Pozzi Wood Window Rotten Sash Repair

Our Pozzi Wood Window Sash Repair
One customer had a Pozzi Wood Window sash with a rotting bottom sash and a failed seal in the double pane glass unit. The sides and top of the window sash were fine, along with the sill plate, so we simply replaced the bottom sash by custom cutting a replacement out of Fir right there on the spot. The new sash was primed and all screw holes filled with putty. The frames were left ready to be painted by the customer at their request.

This customer had received quotes for replacing the entire wood window that were three and four times what we charged her for simply doing glass replacement and a little custom wood rot repair. An entirely new window would not have matched her existing Pozzi windows, while after a fresh coat of paint on her window sash our window glass replacement and repair is impossible to detect.

Weathervane Wood Window Rot Repair

Wood window rot repair is our specialty. Unlike most window companies, we can do glass replacement in Weathervane, Pozzi and Marvin wood windows, along with rot & repair of casement windows, window sills and wood window frames. Our wood restoration is NOT done using Bondo to fill holes. We fix a window by simply cutting out and replacing the rotten sections of window frames using quality replacement parts or custom cutting new Fir wood to fit on-site.

Here is an example of a recent Weathervane wood window repair. While doing window glass replacement on a home outside of Issaquah, we discovered a window sill was mostly rotten.

Weathervane Wood Windows
Weathervane Windows was established in 1980 and manufactured several styles of wood windows. During the housing boom of the 80’s and 90’s, they were the window of choice of homeowners and builders alike. The original Weathervane company dissolved around 2001 and sold the name to a company who exclusively makes vinyl windows (that company subsequently went out of business in 2011).

Weathervane Wood Windows have a poor reputation that is not entirely deserved as far as we are concerned. On the whole, the lifespan of well maintained Weathervane Wood Windows have averaged around 20 years here in the Northwest. That is nearly double the lifespan we see with the currently popular (and cheap) low-end vinyl windows being used in all new construction.

The first Weathervane windows to fail in your home will be the ones facing south or west that get the most direct sunlight. Indication of a failed window seal is often a swirling blue haze along the sides or top of a window. Another indication is when you see moisture, fogging or mineral crystal deposits on the inner glass. 

Full wood window replacement can be significantly more expensive than simply replacing the failed thermal pane window glass. Window Defoggers specializes in replacing just the double pane glass units in your Weathervane Wood Windows, so that your stained or painted window frames and sashes continue to match.
