Is This What They Call A Sash Window?

[Reno RSS Feed]

Hi,

The pictures below are of one of our wooden windows taken (and not very good) from inside the house. The arrows in both images is of a round piece of doweling that appears only just goes inside the top of the bottom window frame - I pulled the top window down as far as I could but it didn't have any doweling there to guide it.

Is it possible to remove the window retaining beading to extract the window so I can work on them independently?

If this isn't a sash window how (once repainted) do you stop either window from falling if opened - I don't mean in their locked position:;

If there is any other advice you feel I should know about before tackling this task your advice would be much appreciated:2tsup:

Cheers
