sash window (upvc) made openable

I have a fixed sash window that I want to make openable.
So far I've removed the plastic side cover that prevents the bottom sash from moving upwards. It now opens but is tricky.
Although the sash mechanism is installed (they do this with some "fixed" sash windows) the springs, catches and handles are missing.
Does anyone know where I can get the springs at least - the manufacturers and installers are no help in this.

hi I make PVC sash for a living. it is possible to change a sizes sash to make it slide but much depends upon how the fixed sash is secured. often its straight through the sash so the glass needs removing to start with.
there are a few companies but Caldwell are the main balance producers. you'll need to take out the sash and weigh it, so the balances will be the right strength.
you'll also need shoes that connect to the balances, and pivot bars, finger latches etc you may find this link helpful

Buying cheap products which fail, wastes money and costs twice as much in the long run. :mad:0
