Product Information

Full details

This Crystal-Direct triple-glazed window is designed for homeowners seeking enhanced energy efficiency and modern aesthetics. Its key benefit is superior insulation, leading to potential energy cost savings, coupled with privacy thanks to its obscure glass. A minor caveat is that the included cill contributes to the overall product height, which needs to be considered during installation planning. It features triple glazing, high-efficiency Low E glass with argon fill, espagnolette locking, and integrated trickle ventilation, all within a durable PVCu frame.

FAQs

What does 'RH Side Hung' mean?

RH stands for 'Right Hand'. Side Hung means the window opens outwards from the side hinges, like a door. So, a 'RH Side Hung' window will have its hinges on the right side when viewed from the outside, and it opens towards the right.

How is the overall height measured?

The overall height of 1040mm includes the external PVC cill, which is supplied with the window. Ensure you account for this when measuring your opening.

Is the obscure glass suitable for all privacy needs?

The obscure glass provides a high level of privacy, ideal for bathrooms and ground-floor rooms. It obscures direct vision while still allowing light to pass through.

What maintenance is required for the PVCu frame?

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

Can I install this window myself?

The window is supplied with necessary hardware for fitting. However, window installation requires specific skills and tools. If you are not experienced, it is recommended to hire a professional installer.

What is the benefit of argon gas in the glazing unit?

Argon gas is denser than air and is used as a filler between the glass panes. It has lower thermal conductivity than air, which improves the insulating properties of the glazing unit, reducing heat transfer.

Does the window come assembled?

The window unit itself is pre-assembled with the glazing. The handle and PVC cill are typically supplied loose for easier transport and installation.

Troubleshooting

Window is stiff to open or close

Check for obstructions around the frame or sash. Ensure locking points are fully disengaged. Lubricate hinges and locking mechanisms with a silicone-based lubricant.

Condensation on the glass

Surface condensation on the room-side of the glass is normal in high humidity or cold weather. If condensation appears *between* the panes, this indicates a seal failure and the unit may need replacement.

Drafts around the window frame

Ensure the window is correctly installed and sealed. Check weather stripping for damage and replace if necessary. Verify the trickle vent is not fully blocked.

Locking mechanism is difficult to operate

Ensure no part of the frame or sash is preventing movement. Check for debris in the locking points. If problems persist, professional adjustment may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation reduces heating costs.
  • Enhanced security features for peace of mind.
  • Low maintenance PVCu construction.
  • Improved indoor air quality through trickle ventilation.
  • Modern aesthetic with obscure glass for privacy.

Cons

  • The integrated cill increases the overall product height.
  • Triple glazing can add slightly more weight than standard windows.
  • Obscure glass may reduce natural light slightly compared to clear glass.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This window is supplied ready to fit, including a handle, PVC cill, and glazing packers. Ensure the rough opening is correctly measured and prepared to accommodate the window unit and its external cill. Follow standard window installation practices, ensuring a plumb and level fit, and proper sealing to maintain thermal and weather performance. Remember that the cill is included in the overall height measurement.

Compatibility:

Designed for standard PVCu window frames. The right-hand side hung opening mechanism should be confirmed against the intended installation location. Compatibility with existing window opening sizes should be verified before purchase.

Care:

  • Frame: Clean the PVCu frame regularly with a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
  • Glass: Clean the obscure glass using a standard glass cleaner and a soft cloth or squeegee. For internal condensation between panes (rare in triple glazing), contact a professional.
  • Hardware: Periodically check the espag locking mechanism and hinges. Lubricate moving parts annually with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
