Re: Are Replacement Windows a Waste of Money?

One big energy leak with Sash Cord windows is the the Sash weight pockets on either side. Most replacement window installations don't insulate these pockets, leaving a huge "thermal Hole" in the House wall. That is one reason I developed my method of modifying the original sash to accept vinyl jambliners which eliminates the Sash Weight system, insulates the weight pockets, weatherstrips the sash and makes it tiltable and removable. For details see my website:
