Sash Windows Repair and Replacement

Older sash windows may be prone to a variety of issues, including draughts
rattles, and poor insulation. A little care can often restore them to a top
level of performance.

First, knock off the paint seal from the window stop using an utility knife.
Remove the staff bead, then pull out the upper sash and take off any chains or
cords. Store the hardware in a bag with the label.

Sealing

Sash windows look gorgeous in older buildings, but they require regular
maintenance and are susceptible to problems like wet rot, cracked putty and
draughts. Sealing, replacement or repair of the windows sash is an effective way
to reduce these problems and increase energy efficiency.

Draughts are usually caused by gaps between the sash and the frame. They can
also lead to noise reduction and rattle. Sealing beads, specialty products, and
secondary glazing can all be used to minimize the air leakage inside the sash.

A common problem is a gap between the top of the sash and the jamb frame or
between the bottom of the sill and the sash. This can lead to moisture leaking
in, rotting of the wood, and mould growth. Seal the gaps with silicone,
polyurethane, or foam sealant.

If a gap in the window is preventing windows from closing and opening without a
hitch, it might be necessary to put in new sash runners or spring bronze. These
bronze strips are attached by staples or nails to the lower sash edges in order
to stop sideways rattling. They are available at DIY stores. Weatherstripping
made of tubular vinyl can also be used, but it is more likely to tear and can
detract the appearance of your window.

When installing replacement runners for sash It is crucial to measure the window
opening. It is best to take measurements from the top of the sash to the
horizontal line of the rail that connects it, and from the bottom of the sash
down to the sill. These measurements can be transferred to new runners that will
ensure an improved fit and performance of the window.

In older buildings the gap between the frames and sash is typically greater
around the leading edge. It is possible to draught-proof it using a strip of
V-strip that is self-adhesive. However it is essential to consider this when
measuring and cutting material.

The strip should be cut at the top of the sash with an inch extra on each side
to allow for movement. It should be trimmed squarely and positioned in
accordance with the angle of the sill. Use stainless steel screws since brass
can be rusty. Also, make sure you use a high quality polyurethane or silicone
glue.

Refurbishment

The sash window is an elegant historical feature in many homes. They are
beautiful but they can also be prone to problems. Rattling, draughts, sticking
or leaking are typical issues. window repairs rotting of frames and meeting
rails, broken glazing bars, or damaged weights could cause a lot of trouble. If
you encounter any of these issues, it is time to replace or repair your sash.


Refurbishment is more expensive option than simply replacing the sash itself but
it can improve the appearance and functionality of your sash window to as good,
if not better than its original state. It involves re-lining the meeting rail
and sash boxes with traditional putty and fixing any rot damage. Re-painting the
frame of the timber is also included, as is re-glazing using traditional glass.
A full refurbishment can also include adding draught proofing, re-attaching the
sash furniture/ironmongery and replacing the parting bead (the dividing strip
between the two panes of glass). It is also recommended to put in brush pile
weather strip to prevent rattling.

If a new sash is required the frame can be constructed from similar designs to
the frame of the previous one and preserve the style of your home's historic
design. This is particularly important for listed properties where any changes
made to the windows will require planning permission.

Compare the metal tabs on the new window with those of the old sash prior
installing it (see below). If they are different shapes and sizes, the new sash
will not fit in the window frame slots.

If a window is damaged, it is crucial to decide between repair or replacement,
because each kind of work will require a different degree of expertise and cost.
For instance, if a sash window has a large chunk of glass missing, a replacement
will be the best choice. However in the event that the glass is damaged in a
small area or a sill has begun rotting then a repair will be more appropriate.

Replacement

Many homeowners would like to keep their old sash window in good condition, but
the deterioration of the window will eventually cause issues like draughts or
rattles. Broken glass may also occur. This is why replacing sash windows is
often the only solution to these problems. However, there are other ways to
improve the sash windows beyond just replacing them, such as installing draught
proofing and secondary glazing.

Take note of the severity of the problem. It might not be necessary or suitable
to replace the window. For example, a foggy glass issue typically occurs within
the sash and is usually able to be resolved without ripping out the whole frame.
A weak seal can often be corrected by a few easy fixes rather than an expensive
full-frame tear-out and replacement.

Sash windows are surprisingly complex in design and feature a lot of moving
parts. This is why it can be tricky to remedy some common problems like sash
cords that are snapped or broken panes. Many homeowners do not want to
disassemble the window frame in order to fix these problems. Many homeowners
decide to hire a specialist for these reasons.

Specialists can restore sash window frames back to their original glory or bring
them up-to-date with the latest energy standards. This can include
reconditioning the frames and installing secondary glazing to stop heat escaping
from the window. You can also add a brush-pile strip in order to minimize drafts
and stop the window from squealing.

To begin a repair project, remove the window stops (the moldings on the front of
the lower sash). Then, loosen the staff bead, then pull out the lower sash. Take
off the chains or cords on both sides. Finally, remove the sash weights from the
bottom of the weight cavity and remove them. Place the hardware in a secure
place. Soften any old, hardened putty or filler with a heat gun and scrape it
off with the help of a putty knife. Reassemble the window, reconnect the
hardware and lubricate the pulley axles using silicone or Teflon spray.
Reinstall the parting bead and put back the upper sash.

Repair

The choice to replace or repair a sash window is a crucial one for homeowners.
Although modern replacements offer a host of benefits but the original features
of a home that was built earlier give authenticity and value to the property and
are generally less expensive to repair than replacing them. Keeping them in good
condition can help save on energy costs. Sash windows can be prone to rattles
and drafts. This could result in higher energy bills and damage the frame and
sash.

Sash windows can be difficult to open or close. The mechanism for sliding could
become dislodged or draughty. It is best to leave the repair of a window with
sash to a specialist, as they require extensive dismantling. With the right
tools and knowledge it is possible to repair old sash windows yourself. Adam
shows Jess how to start:

The process of bringing the window apart begins by removing any security
fittings on the front of the lower sash. Then, remove the staff bead, then take
the sash off the bottom. Remove the cords and chains from both sides, and tie
them in a way that they can't be pulled back by the weights attached. It's now
time to remove the upper sash. Unscrew the sash stops (a thin vertical strip of
wood that is used to hold the sash) and remove any painted-covered hardware. The
sash should be pulled back to reveal the weight. It is a massive iron or lead
cylinder, which is tucked away in a cavity and is secured by an elastic cord. To
stop the sash from falling into the void pierce it using a nail, and then
sacrifice the weight.

After the sashes have been removed clean the jambs as well as rails that connect
them. Remove the glazing bars and the cords for the sash. Then, using a utility
blade take off any paint that is on the sash stop. When the sashes are returned
to their original positions, you can attach the stops using nails that are small
enough to prevent puncturing the balancing weight.

To reassemble the sash place the top sash on its track first, and then the lower
sash. Make sure that the sash stops are aligned properly with the frame, and
then reattach the beads that separate if required. Reattach the sash cords or
chains and then install the sash pulleys.
