Ives 026AW Aluminum Bar Window Lift White

Product Description

The IVES 026AW is an aluminum bar window lift finished in white, designed for use on single- and double-hung windows in residential and light commercial applications. The window lift provides a firm gripping surface that allows a user to raise or lower a sash without direct contact with the glass or frame edge. Constructed from aluminum, it offers corrosion resistance and long service life in both interior and exterior adjacent environments. At 4.2 inches long and 0.1 pounds, the 026AW is a compact, lightweight hardware accessory suited for standard sash installations.

Window lifts of this type are commonly installed on wood, vinyl, and aluminum sash frames in new construction and renovation projects. The white finish makes the 026AW a natural fit for windows with white or painted trim. Building contractors, finish carpenters, and general contractors typically install these during finish-out or as direct replacements on existing sashes where original hardware has worn or is missing.

Installation Notes

Window lifts are typically installed by finish carpenters or general contractors using a screwdriver or drill driver. Ensure the sash is fully closed and stable before drilling pilot holes to prevent frame movement. Follow fastener manufacturer recommendations for the sash material to avoid splitting wood frames or cracking vinyl. No special tools or licensed trade are required for standard sash installations.
