If your home has ROW windows and are in need of sash replacement or repair, our company has over 15-years of experience in providing custom fabricated sashes to fit your ROW Window main frames. We have fabricated and installed thousands of sashes.
Don’t let rotting wood or broken glass compromise your home’s value, energy efficiency, appearance, or security. Replacing the sash can make your windows look and operate like new without the need for a full window replacement, saving you tens of thousands of dollars while keeping the interior casing around your windows in tact.
ROW Window Sashes
ROW Window Company (Royal Oak Windows) is no longer in business. WRG remains committed to providing services for their customers.
ROW was founded in 1948 and were made in Rockdale, IL. They held on to a long tradition of manufacturing wood windows but gradually introduced vinyl models in the 1990s. ROW eventually closed their doors in early 2010, and no new ROW windows are being manufactured, until now.
Whether your ROW windows are experiencing wood decay or insulated glass seal failure, we do not repair the sash we replace the sash with a new one which will resolve both issues. A “sash” is the glass and the wood around it. It is the entire part that swings out when opened. We’ve created a new design to replace the failing Original ROW sashes.
We do not use external, plastic glazing strips on our new Gen 2 sash instead we use a room-side wooden glass stop. You can, however, opt for the original ROW sash model with external glazing strips for an exact match inside and out. We’ve upgraded two very important components when we build your Gen 2 replacement sash. We start with solid full-length Poplar wood rather than engineered, finger jointed Ponderosa Pine which is what ROW used. We use Accoya® Wood for the bottom rail and solid Poplar for the top rail and stiles. Accoya® is a pressure treated wood that boasts an extremely long-life expectancy. We treat the bottom of the stiles in a non-toxic liquid called Woodlife Classic 111 to prevent premature wood decay. We use a “Silicone Wet Glaze System” with an interior wood stop when glazing the glass into the sash. A bead of silicone is applied to the exterior at the bottom rail where the glass meets the clad.
Most important… We use Cardinal IG® (insulated glass) because they build the best insulted glass unit in the country, hands down. They have over seventy years of experience and data to prove it. This is the same glass company used by Andersen, Pella, Marvin, and others in their Premium Windows. Cardinal IG® has a Twenty (20) Year Manufacturer’s Seal Failure Product Warranty. OSR is an authorized dealer of Cardinal Insulated Glass. For your convenience I’ve included a link to view the Cardinal Glass Industries Warranty as well as their LoĒ³-366 coating which come standard with our replacement sashes. OSR warranties and policies can be found here. All warranties are transferable.
We do everything in-house. We do not outsource anything other than insulated glass and the profile forming of the clad and wood. We have full control of the build-quality from raw wood to the installation of the sash. The new sash will have all new wood, LoE glass, aluminum clad and weather strip as well as new hinges top and bottom. The only things we reuse from your original sash are the lock keepers, and strut brackets. However, we can replace those if needed. We provide a Three-Year No-Decay Warranty with our pre-finishing services on our new Gen 2 sash. Original ROW sash will have a One-Year No-Decay wood warranty as they did when they were new from ROW.
“You’ll Love Your Windows All Over Again!”®. I guarantee it.
