A lick of paint can do wonders

When you paint your sashes, you can improve how they look and provide them with extra weather protection. If you are careful you will have a well-painted sash window that looks great.

It is not wise to add to old layers of paint as they will build up. This can stop your window from opening and closing properly. You need to take the time to sand the woodwork and remove any old paint flakes, bubbles, or drips.

After the sanding process, you should use a rag or brush to remove any dust. You should then wipe the surface over with white spirit to remove any dust or grease. Before you start to paint, apply a coat of exterior primer and let it dry.

Reversing the sashes will allow you to get at all of the parts. Now, you can finally begin painting. Make sure you use high quality outdoor gloss paint and do not miss any areas. The paint on the woodwork should overlap the glass a little to create a seal that is watertight because exposed wood can rot.

You need to take your time when painting sashes; failing to do it correctly can lead to you sealing the window. It is important you understand that paint is not a fix for issues like rot. This is something you need to deal with rather than mask it.
