Sash Window Parts

Sliding sash windows are a beautiful and traditional feature of many homes, but they require regular maintenance to keep them functioning correctly.

Sash windows are a beautiful and traditional feature of many homes and renowned for their prestigious traditional appearance. The ‘sash’ itself refers to the upper and lower parts of the window and single-hung windows have one sash that moves up and down, while double-hung windows have two sashes that can move independently of each other.

Unfortunately, sash windows generally require more maintenance than double glazed windows and over time, sash window parts can become worn, damaged, or corroded, leading to problems with the window’s operation. Regular maintenance and occasional lubrication can help extend the life of these parts, but eventually, they may need to be replaced to ensure the window’s proper operation.

Common problems include sash cords breaking, pulleys becoming worn, and sash locks not working correctly. When these issues arise, it’s essential to repair or replace the affected parts to ensure the window’s proper operation.
