“When you left after the day you completed the first window,
I just kept going in there and lifting it and closing it -- almost
20 years in my house and most of the windows have never worked that
well! I could move the window with just one fingerl! Now I can get
rid of that collection of sticks I have been using to prop up my
windows for years.”
Easily open your windows in the Summer!
Are your sash cords broken or been cut? Do you have to prop your
window open with a stick or can (which can be a safety issue)? You
desire to open your windows to allow the fresh outdoor air into your
home ~ especially to cool off your home in the evenings during these
hot summer days.
Sash Cord Pulleys
Sash cord pulleys need to be in good condition to work properly.
Sometimes, the sash cord pulleys are painted. The paint needs to be completely removed
and the pulley needs to turn freely.
These photos show a pulley that was convered with at least 4 coats of paint.
The pulley was inoperable. The paint was removed, then painted with flat black and
reinstalled with brass wood screws for a sharp look.
If a pulley is beyond repair, Well Hung Windows will search out a replacement.
