Custom channel balances for tilt windows are specialized hardware mechanisms engineered to support and balance the weight of a window sash that tilts inward for cleaning or ventilation. These balances use a spring-loaded mechanism within a durable metal channel to ensure smooth lifting, effortless tilting, and secure holding of the window in any open position. Properly functioning channel balances are crucial for both safety and ease of use,helping prevent stuck, dropping, or unbalanced sashes.

Where Custom Channel Balances Are Used

These balances are most commonly found in modern residential and light commercial tilt windows, where users need to tilt the sash inward for easy cleaning or emergency egress. They are compatible with a wide range of window brands that use the tilt-in design, including many that rely on AmesburyTruth balance hardware. Whether you're updating a worn-out mechanism or replacing damaged parts after years of use, precision-matched custom balances restore the original performance of your window.

How to Identify and Replace Your Balance

Selecting the correct replacement channel balance is critical. Matching the stamped number (such as 10-25, 28-47, or 38-47) and channel size (typically 9/16 x 9/16 inch) to your existing part ensures proper operation. Installation usually involves removing the window sash, releasing the old balance from its mounting clips or shoes, and attaching the new part. If your window uses a ribbed or plain channel, be sure to compare the shape for compatibility. For added convenience, many balances are color-coded by end cap or shoe, which helps with identification.

  • Stamped numbers identify the balance strength and window weight range
  • Standard sizes include 9/16 x 9/16 inch channels, suited to most tilt windows
  • Available finishes such as white or beige allow for a subtle match to your window frame
