What Are Sash Cords and Spiral Balances?
Sash Cords
Sash cords are ropes or chains used in traditional sash windows to balance the window sashes (the movable parts that hold the glass). These cords connect to counterweights inside the window frame, making it easy to open and close the windows. Over time, sash cords can wear out or break, causing the windows to be difficult to operate.
Spiral Balances
Spiral balances are a modern alternative to sash cords, using a spring mechanism to balance the window sashes. These are more durable but can also wear out over time. Signs that your spiral balances need repair include windows that won’t stay open or are hard to move.
