Window Sash Repairs

Sashes for windows must be regularly checked for mold, mildew and other damage. If you catch these issues early, you can save money on future repairs.

The sash is an interior frame that can move vertically up and down in windows that are open. This article will show you how to make several simple sash repairs.

Weather Stripping

Wood window sashes give an elegant look to your home. When properly maintained, they can last for a long time. They may, however, be damaged or degraded over time, due to exposure and normal wear and tear. Thankfully, sash repair experts can bring your windows back to their original condition and keep them looking fantastic for much longer than newer replacement windows.

Weather stripping is the primary thing to address when repairing sash windows. It's located on both the frame and sash. It can cause drafts if worn out or loose. To fix it, begin by determining the brand of your window and the date of manufacture for the glass (etched in the corner of the glass or on the aluminum spacer between panes). Then, take the sash off and mark its width and height to find new weather stripping that matches.
