Sash Window Weights

What Are Sash Window Weights?

A sash window weight acts as a counterbalance for one or more movable panels or sashes. The term refers specifically to windows where glazed panels slide vertically or horizontally. By using these weights, the sash can stay securely in position at any height, making the window easy to open and close.

These weights play a crucial role in maintaining the traditional function and charm of sash windows. They ensure smooth and balanced movement, preventing the sash from slamming shut or falling unexpectedly. This mechanism not only enhances safety but also extends the lifespan of the window components by reducing wear and tear.

Lead Weights

Lead sash weights remain a trusted choice because they can be cut to size with ease. Each weight features a central hole running through its full length, allowing for straightforward installation. Before ordering sash weights, we recommend checking the box size of your window to ensure a precise fit.

Lead’s natural density provides excellent counterbalance, ensuring sash windows operate smoothly and quietly. Additionally, lead weights offer long-term durability, making them ideal for both new installations and period window restorations.
