Great series! My wife and I just bought a 1925 Georgian Revival with sash windows we are restoring. After many experiments with different products we finally found a paint stripper than removes the many years of paint that we’re keeping the upper sashes from moving.

@BrentHull 2 года назад

Awesome! Great work. Let me know if there is anything else you'd like to learn.

@donnabosela4580 2 года назад

Would love to know the name of the paint stripper - since none of them work anymore - since the govt stopped letting companies use the chemicals that worked!!

@MatthewFenty 2 года назад

Sash chains make a beautiful window pop more - as long as it's finish matches the rest of the hardware (and is sized appropriately). And while people are changing out the cord, good opportunity to pop out the pully and give that a clean.

@BrentHull 2 года назад

Agreed!! I should have said more about that. Thanks!

@pauldozier8270 2 месяца назад

Thanks Brett. I was hoping for some hacks on getting the upper sash out past the parting bead. For me it's the trickiest part of the whole system, and I almost always break at least one of them getting the sash out. Any videos around that illustrate this? Thanks for all your work.

@BrentHull 2 месяца назад

Ok, we find the parting bead so easy to replace, is 1/2 by 3/4 that we don't worry to much about it.

Whenever we find lead window weights we save them for the building inspector. He makes fishing sinkers with them and we get brownie points!

@BrentHull 2 года назад

That's a good one! They also can be used for windows. Thanks for sharing.

Don’t forgot to lubricate the pulleys to stop the squeaking

@BrentHull 8 месяцев назад

Good point. Thx.

@WakandaBabe Год назад

Mine are six over one too. Just got all of my windows with the weights/pulleys fixed. No more using books to hold up the windows!

@BrentHull Год назад

SO glad! Well done.

@WakandaBabe Год назад

@@BrentHull But since you're 'here' I have a question: are those six windows meant to open or not? Mine never have but I when I was having my pulleys restored the carpenter said those windows are usually painted shut.

@borp6912 Год назад

@@WakandaBabe Brent said in another video that both sashes were meant to open because it would create natural convection: cool air would enter through the lower window, and hot air would rise and exit through the higher window. So I would guess that it originally opened and was just painted shut over the years.

@WakandaBabe Год назад

@@borp6912 I think you're both correct. Come the warmer weather I'll be on a mission to get those open. I would rather have natural cooling than AC.

@WakandaBabe Год назад

Me too BUT, the screens that are in the windows now only go up half-way. So if I open the windows on top and bottom, part of the window is open to flies, etc. When I look at my windows from the outside it looks like there were exterior, full length screens originally. Makes sense. So I am on a mission to make those.

@myhope8181 2 месяца назад

You mentioned fixing a broken sash but what about a stuck sash that won’t close. It’s not a painted window just old wood oil stained but one side seems the weight isn’t working.

@BrentHull 2 месяца назад

You probably have the weights hanging up on something in the weight pocket. If you take off the mull cover you can fix the hang up. It could be caught on the other weight or it could be plaster chunk, etc. Good luck.

@rrtexas6976 5 месяцев назад

The balances for the windows on my bottom floor have been swapped for spiral counter balances. What type of issues could you foresee me seeing going back to a weighted pulley system?

@BrentHull 5 месяцев назад

If the weight pocket is still in place, I wouldn't see much of a challenge at all. Retie the weights to the window and see what happens. Good luck.

@rrtexas6976 5 месяцев назад

@@BrentHull that is what puzzles me. The 6 over 6 windows on the bottom floor look like they have a smaller mullion in comparison to the 1 over 1s on the second floor that still have the weights.

@donnabosela4580 2 года назад

You mentioned waxing the track to make it slide easier afterwards - what wax product do you use?

@BrentHull 2 года назад

Yes, just a paste wax, we use car paste wax that you can get at an auto parts store. Good luck!!

@youtrades Год назад

What kind of wax?!

@youtrades Год назад

Lol, I got the answer in your next video😜

@BrentHull Год назад

haha great!

@BasitAli-lf6tn 2 года назад

Hi, sir i ask you about Venetian sash window. and you said i will make video. when you will make?

@BrentHull 2 года назад

Yes, sorry, its on the list but keeps getting bumped. is there something specific you are wondering? I can possible answer in an email. info@brenthull.com Thanks.

@BasitAli-lf6tn 2 года назад

I want to make this window in my house, I have seen some videos of it, but some details are needed.

@babszollak2512 Год назад

What if your windows are beautiful (just had it all painted to due to smoke damage) and you don't want to ruin everything just to put in a new cord. I see these videos and they are taking apart an already crusty window. But mine are in pristine condition. I guess I use the stick to prop open and skip the cord replacement.

@BrentHull Год назад

Well, if you are careful you may be able to open up the weight pocket without visible damage. Good luck.

@jonking7345 Год назад

3200 people just fixed sash cord to their widows and then realized there's no way to get the weights back on without taking off the trim and maybe even having to cut into the weight pockets.... This video is not the way to do it. The other parts about removing the trim and weatherstripping were good

@BrentHull Год назад

Ok.
