Repairing Wooden Sash Bay Windows

Hello,
I have a great wooden sash bay windows where the windows do not fit the frames well (let in the cold air) and are single glazed (not well insulated).

Can I get them double galzed and repaired so the frames fit better?
A Tall Order?

Thank you for your help,


Adrian.

I have used a company called Mighton who do aftermarket kits for sash windows. Have a look at their stuff you should find something there...alternatively try Secondary double glazing or temp window film which does work and is a cheap short term solution..

If you replace the single glazed glass in the sashes with double (no problem if the rebate is deep enough) you will need to increase the size of the counterweights or you will have trouble opening them.

hi just have some step units made they fit into the same rebate as single units and the other part of the unit comes into the inside of the sash frame thats all you could get years ago ive glazed many houses with these units including metal framed windows all you need to do is measure the rebate as normal and measure the inside of the sash then deduct a small amount for out of square dont replace with plastic wood is good and they will give you as much insulation as new windows but look ten times as good
go for it
