Spiral balance color

I am replacing old spiral balances on my vinyl tilt windows. The old balances are 3/8" 29" long and green tip, however my window only weighs 12lbs. Should the replacement balance be a red tip? I'm afraid that the window would be too light for the green tip balance. What weight range is the red and green?

Hello! If your sash is only 12 pounds then the green tip would be a little too strong, yes. You can actually see a chart on our S900-29 store page that tells you how much weight each option supports: Red carries 10 through 22 pounds while Green carries 14 through 26. In your case, red would be my recommendation.
