SASH BALANCE

Quick Learner from USA
Hello Customer Care ,



I have about (12) "Bilt-Well" double hung wood windows installed in the late 50s. the windows are all slightly different but most are 8 over 12. I can provide all sizes if necessary. I think the Bilt Well window company of Dubuque Iowa is no longer in business but may have later been a division of Eagle or Anderson. I am needing new sash balances and am not sure what I need to order. Parts for these windows are no longer made so I am searching for a suitable replacement.



Your Swisco blog mentioned Anderson 24-1321 model sash balances will work but I am not sure this is what I need. I believe this newer Anderson box is a little smaller than mine but may work OK.



I will immediately send you detailed pictures of the sash balance in a separate email to follow.



The glass panes (measured glass only, not wood ) measure 9.5" x 11"



The existing plastic sash box is about 8" x 3 ¼" x 1 .



My current sash box is plastic (yellowish color) and there is a number (#8) stamped on the end of the box .



I can send a picture is you need more information. The approximate measurements of the lower section of the double hung window are 39" x 42" and the measurements for the upper window section are 26" x 42".





Thanks for any help you can provide,

Hello,

Your photos resemble a Pella sash balance box, which, unfortunately, can not be replaced by an Andersen balance. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly for assistance. Good luck with your repair!
