Abstract
A tilt window assembly is modified to include a pair of adjustable braces for controlling wind resistance. Each of the braces includes a bracing block and an adjustable stop. The bracing block fits within a shoe channel in a jamb liner and forms a fixed brace between the front face of the jamb liner and a side wall of the shoe channel. The adjustable stop extends from the bracing block through a back face of the liner and bears against the window frame. The adjustable stop together with the bracing block forms an adjustable length brace between the front face of the liner and the window frame.
