    Cotton sash cord w/synthetic core

    I unfortunately had to order multiple sizes until I got the right size for my windows, but this is the best sash cord I've been able to find! It's strong, and the braid is tight - even though the exterior braid is cotton, it's so well made there won't be much stretching, even over time, compared to big box stores versions. Kilians shipped all my orders very quickly and efficiently. They are my go-to site for restoring our c1913 old windows!

    Good quality for a reasonable cost. Fast shipping. Kilian's is a national treasure and valuable to the window resto trade.

    Appears very much like the few remaining 138 year old originals much more appropriate than what I was installing, I'm pleased
