Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This window is designed to be installed into a prepared opening. While it comes as a complete unit including frame, glass, handle, and cill, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure proper sealing, structural integrity, and optimal performance. The product height includes the PVC cill, which should be factored into the opening size.
Compatibility:
This uPVC casement window is a popular choice for many UK homes. It is compatible with standard wall openings designed for windows of its dimensions (820x820mm including cill). It is suitable for use in most residential settings, offering good performance for general-purpose glazing.
Care:
- Cleaning the Frame and Cill: Regularly wipe down the uPVC frame and cill with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning the Glass: Use a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth or squeegee for streak-free results. Clean both the interior and exterior surfaces.
- Maintaining the Locking System: Periodically check that the espag locking mechanism operates smoothly. Lubricate the moving parts with a silicone-based spray if necessary, but do not over-lubricate.
- Checking the Trickle Vent: Ensure the trickle vent is clear of debris to maintain proper airflow.
