Spiral Window Balances Overview

Spiral window balances are one of the most common balance systems. Spiral window balances aid in opening windows, as well as holding windows open by utilizing a spiral-shaped rod within a tube. This rod connects to a spring, which is what provides the tension for supporting the sash. The tension is adjusted by being wound (using a tensioning tool) to match the sash it is supporting.
