Sash Window Springs, Sash Balances, Spiral Balances, Cord Balances, You name it!

Having had experience in repairing a lot of commercial vertical sliding sashes, it was only natural that Cavendish became known for solutions to the non-standard windows that were out there.

Alcan perhaps had the lead for variations at the time - they had Weatherguard, Clifton, Cabot and Cotham, all vertical sliding sashes, all with different fittings.

Crittall had had VSS in the early days and the later system had Kralasik guides, where the vertical rails would normally be, in the same way Warwick sashes had no side rails, only top and bottom rails on each sash, which confuse a lot of people when they first come across them.

This is the guide that Crittall used, this one being for 4mm glass and there is one for 3mm. Unfortunately, many of the 3mm were later glazed with 4.4mm laminate, which makes them very difficult to slide!!

So, we were now selling a lot of balances for Vertical Sliding Sashes, along with all the other parts that went to make the window work, such as dedicated balance shoes/feet, panel guides, fitch catches, brush pile and anything else needed to keep the sashes working properly.

We have ended up making balance feet/shoes for Planet Windows, Heywood Williams, Crittall, Alcan and several others, which means old balances can be pulled out and the new ones put back in, straight away. 

We also do parts for Kawneer, Monarch, Hinchcliffe,Warwick etc.
