Round Lead Sash Weights

Good value and very prompt dispatch. These 4 sash weights solved a longstanding problem - my flat is in a period house, Grade 2 listed, and the old original iron sash weights no longer did the job. When I came to remove and weigh each sash window, it became clear why not- the old weights were about 20 lb too light. No doubt modern heavier glass had been replacing older lighter glass over the past 170 years. These new lead sash weights did the trick perfectly, especially as they could be cut to size for an exact balance. Advice: replace the sash pulleys too and use heavier sash cord. Minor issue - I had to enlarge the weight pocket aperture, as the new weights were of a greater girth, so check all dimensions carefully. Sash cord needed to be longer too.

Fantastic quality sash weight. Lead, so easy to cut. Unfortunately, lousy courier service bent my weight severely out of shape. Could have been packed a little better, but can’t fault the product itself.

I've had an old sash window double-glazed, which increased the weight from 15lb to 32lb. One of these fitted nicely in the space where the old 7.5lb weight was (even though it's quite a lot longer). A simple stopper knot is all you need to hold it up.

I found that the action was perfect with the new weight on just one side, so I left the other side as it was. I guess the extra friction balances out the fact that I've only got 23lb of weights holding up a 32lb window...

Easy and paint free experience, great customer service, fast delivery. Thank you very much.
