Window Sash Repairs
Window sashes must be regularly checked for mold, mildew and damage. You can reduce the cost of repairs in the future by catching these issues in the early stages, before they become too much.
The sash is an interior frame that is vertically moved up or down in windows that are open. This article will teach you how to do simple sash repairs.
Weather Stripping
Wood window sashes add the classic look to your home. If properly maintained, can last for a long time. They can, however, get damaged or deteriorated over time due to exposure and normal wear and tear. Fortunately, sash repair specialists can restore your windows to their original condition and maintain their appearance for much longer than newer replacement windows.
The first step to sash window repairs is addressing weather stripping, which is found on both the sash and frame. It can cause drafts if damaged or is loose. To fix it, begin by determining your window's brand and glass manufacturer date (etched in the corner of the glass or on the aluminum spacer between panes). Remove the sash and mark its width and height so you can get replacement weather stripping that matches.
Next, remove the sash and place it on a surface so you can access all four sides. If your sash was double-hung, remove the weights using their ropes that should be buried within the jamb lining. After removing the sash with the utility knife, you can remove the weather stripping that was left by hand or with a putty knife.
After the sash is cleared, you can install parting stops. They are long pieces of wood that are used to separate the two sashes. Pam prefers to replace them with standard 1/2-inch-by 3/4-inch window trim from the lumberyard, but you can also replace them with a piece of scrap wood.
After removing the stopper and cutting it to length and then apply a thin layer of glazing compound over the bottom of the sash. Smooth the compound using a putty tool, and let it dry at least one day. After it has fully dried then apply a top coat of acrylic latex paint. This coating will protect the putty and give your sash a fresh appearance.
Sash Hardware
The hardware that supports window sashes susceptible to wear and tear from age and use and the result could be a door or window that isn't able to open or close easily. The good news is that fixing and replacing this hardware is typically very simple and cost-effective. If a sash is difficult to operate try spraying lubrication into the jamb channel, and then slide it open to see if that solves the issue. If not, the problem is likely with the sash balance and you'll have to take off the sash to access this hardware.
Window sashes should be able to open and close with minimal effort. However, this can be a challenge if the weights have been worn out or the sash meeting rail is not properly glazed. This problem could be caused by a variety of factors such as a lack of maintenance and a mismatched weight rating.
If the hinges on the upvc window repairs begin to move, this can cause the sash drag and then hit the frame at the opposite corner (Photo 1). To fix this problem, first ensure that the sash fits squarely in the opening of the frame and then take it out of the window. If the sash has been screwed to the hinge arm, you'll need to loosen the hinge arm and replace it (Photo 2). Install the new sash (Photo 3).
Old windows, particularly those in older houses, can be difficult to open and close due to hinges that are sagging and general lack of energy efficiency. In most instances, a few easy repairs can transform these windows into smooth operators and save homeowners money on energy costs.
In order to make these repairs to sash it is essential to have all the necessary tools in place before you begin. Begin by marking the location of the hinge channel on the frame with a pencil (Photo 1). This will make it easier to put the channel in the proper place when you are finished. Take the sash off and take out all the hardware, including the parting beads cords, chains, and cords that help to hold the sash. Soften any hardened putty using the help of a heat gun set at medium and fitted with a shield to block the nozzle. Take off the old sash and keep it in a bag labeled.
Sash Weights
Sash weights are able to be replaced to improve the performance of your window sash and decrease the energy cost. Sash weights are heavy lead or iron cylinders that are enclosed in a hidden cavity and connected to the movable the sash with a rope. These weights provide counterbalance, allowing the window to be shut and opened without using mechanical or electrical devices. When they fail, sashweights are often ignored or disabled by homeowners.
It is difficult to recover a sash-weight that has fallen from the cavity, so you'll need to find one that fits properly. You will also require a new piece string, a length sashcord and a few sashpulleys for tying the weights you are replacing to the cord.
Mortise and Tenon joints are used to join old wood windows. Hammers and pins can be used to take out the wood pegs holding the parts together. The majority of them have large diameters on one side and a smaller one on the other, which is why it is important to remove the smaller-diameter sides first. Later sashes made use of glue instead of pins. They can be cut with a knife and mallets.
Once the sash is freed, you can remove the sash stop and gain access to the weight pocket. This is usually done through an opening at the bottom of every jamb. The hole is then covered with the wooden panel which can be removed to reveal the inner workings.
After the sash has been stopped and the access panel has been removed, you can take off the old weight and replace it. Be sure to weigh the sash before you do this, as the weights that were previously used may be different in size from what is needed. Once the new weight has been installed, you can thread the string through the sash pulling mechanism. Then nail the string to the frame, leaving a few inches of string hanging from the head for future adjustments.
Sash Cords
In the majority of double-hung windows the chain or cord is affixed to the weights. This keeps the sashes of the jamb in a balanced manner. Over time, these cords could break, making it difficult to raise the window. A new sash cord can restore the ability to move the sash up and down and will keep it in its place when opened.
The first step to replace sash cords is to locate and take out the access panels located in the jambs. These are usually attached by nails or screws and must be removed. It may be possible to take them out using a hammer or chisel, but it is always better to lay out dust sheets prior to starting any work.
After you have removed the access panel, you can begin working on the sash. Make the small parting beads (also known as "tie rails") out of their grooves with the chisel or flat bar. These are often wedged in or nailed in, but they can be snipped out and it's worth your time. If the sash is still in place, break the mortise and tenon joints with the help of a hammer and pin or screwdriver, then unhook the wood pegs attached to each component. The sash should be able to move freely, however it may need some lubrication in order to feel less stiff.
With the sash in an open position Take a measurement of the sash chain to reach from the pulley at the top of the jamb to the sash slot in the bottom. Cut the cord or chain and attach it in the previous step. You can either employ a hammer and screws or nails, but nails are less likely to cause damage.
It's best to leave the weights that came with the original counterbalance unless you've purchased a kit that will replace the counterbalance that was previously installed. They're not expensive and simple to install if you buy them at architectural salvage stores. Based on the size of your window one or two sashweights might be required to keep it in an open position.
