Product Information

Full details

This Crystal LH Side Hung Double Glazed Window in Black is ideal for homeowners seeking improved energy efficiency and security. Its key benefit is providing natural light while offering excellent insulation and a secure locking system. A potential caveat is that the 'LH' designation means it's specifically designed for left-hand hung operation, requiring careful consideration during purchase. Key features include A-rated U-value, double glazing with a low E unit, espag locking with night vent option, and a complete installation kit.

FAQs

What does 'LH Side Hung' mean?

'LH' stands for Left Hand. 'Side Hung' means the window opens outwards from hinges located on the left side when viewed from the exterior of the building. It's important to ensure this orientation matches your installation requirements.

What is the U-value of this window?

This window has an A-rated U-value of 1.4 W/m2K, indicating good thermal performance and efficiency.

Can the locking mechanism be set to vent?

Yes, this window features an 'espag locking system' with a night vent option, allowing for two locked positions for secure ventilation.

What is included with the window?

The window comes complete with a white handle, a PVC cill, and glazing packers needed for installation.

How do I clean the uPVC frame?

Clean the uPVC frame with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Is this window suitable for a bathroom?

While it offers good performance, the 'Clear' glazing may not provide sufficient privacy for all bathroom applications. Obscured glass alternatives might be considered if privacy is a primary concern.

What are the exact dimensions of the window?

The window measures 610mm in width and 1040mm in height. The overall height includes the PVC cill.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Check that the espag locking system is fully disengaged. Ensure there are no obstructions around the sash. If the issue persists, the frame may have settled; consult a professional for adjustment.

Drafts or air leaks around the window.

Verify that the window is fully closed and locked. Check the condition of the seals; if they are worn or damaged, they may need replacement. Ensure the window was installed correctly and sealed properly to the building fabric.

Water ingress around the frame or cill.

Inspect the external seals and any sealant between the window frame and the wall. Re-apply sealant if necessary. Ensure the cill is correctly installed and sloped to direct water away from the building.

Locking mechanism feels stiff or jammed.

Clean the locking points and mechanism with a mild cleaner and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant. Ensure no debris is obstructing the moving parts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances home insulation, potentially lowering heating costs.
  • Provides a secure locking system for peace of mind.
  • Offers flexible ventilation options with the night vent feature.
  • Durable construction with low-maintenance uPVC.
  • Includes all necessary components for straightforward installation.

Cons

  • Left-hand hung operation is fixed and cannot be reversed.
  • Requires specific external clearance for the left-hand opening.
  • As a double-glazed unit, it may not offer the same thermal performance as triple glazing.
  • Clear glazing may not be suitable for all privacy needs (e.g., bathrooms without additional coverings).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This window is designed for a straightforward installation process, especially when fitting into a prepared opening. Ensure the opening is correctly sized for the window unit (610mm wide x 1040mm high including the cill). Use the provided PVC cill and glazing packers to ensure the window is plumb, level, and securely fixed. Connect the handle to the espag locking mechanism as per standard fitting procedures. It is recommended that installation is carried out by a competent person or a qualified tradesperson.

Compatibility: This window is specifically a Left Hand Hung (LH) unit, meaning the opening mechanism is on the left when viewed from the outside. This is crucial for correct installation and operation. The window is designed for standard wall openings and uses common espag locking hardware.

Care: The uPVC frame requires minimal maintenance. Clean the frame, glass, and hardware regularly using a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Ensure the locking mechanism and hinges are kept clean and free from debris. Periodically check that the trickle vent is clear and unobstructed.
