A window balance (sometimes called a sash balance, window spring, or window "balancer") is a somewhat hidden window component sitting inside the window frame. Window balances are only found in double-hung or single-hung windows and counterbalance the weight of the sash, assisting you with opening and closing your windows. Window balances are found in both residential and commercial windows. Browse window balances, parts, and accessories. There are many different styles, types, and sizes of window balances, so finding the correct replacement can be tricky and at times frustrating. Here at Window Hardware Direct, we strive to make finding the correct window balance replacement as easy as possible. If you need help, you can contact us, chat with us, or give us a call at 1-800-842-0974 and we'll help you find your correct replacement window balance.  Check out our blog on replacing window balances for more information. Whether it's home window repair or commercial window repair, we have the balance to fit your needs. 

Located on your window balance is a number stamped into or printed on the balance. This number is known as the stamp. The stamp on your balance indicates the length of the balance and weight of the sash. The length of the balance is one inch longer than the first number of the stamp. The second number is the weight of your window sash. If your balance is not stamped, you will need to measure the metal channel or tube and weigh your sash using a bathroom scale. Getting precise measurements is imperative for optimal window performance. You can view our guides on measuring block and tackle window balances and measuring spiral window balances for more information on how to measure you balances properly.

Check out our blog on determining the size of the window balance you need. To determine the size of the window balance without the original balance itself, you need the height of the visible glass and the window sash weight. To weigh your window sash, you must completely remove it from the window frame.

You can head over to our blog and view several how-to guides with videos on how to install Block and Tackle Balances, how to install Tilting Spiral Balances, how to install Non-Tilting Spiral Balances and more!
