If I had this style window, I'd be inclined to replace the sash cords with chains, which should have a longer lifespan.

Good sash cords will outlast you, chains simply aren’t worth the expense unless the sash is extremely heavy, which is their real shining feature, the load capacity

For single pane windows, they used to make a device with two big magnets and you put cleaning pads sandwiched on either side of the glass between the magnets, then slid the whole thing back and forth until the glass was clean. I don't know who sells them now.

my windows are very similar to these. one window wont stay open. the sash cord seems to just move up and down with the window and get bunched above it when lifted, like the weight isnt moving or something. is it possible to fix by myself?
@barryallenporter8127
@barryallenporter8127 2 жыл бұрын
Cord probably broke in the weight pocket. I know this is 2 years old but you can get to the weight pocket by pulling the casing, or if you’re lucky your jams have access doors.

Fuck these stupid windows. Every window is different and on most houses they have the original windows and its a god dam mystery how to get to the counterweight to fix the sash cord. People just didn't know how to make shit before the 1970s did they? They didn't know how to make it CORRECTLY so that it could be serviced in the future

After the stop is removed window will swing inside and you can clean it in place. The cord should have enough give. In Edinburgh I've seen lots with hinges that can support the window piece in this operation.

great explanation of the window parts. its very clear you know your stuff and I'm impressed you actually do maintenance on windows that old. If you make another video you should make it of taking the window apart and some of the maintenance since you do a good job at identifying all the components. Not many people have windows that old so most of the you tube videos on replacing windows aren't as helpful. Nice job!

Some of the kits have an added step as to wear you use a hair dryer and shrink the plastic to fit. As well if they give you extra tape. Maybe insulate all the way around the window. I would think you would be able to utilize alot if not all of that excess if you allow it to travel up the window and better insulate from air gaps no matter how small. If you have it, use it.

Thanks for the info on rebates. Just wanted to add that there are a variety of instruments you can bring to a client's house to perform an indoor air quality test in place, so you do not necessarily have to take air samples and ship them out. However, tt may be cheaper to send them out if you are looking fo specific VOCs.

I think it is important to point out that the house leakage rate is not a measure of indoor air quality. It is simply a test that approximates leakage. The assumption that a leaky house at or above .35 air changes per hour = good indoor air quality is highly flawed. Though in a house with forced hot or cold air, this might be accomplished at times, a house with no system to properly mix or distribute the outside air around the home would likely leave areas very poorly ventilated. And many very dangerous pollutants like radon are undetectable by our senses of smell or feel.
