Product description
1 ¾″ Sash Pulley – PVD Brass
1 3/4 sash pulley PVD brass provides smooth cord guidance and enhanced surface durability for traditional timber sash windows. The precision wheel supports reliable counterbalance movement, while the advanced PVD brass finish helps resist wear, tarnishing, and surface damage over time.
Why choose 1 3/4 sash pulley PVD brass
Firstly, the 1¾″ pulley size fits many standard sash box frames, making it ideal for restoration and replacement projects. Secondly, the precision-machined wheel helps reduce friction, allowing the sash cord to move freely. As a result, windows operate more smoothly and cord lifespan improves. In addition, the PVD brass coating provides greater resistance to scratching and tarnishing compared to traditional finishes.
What is PVD brass and why it matters
PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a specialist coating process that creates a durable protective layer over the brass surface. Because this coating improves hardness and corrosion resistance, the pulley maintains its polished appearance for longer. Consequently, PVD brass pulleys work particularly well in high-use environments and heritage refurbishments where both durability and appearance matter.
