I'm sorry that it didn't arrive with the appropriate strength balance. There are several different balance strengths available, if your top sash isn't staying up on it's own, a heavier duty balance will fix it.
#VINYL LATTICE PANELS AT MARVINS HOW TO#
Do you or anyone know of a way to lock the upper sash in place while retaining the ability to unlock it to tilt/clean/use the upper sash at some point short of nailing it in place? Any ideas about recessed lifts that could be mounted lower down on the upper sash?I wish Loewen had provided some sort of user manual, or at least printed something on the back of all the labels glued all over their glass about how to work the sashes, how to adjust the springs (is this an option?).Any help would be appreciated.
#VINYL LATTICE PANELS AT MARVINS WINDOWS#
And for the windows over the kitchen sink, even I have problems reaching the upper portion of the upper sash to latch the window.I'm ready to drive a nail through the side of the upper sashes. There is no good way of lifting the upper sashes back into place except by pushing up on the very top of the upper sash.
But wouldn't the design of the springs or whatever take that into account. I understand the glass in the sashes today is heavier.
The upper sashes droop when unlocked the metal screens all look like they have beer guts from outside (how hard is it to get tight screens?) And don't get me started on their non-tight production scheduling. In order to close them again, tightly, you need to push up on the upper sash before locking.These windows seem to be droopy all over. The Loewen windows, whenever you unlatch them to open the lower sash, the upper sashes drop down a quarter inch or more. The original doublehungs are great, in good shape, even after 50 years. The rest of the house is 50+ years old with original wood doublehung windows. I just got all of our Loewen windows installed (after months of e another thread :( )How long did it take to get replacement sashes from Loewen?I got a house of doublehungs from them and after living with them for a couple of weeks, am ready to take a hammer to them!These windows went into an addition.
