Redland Sash Window Services

If your sash windows are rotting or in need of a draught-proofing solution, you may want to consider Sash window services. They can address issues like broken glass, faulty weights, faulty glazing bars, and more. If your sash windows are not functioning properly, you can ask for a replacement if the problem is severe enough.

Sash window refurbishment

Before starting any sash window refurbishment, you need to make sure that the area around the windows is safe. Firstly, take off the sash cord, which hangs from the sash window. It is important to take off the sash cord because if it is not, you will risk smashing the old glass. Be careful when doing this because the old glass could have flaws from its manufacturing process. Also, make sure that you have adequate insurance and follow the HSE guidelines for working at heights.

Old windows are often rotten and can cause a number of problems, including drafts and rattles. However, if they are repaired correctly, they are often less expensive and environmentally friendly than replacing them. In addition to this, they are also easier to repair than their modern counterparts. The most vulnerable parts of the old windows to rot include the sill and the bottom part of the sash. If you see any signs of rotting, you can use angle brackets to reinforce the joints. The best materials to use for this are brass or stainless steel.

Sash window draught proofing

Sash window draught proofing is part of a sash window overhaul. It entails retrofitting your original sash windows with double glazed ones that are designed to improve the insulation in your home. You can also contact a professional to conduct a draught proofing inspection of your home.

Old buildings and houses with sash windows are prone to heat loss through gaps and cracks. Draught-proofing reduces air infiltration through sash windows by up to 86%. It also helps to reduce noise and dust in the house. Draught-proofing your sash windows will also help to extend the life of your sash windows.

Sash window counterbalance

Sash window counterbalance services are provided to maintain a window's balance. There are several types of balances, including tilt tube and non-tilt tube models. These window counterbalances use weights that should be equal to or less than half of the sash's weight.

To find the right balance for your sash windows, measure the top of the glass from the lower pane. If the glass is single pane, subtract 2 inches from the height. The weight of the window will determine the strength of the counterbalance, which may require replacement. Some companies will make counterbalances for you in a single or multi-pane system.

Cost of sash window repairs

Sash window repairs can be costly, but they are important for a number of reasons. First, a damaged window can be dangerous, particularly if it accidentally closes. Another reason to replace your old sash windows is to increase your home's value. In addition, windows are a great way to improve the energy efficiency of your home.

However, repairing a broken sash window may not be as expensive as you might think. It may be possible to buy a replacement window kit and replace the broken sash yourself. A replacement kit will last for decades, and is both attractive and energy-efficient.
