Sash Window Repair
Sash windows can be out of balance and crack. Pam is on the lookout on the internet for salvaged wavy glasses, and keeps an eye open for discarded metal sashweights. She then seeks replacements, like nuts or washers, to balance her window.
Pam will bed each pane by putting the glazing material in a rope into the rabbet groove, or pocket around the opening. This helps to reduce drafts and costly heat loss.
Sticking Sashes
It's a nightmare if your double-hung windows become stuck. They'll sway in the event of storms and you'll lose view. On the other hand, a window that's too loose will let external air and noise in, and your energy bills could increase. Both of these scenarios aren't ideal but they can be rectified by using the proper tools and perseverance.
Paint can accumulate on the channels of old weighted window tracks, which can cause them to jam. Fortunately, the majority of issues with this can be resolved by cleaning and lubricating the tracks.
Take the caulking off of the space between the window stop (the one on the inside) and the frame of the window. Scrape off any paint that has built up. Make use of a sharp knife, and put sheets of plastic as well as a dust-collecting vacuum cleaner below the surface to collect any paint dust or chips.
Then, clean the tracks with a dry cloth and apply a silicone lubricant to ensure more smooth gliding. You can find this at many home improvement stores or online. Then, move the sash upwards or down to test it.
If it still jams it could be due to an issue with the sash cord. Check to see whether the cord is tangled or hanging from the sash, or if it's snapped. If this is the situation, you'll need to re-cord the window.
A pin that holds the rail in place may have been ripped out. It can be difficult to fix and you'll require the help of a professional the majority times.
If a pin doesn't fall out but the wood has gotten swollen or warped, it's recommended to use a wood softener on it. This liquid will dry quickly and can repair damaged wood. You won't have to take out your sash windows in order to repair them. After using it, you can pry off the two sashes by placing a piece of wood in the lower corner of the window where they meet.
