WHAT IS THE JAMB SPREADER?

The Jamb Spreader

The Jamb Spreader is a unique hand tool designed specifically for compression-jamb windows with tilting sashes. This patented tool significantly eases the task of tilting the sashes inward for cleaning. How? The Jamb Spreader provides you with the leverage to spread and hold the vinyl jambs apart, allowing you to simply pull the sashes inward, clean them, and then easily return them back to their places between the jamb liners. As The Jamb Spreader is subsequently removed from the window, the ribbed jambs spring back into the sash grooves, re-establishing the window's weathertight fit.

We're always looking for new ideas, and now we're proud to introduce our newest patented product, The Curtain Spreader! We'll be posting more on this helpful product soon. Since its introduction to the window industry in 1997, our Jamb Spreader tool has become well known in the industry as the tilting solution. In fact, several major window manufacturers have acknowledged The Jamb Spreader's effectiveness in assisting with sash tilting. All of our window dealer clients, as well, report that they and their customers are very pleased with the tool's effectiveness and ease-of-use (not to mention its ability to work with a range of window sizes).

Jamb Spreader Demonstration

Without The Jamb Spreader. She’s trying to tilt the sash with all her might, but it won’t budge! That’s because the vinyl jambs interlock very tightly with the sash - good for thermal efficiency, but bad for tilting.	1) Using The Jamb Spreader. The tool is set to the proper length, then placed diagonally between the vinyl jambs, just above the bottom sash.	2) It’s just a matter of leverage. One end of the tool is pulled downward, spreading the jambs apart just enough to break their seal with the sash. To see a brief film of this action, please click on the last link in this series.

3) Voila! Once The Jamb Spreader is holding the jambs apart, the sash can be pulled free with great ease.	4) Ready to wash. Once free of the jambs, the sash can be carefully lowered into position for washing. That wasn’t so bad, was it? Click here to see full instructions.
