By Chris Caldwell


Property management and repair are two related things that must be done to ensure that a home remain neat and in order. Windows and doors are some parts of the house that are as essential in everyday life as they act as protection as well as ventilation. Windows are of made of different materials and are of different types and sizes and sash window repairs is no different.

At one time the any person a certain period of time has encountered a problem or a frustration of either a damaged pane or one that has jammed to open. They can be made of various materials sizes and shape. They can also differ in types as an example of this type of transom which contains two panels which slide over each other individually. Hiring a home renovation expert would be appropriate.

This article talks about openings that have two panes sliding each other vertically with a framework that holds the panes of it in its frame for insulation. Doing repairs on the frame is very possible but also it can be very dangerous to your casement as it is the support of all panes. This type of pane is very unique as it also requires an equipment to repair the frames and the panes and if not handled in the correct manner it can lead to permanent damage of a casement.

It is recommended that you hire a well-trained person DIY has to advice and do the repair if you are not a professional. It is only the well trained person who can identify the fault in a skylight. The problem can either be with the balance weights of these frames or the way the pane cords are aligned, it can also be problems with the pulleys that help the panes slide over each other.

The main problem that faces it is rotting of the wood. The frame holding the panes together might rot and the solution to that will be removal of wood. After removal it is then replaced with another hard wood that is sanded to smoothness and then applied with vanish to give a good outward appearance to the house and home and to make it last for long.

Experts face certain challenges when carrying out construction of this type of skylight. The major one is that of a broken cord. A profession ought to cut it into two pieces to place it on the window. However, it is not a guarantee that it can never decay or break. It might decay due to aging or heavy weight. However, this is not to discourage you as it can always be replaced with another one.

Broken panes can be replaced with new ones stronger and of a similar size to the previous ones. Other repairs include mending of broken windowsills depending on the level of damage in draught proofing. They can also be removed and fitted with other hardwood sills.

Removal of all damaged parts should be done using the correct tools and care should be exercised to avoid damage of the frame. They should be checked regularly for oiling and any other damaged part should be repaired immediately. Practicing regular sash window repairs will prevent even further damage.
