Window Hardware Direct is proud to announce that we now offer The Silver Line Inverted Block and Tackle Balance for Tilt Window Applications! Tilt windows, also known as tilt-and-turn windows, are popular for their versatility, as they can be opened both horizontally and vertically. This design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, making them a practical choice for many homeowners.

At the heart of the Silver Line Inverted Block and Tackle Balance system is its unique mechanism, which consists of a series of pulleys and cords enclosed within a compact housing. This setup allows the window sash to move smoothly up and down along its track, providing effortless operation for the user. The use of high-quality materials ensures durability and long-term performance, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.

Understanding the Silver Line Inverted Block and Tackle Balance

The Silver Line Inverted Block and Tackle Balance system enables the vertical movement of the window sash when used in conjunction with Pivot Lock Shoes. Pivot Lock Shoes are components located at the bottom of the window sash, responsible for securing it in place when the window is closed. The Pivot Lock Shoe attaches to the bottom of the balance using the hook attachment shown below:

When the window is in the closed position, the Pivot Lock Shoe engages with the window frame, providing stability and preventing the sash from rattling or shifting. This ensures a snug fit, enhancing the window's energy efficiency and sound insulation properties. Additionally, the Pivot Lock Shoe acts as a safety feature, preventing unauthorized access or tampering with the window from the outside.

The integration of the Silver Line Inverted Block and Tackle Balance system with Pivot Lock Shoes creates a harmonious relationship between functionality and security, elevating the overall performance of the window. Users can enjoy smooth operation and peace of mind knowing that their windows are securely locked in place, providing comfort and security for their homes.
