The increasing popularity in vertical sliding sash windows has highlighted a major problem for many VSS fabricators in achieving the correct balance tension to suit the exact specification of each window.

In a situation where the balance is under-tensioned there is the real possibility that the window can drop; conversely, over-tensioning can result in over extending the balance and causing failure. Once the window has been fully assembled, re-adjusting the tension of each spring balance, which at best can be a time consuming and fiddly task, with sashes being completely removed in order to access the individual balance adjusters.

Following an extensive two-year development programme and exhaustive product testing, J.Banks, one of the UK’s leading hardware manufacturers has now launched the EASY-JUST range of spiral sash balances.

The new pre-tensioned range of balances features convenient top mounted screwdriver adjustment for quick and easy access without removing the window. The unique and fully patented EASY-JUST diecast mechanism has been specifically designed to include an automatic adjustment stop to prevent over tensioning and a tension release button, should re-adjustment be required.

EASY-JUST spiral sash balances represents the latest addition to an extensive range of new and innovative sash window fittings introduced by J.Banks this year. The company has recently launched Tilt Arms, Shoes and Brackets, Tilt Stops and Tilt Catches, all manufactured from Austenitic Stainless Steel. These new products complement the already well-established brands of Cam-Lok, Sash-Lok, Sash lifts Ring pulls and Handles.
