Sash Window Repair
Sash windows can go out of balance and crack. Pam searches the internet for salvaged, wavy glass and keep an eye out for discarded, metal sash weights. She then seeks replacements in the form of nuts or washers to help balance her window.
Pam puts each pane in with a rope of glazing compound she uses to create the rabbet groove or pocket, that is around the opening. This prevents drafts and costly heat loss.
Sticking Sashes
When your double-hung window gets stuck, it's an absolute nightmare. You'll lose sight when they squeak in a storm. On the other side, a window that's too loose can let outside air and noise through, and your energy bills may increase. Both of these scenarios aren't ideal but they can be corrected with the proper tools and perseverance.
Paint can build up on the channels of the old weighted sash window tracks, which can cause them to block. 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. Scrape away any paint that has accumulated. Make use of a sharp knife and put sheets of plastic and dust-collecting vacuum cleaners below the surface to catch any paint dust or chips.
You can then clean the tracks with a dry cloth, and then apply an oil based on silicone to make them more gliding. You can find this at the majority of home improvement stores or online. Then, you can move the sash up or down to test it.
If it continues to block the sash cable could be faulty. Check to see if the cord is caught or hanging in the sash or snapped. You'll have to re-cord your window in the event of this.
