Sash Window Balances from Unique Window Services

Sash Balances are the mechanisms on each side of your double hung windows to allow easy and equal movement of each window sash. Double hung windows are the pioneers when it comes to the use of passive ventilation. Opening each sash, one from the top and one from the bottom, hot air escapes through the higher opening and cool air is drawn in through the lower one, therefore cooling the space. For the best results on hot summer days remember to open both sashes not just one.

If your sashes are not moving easily up and down or are moving more easily on one side or another and get caught on the angle, it may mean that one or both of the sash balances is broken. They are housed on the jamb of the window frame and run from the top of the window frame to the bottom of each sash.

With a spiral running down the centre of each tube the tension created in this is what holds each sash in place at any position up and down while allowing the windows to move easily and evenly.

'Unique Sash Balances' are spiral sash balances and are suitable for aluminium and timber double hung windows. These sash balances have a strong spring mechanism, are made in Australia and only use the highest quality materials.

These products are suitable for use in either new installations or replacement on existing windows and will give you many years of trouble free service. Unique Window Services can supply these balances across the country or we can complete the replacement/installation in South East Queensland.
