components of a window. To avoid confusion and confusion, a reputable window
installation company will explain the distinctions between these two components.



Mullions, also known as dividers, are commonly seen in multi-paned windows. In
the past they were used to provide a support and to separate large sheets.
Nowadays, they are an ornamental and design element that can give a timeless
appearance to your home.

because of broken cords or springs. The sashes may also be too heavy, or they
may have fallen off the track. Rebalancing springs and weights can fix a sash
that's difficult to lower or raise.



If you have an older window with one glass pane the wood strips that hold the
glass in place are called muntins or mullions. If they start to rot, you will

water. It is important to examine the sill and make sure that it slopes
downwards, away from the house. If it doesn't then a drip cap could easily be
put in place. It's a simple task that will greatly reduce the chances of water
infiltration.



Sashes



If your window sashes aren't working correctly, it's important to examine the
situation. Wooden windows sashes can be affected by weather conditions and the
passage of time. If they do not open properly, air or water can easily enter the
room. Aluminum sashes can be ineffective due to similar events. A damp or
swollen appearance on windows is a common indicator of such problems.



Most often sash problems are the result of simple wear and tear. They can often
be corrected by filling the sash, sanding and repainting. However, more serious
problems will require disassembly of the sash. This should be left to window
repair professionals.



The sash is removed by first taking the locking pins off and the sash cords from
the window frame. Next, remove the parting beads (vertical strips of wood that
are holding the upper sash) and then pull out the upper sash. Once the sash has
been removed, it is possible to remove and store the hardware for the sash.



The mortise and the tenon joints of the sash are joined by wooden pegs. Take the
pegs off using pin punch and hammer. The pegs are usually larger on one side
than the other. Drive out the pegs from the smaller end in order to avoid
damaging the sash.



Once the sash is completely disassembled you'll be able observe the pockets that
are holding the glass panes. The pockets are typically pinned or screwed into
place and must be gently snipped out using a sharp knife.



After the pockets have been removed, the sash can be bedded in new glazing
compound. The writer puts the sash in bed using an easel made from wood, and
then holds it against the easel as they work the compound into a groove or
rabbet surrounding the pane opening. The sash must be allowed to dry for at
least two days before it can be put back together. The sash is then treated with
a homemade wood preserver made from one-half mineral spirits and one-half boiled
linseed oil. This reduces the amount of that draughts are emitted, and increase
the capacity of the window to be closed and opened.



Drip Caps



Drip caps are basic, almost imperceptible caps that divert water away from
window frames during a rainstorm. They are usually constructed from wood, but
they may also be created out of brick or a different type of masonry. Some drip
caps sport a decorative appearance, while others are more practical. A good
quality drip cap is resistant to the elements, and prevent water from leaking
into the casings, which could cause wood decay.



A drip cap can be easily installed by a homeowner with some basic tools and a
bit of knowledge. Many homeowners choose to hire a professional to install their
drip cap. A drip cap should be nailed to the sheathing around a window at least
one inch from the trim board and it should slope away from the window. Use
galvanized nails, and apply a high quality exterior grade sealant on the
underside of both the drip cap and sheathing.



Homeowners can make drip caps at home by using aluminum sheets, a vice, and a
few simple tools. To do this the homeowner has to first remove or pry up the top
row of the window. Then, they will be able to cut a drip-cap to a length that is
slightly larger than the width of the window. Once the drip cap has been cut, it
must be placed beneath the flashing tape and attached to the sheathing using
galvanized nails. It is crucial that the cap is nailed at both ends, and that it
is attached to the sheathing in such a way that it won't budge, even with the
weight of the sheathing and siding connected.
