Double Hung Window Replacement in Toronto

Double-hung windows consist of two operable sashes and a counterbalance system, which can experience wear over time. At Orangeville Door Window & Glass Experts, we diagnose and repair all common issues to ensure your windows operate safely, smoothly, and efficiently.

Falling or Slamming Sashes

When the balance system fails, sashes may drop unexpectedly or refuse to stay open. We repair broken springs, detached balances, worn pulleys, and other components to restore controlled, stable sash movement.

Painted Shut or Stuck Windows

Layers of paint or swollen wood can cause windows to become completely stuck. Our technicians safely free stuck sashes, remove paint buildup, and adjust tracks to ensure smooth year-round operation.

Drafty Meeting Rails

Air leaks often occur where the upper and lower sashes meet. We realign sash channels, install interlocking weatherstripping, and improve compression seals to eliminate drafts and increase energy efficiency.

Broken or Missing Hardware

Tilt latches, sash locks, and other hardware pieces can break or go missing over time. We replace damaged components with matching or upgraded hardware to restore security and ease of use.

Fogged or Failed Insulated Glass

Condensation between panes signals a failed seal. Instead of replacing the entire window, we install new insulated glass units (IGUs) to restore clarity, insulation, and overall performance.

Rotten Sills and Frames

Toronto’s varying climate can cause wood frames and sills to rot. We repair or replace affected sections using rot-resistant materials while preserving your window’s original style and structure.

Difficult Tilt-In Function

If your tilt-in sashes won’t release or lock correctly, cleaning becomes difficult. We repair tilt mechanisms, adjust jamb liners, and ensure the sashes tilt smoothly and safely.

Balance System Failures

We repair all types of balance mechanisms — including coil balances, spiral balances, block-and-tackle systems, and traditional weight-and-pulley designs — ensuring sashes stay in place at any height.
