I am cheap. I have perfectly good double hung windows but they don’t tilt for ease of cleaning. Is it posible to buy just the jamb liner and hardware to convert existin double hung to tilt? If so, do you know a source?
Thanks

Source control, ventilation, and filtration are the keys to healthy indoor air quality. Dehumidification is important too.

Greetings Bill,
Apparently somehow your post got lost in the cyberspace.
This post, in response to your question, will bump the thread through the 'recent discussion' listing again.
Perhaps it will catch someone's attention that can help you with advice.
Cheers
damn, am I fat!

Bill:
We do that sort of thing all the time around here. I use Tilt/Take-out Jamb liners from Brosco. You have to rip a strip off each side of the sash to make room for the new jamb liners (I use a sled on my table saw to make life easier) and then plow a groove in the edge of the sash to key into the ridges on the jamb liners (I use a dado blade with a tall rip fence) to act as a track that holds the sash in place. The jamb liners are held into place by screws or clips depending on who makes them. The first time you do it, it takes awhile but if you are doing a number of sash you pick up speed quickly.

What Bill said.Best to you and yours, Chris.
Some say I know too much.

Tim:
Check my response to Bill. I'll let you guys know.
BILL
Thanks for the info and description of the process. I went to Bosco's web site but could not find any info on jambliners. Do you get them by just asking for replacement parts? Do they also carry and sell the pivots and tilt locks? Thanks for your help.
Bill
I looked and didn't see them either. I usually just ask for them, they are sized just like a window (ie; 8x10 6 over 6) and come complete with all the hardware and instructions. I'll ask my salseman and see if they have any kind of special name or maybe a part number.
BILL
Nailbanger,
Thanks for your interest and help.

Bill & Tim:
My salesman calls them "Tru-Lok Tilt 'N Clean Balances" and they are from Brosco.
Best of luck.
