The Story
The sash window pulley style is a key structural timber component in traditional sash windows, holding the parting bead in position and keeping the top and bottom sashes correctly separated. Available in 1.2m (1200mm / 4ft) lengths, it is suited to period property repairs and full sash window replacements.
Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Timber |
| Nominal Length | 1200mm / 1.2m / 4ft |
| Profile | Pulley style (grooved, rebated) |

What it's used for
- Retaining the parting bead in traditional box sash window frames to separate the upper and lower sashes
- Repair and restoration of single-glazed sash windows in listed buildings and period properties
- Full sash window replacement projects where matching original profiles is essential
- Integration with other sash window joinery components including staff beads, parting beads, and liners
Fitting and handling
Allow the pulley style to acclimatise in the room where it will be fitted for at least 48 hours before installation, particularly in older properties where humidity levels may vary. Fix using appropriate timber adhesive and lost-head nails or screws, ensuring the grooved face is correctly aligned to receive the parting bead. If left unfinished on site, apply a suitable primer or paint system promptly to protect against moisture movement, in line with standard joinery practice across the UK.
FAQ
What is a pulley style in a sash window?
The pulley style is the vertical timber section within a sash window box frame that houses the pulley wheel and retains the parting bead. It sits between the inner and outer liners, keeping the two sashes running in their correct channels.
Can I use this pulley style to repair a listed building sash window?
Yes. Because the pulley style replicates the traditional joinery profile used in period box sash windows, it is well suited to like-for-like repair work in listed and historic properties where original window styles must be retained.
