I recently posted a message looking for a vinyl sash replacement kit. I have a single hung vinyl window with damage to the sash. This is a new construction house, built 2.5 years ago. Replacing the window would mean peeling back the vinyl siding on the outside of the house to remove the window. I'm looking to avoid replacement if I can.
Unfortunately, I do not know the manufacturer of the windows. Neither does the home owner's association. The builder doesn't. The supplier to the builder no longer carries windows.
I find it hard to believe some window manufacturer hasn't started to make replacement vinyl sashes. For new construction houses, it's nearly impossible to replace the windows without great expense or trouble. You would think there is an easy way to address this problem.
Does anyone know why a wooden or aluminum sash replacement kit wouldn't work in a vinyl window?
Are there any other resources or places I can turn to for help with this question? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
