A double glazed sash window in my bedroom is quite difficult to close. When I decided to investigate, I noticed a twisted bar sticking out from one side of the upper sash. There's nothing like that on the other side or on the identical window in other room. What is this bar for? Am I right thinking this may be the reason it's quite difficult to close this window tightly? How easy is it to fix?
Also opening / closing these windows requires a fair bit of upper body strength due to sheer weight of sash panels. Is it normal for double glazed windows or can the weight of sashes be balanced to make the windows easier to operate? Both windows were installed by previous owners and I don't have any helpful paperwork
