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