Sash Window Repair
Sash windows can get out of balance and crack. Pam searches the web for salvaged wavy glasses, and keeps an eye open for discarded metal sashweights. She then searches for replacements, like nuts or washers, to balance her window.
Pam will bed each pane by placing an edging rope into the rabbet groove, or pocket around the opening. This prevents drafts and costly heat loss.
Sashes that stick Sashes
It's a nightmare when your double-hung windows get stuck. You'll lose your view if they rattle during a storm. A window that is too loose could let in external noise and air which could increase your energy costs. This is neither ideal, but both could be fixed with the proper tools and perseverance.
A common issue with old weighted sash windows is that paint could build up in the channels they slide over, causing them blockage. Most of these problems 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. Then scrape away any paint that's built up. Be sure to employ a sharp blade and then put up sheets of plastic and a vacuum cleaner directly below to keep any paint dust and chips.
You can then clean the tracks using a dry cloth, and then apply an oil based on silicone to make them more gliding. The lubricant can be found at many home improvement stores or on the internet. You can test it by moving the sash upwards or downwards.
If it continues to jam it could be an issue with the sash cord. Verify if the cord is caught or hanging in the sash, or if it has snapped off completely. If this is the case, you'll need to re-cord the window.
