How do weight and pulley windows operate in traditional architectural designs?
Weight and pulley windows operate in traditional architectural designs by using a system of counterweights and ropes to open and close the windows. The weights are hidden in the window frame and are connected to the sash with ropes. When the window is opened, the weights help to balance the sash, making it easier to move. This design allows for smooth and controlled operation of the windows.
How does a window sash stay up?
Older sash windows stay up through the use of a rope (called a sash cord) and a counterbalanced lead weight, designed to match the weight of the sash. The sash cord is attached to the side of the sash, runs up the frame and over the top of a small pulley wheel, and then down the other side (hidden behind the frame) to a lead weight. When the sash is raised the weight is lowered, and vice versa. In modern sash windows and some new timber sash windows, the sash cord and weight system is replaced with spring loaded balances, which are tensioned to make sure that they hold the sash in place rather than pulling it up or letting it drop.
