This Crystal Black and White LH Side Hung Obscure Double Glazed Window (610 x 820mm) is designed for homeowners seeking enhanced privacy and energy efficiency, especially in areas like bathrooms. Its key benefit is combining natural light with obscured glazing and superior insulation, though the left-hand opening might not suit all installations. Features include A-rated energy performance, espag locking with a night vent, trickle ventilation, and a complete fitting kit.

'LH' stands for Left Hand, and 'Side Hung' means the window is hinged on the side and opens outwards. When viewed from the outside, the hinges are on the left, and the window swings open to the left.
The obscure glass significantly blurs any view through it, providing privacy. It still allows a considerable amount of natural light to pass through.
The U-value measures how effectively a window prevents heat transfer. A lower U-value (like the 1.4 W/m2K for this window) indicates better insulation, leading to a warmer home in winter and lower heating costs.
While the window comes with a fitting kit, professional installation is recommended to ensure it is correctly sealed, secure, and performs optimally, adhering to building regulations.
The night vent feature allows you to lock the window in a partially open position, providing ventilation while maintaining a secure, locked state. This is useful for overnight air circulation.
Glazing packers are small shims used to support the glass unit within the frame, ensuring it is correctly positioned and to allow for expansion and contraction.
Clean the glass surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could scratch the glass or damage the seals.
Check for obstructions in the opening mechanism or frame. Ensure the frame is correctly installed and not warped. Lubricate the espag locking system if stiff.
This indicates a seal failure in the double glazed unit. The unit will need to be replaced by a qualified professional.
Clean any debris from the locking points. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the espag system. If the issue persists, contact a window specialist.
Check the seals around the frame and ensure they are intact. If the window was recently installed, confirm that all fixings are secure and sealing is adequate. Recaulking may be necessary.
Setup: The window is supplied with a white handle, PVC cill, and glazing packers, simplifying the installation process. Ensure the frame is plumb and level before securing it in place. Follow standard building regulations and practices for window installation. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results and safety.
Compatibility: This window is designed for left-hand side hung operation, meaning it opens outwards from the left side when viewed from the exterior. The dimensions are 610mm wide by 820mm high (including the cill). Verify these dimensions and the opening direction suit your intended opening.
Care: Clean the glass and frame regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. For the locking mechanism, periodically check for smooth operation and lubricate if necessary with a silicone-based lubricant.
