Sash balances
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.
Standard D type
Standard D type sash balances are light duty and are general purpose for both domestic and commercial applications. These type of sash balances are manufactured in 3 weight groups that are suitable for sash windows with glazed weights of no more than 18.15kgs (40lbs).
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
-
Range of fixing arrangements
-
A spiral sash balance creates a smooth and easy sash operation compared with other methods of sash balancing
Sash balances are a great alternative to sash weights and can be bought at a fraction of the cost.
Rapid tensioner
A rapid tensioner enables ease of adjustment for standard D type balances Giving the ability to apply tension with easy access to the spiral balance with the use of a standard screwdriver, without the need of a tension key.
WINDOW WINDING EQUIPMENT
We offer a comprehensive supply, install and repair service for all types of manual and automatic window winding equipment. We can work with a wide range of window control systems. We can install manually operated window systems which offer an economical solution for ventilation. These systems are particularly useful for windows that are out of reach and require an easily operated control. With a wide variety of remote opening controls to choose from, products from the manual range are typically used in schools, hospitals and public buildings. For automatic window opening, choose from a wide range of actuator systems. Low profile chain actuators are the ideal choice for low level windows and if required, multiple openers can be operated in unison. For heavier duty and out of reach applications such as skylights; linear actuators provide the perfect solution, being simple to use. A range of digital control units are also available for the more advanced detection of wind, rain, and temperature variations. They come with a remote probe/sensor to automatically adjust the window openers to your preset requirements. No matter what the size or positioning of your windows, systems can be tailored to each project whether for industrial, commercial, or domestic use.
