A sash balance is a spring-loaded device, usually a spring balance or tape balance which is used to counterbalance a sash in a double-hung window; eliminating the need for sash weights, sash cords, or pulleys.
Spiral Sash Balances
Spiral sash balances combine a stainless steel rod torsion and tension springs, producing a self contained balancing device, which is capable of maintaining the equilibrium of a sash window at any point in the travel of the sash window.
The advantages of spiral sash balances include:
- Easy and smooth sash operation.
- High quality materials.
- 10 year guarantee.
- Range of fixing arrangements.
A spiral sash balance creates a smooth and easy sash operation compared with other methods of sash balancing.
