What is a sash window cord?
Although it might seem pretty self-explanatory, it is always good to know about the minor fixup problems needed for your property, to prevent the issue from recurring again. A good pair of Sash windows relies on counter-balance from two weights that are hidden at the sides of each. They are hung on cords, pulling down on a wheel that is located at the very top of each frame. With regular use (as is the point with a sash window installation!), the chord can risk snapping. If this happens, a professional will need to take a look and usually take the sash out of the frame in order for a full replacement. Essentially, it’s a fiddly job but pretty straightforward for someone that knows what they’re doing.
