FAQs

What does 'LH Side Hung' mean?

LH Side Hung means the window opens outwards from the left side, like a door hinge, and is viewed from the exterior of the building.

What is the U-value and why is it important?

The U-value measures how well a window insulates. A lower U-value (like the 1.4 W/m2K of this window) indicates better insulation, meaning less heat escapes, leading to lower energy bills.

Does the window come with fitting instructions?

The window includes essential components for installation like a handle, PVC cill, and glazing packers. Detailed fitting instructions should be consulted from a professional installer or building regulations.

Can the white handle be replaced?

Yes, the white handle is typically a standard fitting and can be replaced with other compatible handles if desired, though this may affect the warranty depending on the installer.

How do I clean the espag locking system?

Keep the espag mechanism clean by wiping it with a dry cloth. Periodically, a light application of silicone lubricant can ensure smooth operation.

What is the benefit of trickle ventilation?

Trickle ventilation provides a continuous, small amount of fresh air, helping to reduce condensation, prevent mold growth, and improve indoor air quality without significantly impacting security or heat loss.

Are the dimensions provided inclusive of the cill?

Yes, the product description states that the overall height includes the cill.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check for obstructions around the frame or sash. Ensure the espag locking mechanism is fully disengaged. Lubricate the moving parts of the locking mechanism if necessary.

Condensation appears on the glass surface

Ensure trickle vents are open and not blocked. Reduce internal humidity by ventilating rooms regularly. If condensation is between the panes, the sealed unit may have failed and requires replacement.

Locking mechanism feels stiff

Clean any dust or debris from the locking points and the espag mechanism. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the lock.

Drafts felt around the window frame

Check the seals around the frame for any damage or gaps. Ensure the window is properly installed and sealed to the building fabric. If the issue persists, professional assessment may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy efficiency with A-rated glazing, reducing heating and cooling costs.
  • Enhanced security features with the espagnolette locking system and night vent option.
  • Improved indoor air quality through integrated trickle ventilation.
  • Durable and low-maintenance PVCu construction.
  • Includes essential components like a handle, cill, and packers for easier installation.

Cons

  • The fixed panel limits design flexibility compared to fully openable windows.
  • Measurements include the cill, requiring careful planning for installation.
  • Specific handling (LH Side Hung) may not suit all room layouts or preferences.
  • White color family might require specific maintenance to retain its pristine look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the installation area is correctly measured, accounting for the included PVC cill which is part of the overall height. Use the provided glazing packers to ensure the unit is securely and correctly glazed within the frame. The window comes with a white handle and requires standard window fitting procedures. From the outside, the unit is configured as a left-hand side hung opener next to a fixed panel.

Compatibility: This window is designed for standard wall openings and is compatible with most modern building materials. The PVCu construction ensures suitability for various climates.

Care: Clean the PVCu frame and glass regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. The locking mechanisms and hinges should be checked periodically and lubricated if necessary according to standard hardware maintenance guidelines.
