Window Balance Replacement

Before window balancers, people had to get creative when they wanted to open their windows. If you wanted to prop up a window, you had to lift it with all your strength. Then you would prop the sash up with open blocks or even sticks.

Window balances changed all that.

Window balances are a standard component of single and double-hung windows. But how do you know if your school has single or double-hung windows? If you can open and close the window vertically, it is most likely a single or double-hung window.

Single-hung windows are those in which the bottom half of the window moves up and down while the top half stays in place. Double-hung windows have two sashes that move up and down — the top half and the bottom half of the window.

As we mentioned, you should always try to replace the window’s cord and weight balance when possible. These systems are outdated, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find repairmen who know how to work on them. 

You can’t repair a spiral balance. And that’s bad news, because these balance systems weaken the more you open and close your windows. Instead, you’ll have to replace the spiral balance, preferably with a more modern system.
