Double take

Keep your old sash windows working like they did when new

-

Yes, you can fix a sash window yourself!

Double-hung timber sash windows are a real blast from the past. They work using weights hidden on the sides of the window that counterbal­ance the weight of the sash. The two are connected using sash cords, but these don’t last forever and eventually break. Luckily, replacing them is a fairly simple task, and your windows can quickly be returned to their former glory.
