Those old fashioned windows have some advantages that the newer windows lack. They do require more maintenance, however, or they will be an inconvenient headache for the homeowner. Making money as a sash window repair service could be the opportunity you have been looking for in your community.
This style originated in the mid 17th century and was quite common in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is composed of usually two panels of multiple glass panes. The panels are capable of sliding, usually vertically but sometimes horizontally, to open. It allows the maximum opening capacity of fifty percent. Both sides of the glass panes can be cleaned from inside the building.
In the hung sash version the top panel can open downward and the bottom panel upward, allowing continuous circulation of air within the building. As warm air rises and exits from the top, an equal volume of cooler, fresh air enters at the bottom.
This is a much healthier arrangement that what exists today with our tightly sealed homes, and sometimes windows that can not be opened at all. Toxic materials found in carpeting, paints, paneling, fixtures, furniture, and so called air fresheners, are continually recirculated through heating and air conditioning systems. Fresh, clean air is not allowed into these homes.
These units function properly through the use of weights hanging inside the frames, suspended by cords that pass through pulleys at the top. Compression weather stripping serves to assist in keeping the panels from sliding downward, on their own. Maintenance of these systems is needed or, over time, warping, rotting, swelling, or shrinking wood or negligently applied layers of paint, will cause malfunctioning. Eventually, without correcting these problems, panels will not slide when wanted, or will fall down by themselves. They may be rattled by the wind, leak cooled or heated air, or let drafts in.
If properly maintained they will work as if new again. Functionality and beauty will be returned and their life extended. The owners will be appreciative of the work done, and will gladly pay the cost of good work.
Making money as a sash window repair service while making customers appreciative is the objective. All that is needed is a community whose homes have these units, and the knowledge to understand the workings of the systems and diagnose the problem, and the skill and patience to fix them.
