Seven years ago we had most of the windows in our older home replaced with a Shuco brand vinyl window. these are white vinyl inside and out. no more painting etc. also forgot to say these are a gas filled window , double hung. two weeks ago we were taking out a window air conditioner and we were pushing up on a lip for rasing and lowering the window and darned if it did not break away from the window. so I am thinking we are screwed. well thankfully somebody in this house keeps accurate files as we have a window which is no longer air tight. We call the factory in Conn. and they called yesterday to say " its in the mail" , the replacement sash. this type of window is made for cleaning as the tipin and tip out so when we get the new sash we are to slide it up about three quarters way and tip in and slide up and out. Now will be the problem of what to do with the old sash. the glass is all good and the frame is perfect except it no longer has the gas seal.. I know we way over paid for the window and installation but maybe it is worth it after all. Lee
