How Do You Remove a Sash Window Secondary Glazing?

Published in Window Maintenance 1 min read

Removing sash window secondary glazing panels is typically a straightforward process, often involving a simple lift-and-tilt method for many common systems.

Simple Steps to Remove Secondary Glazing Panels

According to common methods for lift-out secondary glazing, the procedure is as follows:

  1. Lift the panels vertically within their frame. This action disengages them from the bottom channel.
  2. Continue lifting until you see the bottom edge clear the bottom of the frame. This provides the necessary clearance.
  3. Tilt the bottom of the panel towards yourself. Once the bottom is clear, this motion allows the panel to swing out.
  4. Carefully remove the panel from the frame.

This method is effective for secondary glazing systems designed with lift-out panels, allowing for easy removal for cleaning or access to the primary window.

This simple technique makes maintaining your original sash windows and the secondary glazing itself much easier.
