Extended-Travel Channel Balance Quote

Quick Learner
The metal channel itself measures 14 13/16. It's for a 15" tall (measuring glass panel) bathroom window. The house was built in 2005 so I'm assuming that is also the age of the window. I would need 2 of these. Another problem I have is my front window is completely missing the balances. It's the same type and I believe same company as the other window. The glass panel on the front window is 17" tall x 30" wide and the sash weighs 15.5 lbs. I would also need 2 of these

Thank you for your patience during the holiday season. We can absolutely supply this balance, but it will have to be a custom order due to its configuration. What I'll do now is email you a purchase link and price quote that will allow you to add 2 to your cart.

As for the other window, the one that's missing its balances, I will need a bit more info from you before I can make a recommendation. To start, can you tell me the height of the visible glass? That will be a better marker of length than the overall sash size, which tends to be unreliable.

Then, return to the window that has the 14-3 balance and tell me the visible glass height for that, as well. I should be able to use that comparison to determine what you need.

The 17" inches is just the visible glass. The other window (with the balances) measure 14" tall of visible glass.

Great, thanks for clarifying. So with that in mind we can reasonably assume that your balance is going to be 17-13/16" (probably more like 17-7/8", which is what these balances typically measure). With a sash weight of 15.5 pounds I would also go with the 1750 1740 stamp, which carries 14 through 17 pounds total.

We should definitely be able to supply that size, but please give me a little time to confirm its availability and I'll get back to you ASAP with a purchase link that you can use to add 2 of them to your cart. That way you can checkout with everything all at once.

Please also understand that these balances are non-refundable and that I cannot guarantee that this size is what your window needs. I'm not following any set rules here, just making an educated guess based on prior work I've done with these parts. Just something to keep in mind.

Hello again! I have to apologize for a minor error on my part: the stamp option you will want for this is actually the 1740, not 1750 like I previously stated. Sorry about that!

The good news is that we can provide these. I will email you a purchase link and price quote right now for 2. Please let me know if you had any questions.
