Replace a damaged or worn sash inside your existing frame, keeping the frame and trim and refreshing the window.
The sash is the moving part of the window that holds the glass. When a sash is rotted, warped, cracked or poorly sealed, you may not need to replace the whole window. A new sash, or a sash kit, can fit into the existing frame and bring the window back to life. It can be a good middle path between a patch repair and a full replacement. Homeowners in Nashville ask about sash replacement when the frame is fine but the moving parts have given out.
We examine the sash and the frame, then decide whether replacement is practical. We measure the sash opening, the jamb and the balance system. We order a matching sash or a sash kit with new balances, weatherstripping and glass. We remove the old sash, install the new one and test it. If the frame is also damaged, we explain that a full insert or full-frame replacement will probably serve you better.
Sash replacement works best when the frame is sound and the problem is the sash itself, such as rot, warping or a failed seal.
Sash kits often come with new balances, weatherstripping and glass, so the window works like a new one.
We match sash profile and color as closely as possible, so the window looks right from the street.
If the frame is rotted or out of square, a new sash will not fix the root problem, and we say so.
