Toe & Heel
Sashes for windows and doors are heavy, which means that in time, they may fall within the frame. This can cause the sash be misaligned and difficult to lock. To prevent this from happening it is essential to toe and heel the glazing by using "packers". Using these plastic blocks in the frame inside of the double-glazed unit decreases the pressure on the glass's hinge and stops the sash from dropping, avoiding costly repairs.
