The operable sashes in Homeview Awning Windows are fitted with a high
quality slimline winder as standard, ensuring smooth, easy operation and

11Jambliner Double Hung
Windows
Double HungS
The Jambliner Double Hung Window is a vertical sliding window style which
has been used in home construction throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
Historically, the most common design has been the “weights and cords”
Double Hung window, which used a set of counter weights hidden in the
frame to offset the weight of the sash.
The Homeview Jambliner Double Hung window offers a state of the art
mechanism that not only makes opening and closing the window easy, it also
allows you to completely remove the sashes from inside for easy painting
and cleaning. This is not normally possible with traditional Double Hung
windows.
The Jambliner system incorporated into the Homeview window is
flush fitted into the side of the frame and does not require painting or
maintenance. The Jambliner system also negates the need for containers to
hold the counter weights (called boxed mullions or jambs). This allows the
maximum amount of glass in the frame,
allowing more light.
Note: Jambliner is available in a limited colour range

13Counter Balance |
Double Hung Windows
Double HunGS
Much like the Jambliner Double Hung Window, the Counter Balance Double
Hung Window is, effectively, a vertical sliding window. The Double Hung
style has been used in home construction throughout the 19th and 20th
centuries.
The Homeview Counter Balance Double Hung window offers a combination
of the look of weights & cords and a modern counter balance sash system,
adding that sense of tradition and technology in one package.
The heart of this new Homeview system is the counter balance mechanism
which utilises the weight of one sash to counter the weight of the other.
When sliding up the inner sash, the outer sash simultaneously moves in the
opposite direction. The counter balance system also negates the need for
containers to hold the counter weights (called boxed mullions). This allows
the maximum amount of glass in the frame, therefore allowing more light.
This system provides all the advantages of weights and cords, but none of
the disadvantages. As with most Homeview windows, our Counter Balance
Double Hung windows can be fitted with standard, toughened or laminated
glass and can even be glazed for low noise or double glazed for superior
energy efficiency.
