The sashes are then cleaned up and re-corded. Both sashes are balanced for smooth operation and fitted back into the frame. New staff beads (right) are fixed into place.

High quality weatherpile is applied to all parting and staff beads. We use a pile with an additional fin in the center. This increases the weather performance and draft exclusion properties.
