using the right tools and persistence. A common problem with old windows with weighted sash is that paint can build up in the channels that they slide on, making them jam. The majority of these issues can be solved by cleaning and oiling the tracks. Take the caulking off of the space between the window stop (the one on the inside) and the frame of the window. Then scrape away any paint that's built up. Make use of a sharp knife and place sheets of plastic as well as an air-collecting vacuum cleaner beneath the surface to catch any paint dust or chips. Then, clean the tracks using a dry cloth, and apply a silicone-based lubricant for better gliding. It is available at the majority of home improvement stores or online. You can test it by moving the sash upwards or downwards. If it is still jamming, there could be a problem with the sash cord. Examine the sash cord to determine if the cord is caught or hanging up in the sash, or if it has snapped completely. You'll have to re-cord your window if this is the situation. A pin that holds the rail in place might have been ripped out. It isn't easy to fix and you'll need to call in an expert most often. Make use of a wood hardener when the wood is swelling and warped but there's no pin. This is a quick drying liquid that can help restore damaged wood, which means you'll be able repair your sash window without having to remove it completely. After you've used it, you can pull the two sashes apart by placing a piece wood on the bottom corner of the window where they meet. Draughts Draughts are a major problem for old sash windows particularly in winter months. They are often caused by rotten wood, broken putty or worn sash cords. This allows cold air to get inside the window, making it difficult to warm your home. You can stop draughts by filling gaps with expanding foam, or using draught-excluding strips available at most hardware shops. They're effective however, you will require replacement periodically as the foam expands with usage. A alternative that is more durable is Gapseal, which is a spongy rubbbery seal that can be cut to the size you require and then put into the gaps between the window frames of your sash. It can be applied on its own or with adhesive strips placed on the top and bottom of the frame. This option is quite costly and will have to be reapplied throughout the course of your windows' lifespan, but it is a long-term solution and is easy to take off in the event that you want to open the window. Cling film can also be used to stop drafts. Simply roll it up and push it into the gaps surrounding your window. This is a great draught-stopper however it could also block the sash's movement and even cause a fire. The sash must be removed in order to reopen the window and the clingfilm needs to be reapplied every time the sash is closed. A better option is to have your window sash professionally draughtproofed as part of a comprehensive refurbishment service. This can include new sash cords as well as staff beads, parting beads, lubrication of the pulley wheels and rebalancing of the weights, and painting or staining the frames and sashes. This can aid in restoring the function of the sash and increase its energy efficiency, as well as fixing any minor wood defects. It is less disruptive than removing windows, and can reduce drafts, enhance the thermal efficiency and dramatically reduce costs. Decay The good news is that your windows' sash frames aren't beyond repair if they have been damaged or decayed. The frames of these windows are typically constructed from high-quality timber. With the right restoration, they can be restored to ensure high performance for a long time. Regular inspections are key in ensuring that the wood is adequately ventilated. This will stop the accumulation of moisture that can lead to wood decay. The majority of issues that arise that arise from sash windows are readily apparent, however some are more difficult to detect. Particularly, wood decay is a difficult issue to address because fungus consumes the wood. It is possible to fix damaged sections of timber however, the best method to avoid further rot is to make sure the wood is kept dry. The first thing to do is to remove any paint from the hardware. It may be necessary to remove the bottom rail from the frame and also the rail that joins it (this will depend on the position of the sash). You'll then have to remove the "pocket covers" which are bits of wood that are located on the sides of the frame low down that allow access to the weights (the parting beads run through the middle of them). You may need to use a sharp knife to remove them if they're fixed or painted. After the pockets have been removed, you can begin to chisel out any wood that is rotting, and apply a good quality water-resistant wood filler. After the filler has dried, the primer must be applied to guard against further decay. It is a good idea to examine inside the window the sashweights to make sure they are properly balanced. They shouldn't be misaligned or double glazing repairs pulled one side harder than the other. The sash may fall off its track if they aren't properly balanced. This could cause the frame to crack or even be damaged. The sash weights can be replaced with new ones or a new mechanism for balancing can be installed to stop the sashes from swinging towards the wrong side of the frame. Poor Security Sash windows are vulnerable to damage and wear from the weather over time. Over time, this can lead to timber decay which is then required to be replaced, a costly repair that needs to be addressed as quickly as is possible. The signs of decaying wood can be seen by water marks under the window or by the frame becoming soft to the touch. It is crucial to speak with an expert to assess the situation and determine if repairs to the window sash are needed. In the same way, over time, the bottom rails can be damaged. The sill may show water marks, or a window that is soft to the touch could be a sign of this. A professional consultation will be required to assess the situation and recommend any resealing or replacement of window sash components. double glazing near me and triple-glazed Sash windows do an incredible job at keeping noise pollution from entering your home, and it could be a cause for concern when they start to let it in. If this happens the structural integrity could be in danger and the sash window may need to be replaced. A common issue with repairing sashes is when the sash gets stuck in the frame. This could be caused by the sash cord being snapped or it could be a sign of an issue with the sash's or ratchets. If the problem is related to the sash rats, a bit of gentle persuasion is often the best solution. Removing the sash from the frame and clearing the tracks of dirt or dust will often aid in resolving this issue. After the tracks have been cleaned, removing any security fittings that may be present, and then removal of the sash cords as well as chains will allow the sash be removed. A draught seal may be applied around the staff bead to reduce draughts and enhance the appearance of the paint finish. Decorators caulk can be used to fill in the gap between the box of the sash and the sash. This will enhance the operation of the sash and decrease the risk of draughts.
