Product Information

Full details

This Crystal-Direct double glazed window is designed for homeowners seeking modern aesthetics and improved energy efficiency. Its primary benefit is enhanced home comfort and potential energy savings due to its A-rated glazing. A caveat is that it's specifically a top-hung over fixed light design, which may not suit all ventilation or opening style preferences. Key features include double glazing with argon gas, a low U value for insulation, espag locking for security, and trickle ventilation for air circulation.

FAQs

What is the U value and what does it mean for me?

The U value of 1.4 W/m2K indicates the rate of heat transfer through the window. A lower U value means better insulation, helping to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, potentially reducing energy costs.

How does the trickle ventilation work?

Trickle vents are small, adjustable openings typically located in the top of the window frame. They allow for a controlled amount of air to pass through even when the window is closed, improving air circulation and reducing condensation without compromising security.

Can this window be installed in any wall type?

This window is designed for standard wall installations. However, suitability depends on the specific construction of your wall and the correct preparation of the opening. Professional installation is advised to confirm compatibility.

What is espag locking?

Espagnolette (espag) locking is a type of multi-point locking system that secures the window sash to the frame at multiple points, enhancing security and weather resistance.

How do I determine the handing (left or right) of the window?

Product handings are viewed from the outside. For a top-hung window, the handing refers to which side the hinges are on. If you are viewing the window from the exterior, the side with the hinges indicates the handing.

What maintenance is required for the black frame?

The black PVC frame requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is sufficient to keep it looking its best. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check for obstructions around the opening mechanism. Ensure the espag locking points are fully retracted. Verify the frame has not warped or shifted. Clean and lubricate moving parts if necessary.

Drafts or air leaks around the window

Inspect the seals and weatherstripping for damage or wear. Ensure the window is properly sealed within the wall opening. If issues persist, professional re-sealing might be required.

Condensation on the inside of the glass

This is often due to high humidity levels inside the room. Increase ventilation, use the trickle vent, and consider a dehumidifier. Ensure the window's seals are intact, as internal condensation between panes indicates a seal failure.

Locking mechanism is stiff

Clean any dirt or debris from the espag bolts and keeps. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the locking mechanism.

  • Aesthetically pleasing black frame and white handle finish.
  • Designed for energy efficiency, potentially lowering utility bills.

Cons

  • Specific top-hung over fixed light configuration may limit opening options.
  • Requires professional installation for optimal performance and safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This window is designed to be ready for installation. Ensure you have the correct opening size and that the frame is plumb, level, and square before fitting. Use the provided glazing packers to secure the unit properly within the frame. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting, sealing, and to meet building regulations.

Compatibility: This window is a specific size (610 x 1190mm) and configuration (top hung over fixed light). It is designed for standard wall openings suitable for these dimensions. Compatibility with existing frames will depend on the precise dimensions and installation method of the old window. The black frame and white handle offer a modern aesthetic that complements many exterior styles.

Care: To maintain the appearance and functionality of your window, regular cleaning is advised. The PVC surfaces can be cleaned with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Check the locking mechanisms and ventilation vents periodically to ensure they are free from debris and operating smoothly. For the glazing, a standard glass cleaner can be used.
