Product Information

Full details

This Crystal Top Hung Over Fixed Window in Black is designed for homeowners seeking improved energy efficiency and natural light with a modern aesthetic. Its key benefit is excellent insulation, leading to potential energy savings. A minor caveat is its top-hung-over-fixed configuration, which may limit ventilation options compared to fully openable windows. This window features clear double glazing with a low E coating, argon gas, and a Warm Edge spacer for A-rated performance. It includes espag locking, trickle ventilation, a white handle, and a PVC cill for straightforward installation.

FAQs

What is the U value of this window?

The overall U value for this window is 1.4 W/m2K, indicating good thermal insulation.

What does 'Top Hung Over Fixed' mean?

This describes the window's configuration: a section that opens at the top (top hung) is positioned above a section that remains permanently fixed and does not open. This allows for ventilation through the top hung section.

Can the handle be changed?

The window comes with a white handle. While hardware can sometimes be replaced, it's best to consult with the manufacturer or a professional installer regarding compatibility and warranty implications before attempting to change it.

What materials are used in the glazing unit?

The glazing unit is double-glazed, featuring clear glazing, a high-performance low E coating, argon gas fill, and a Warm Edge spacer bar.

Does this window provide good security?

Yes, it features espag locking and a night vent position, which enhances security while allowing for ventilation.

How do I clean the window?

Clean the glass and frame with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is installation included?

The product information states it comes complete with glazing packers for easy fitting, but professional installation is recommended. Installation services are typically separate from the product purchase.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Check for any obstructions around the sash or frame. Ensure the espag locking mechanism is fully disengaged before attempting to operate the window. If persistent, check if the frame has settled or if hardware needs adjustment (professional assistance may be required).

Condensation appearing on the glass.

Minor condensation on the exterior pane is normal in certain weather conditions. Internal condensation, especially between panes, may indicate a seal failure. Contact the manufacturer or installer.

Espag lock is stiff or not engaging.

Clean and lubricate the espag mechanism with a silicone-based lubricant. Ensure the keeps on the frame are properly aligned with the mushroom cams on the sash. If the issue persists, the mechanism may require adjustment or replacement by a professional.

Visible drafts or air leakage.

Check the seals around the frame and sash for damage or wear. Ensure the window is properly secured and that any gaps between the window frame and the wall opening are adequately sealed (this is typically done during installation).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This window is designed for straightforward installation and comes complete with glazing packers. Ensure the opening is correctly measured and prepared according to standard building practices for window installation. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper sealing and structural integrity.

Compatibility: The window's fixed dimensions and top-hung opening mechanism are suited for standard wall openings. Compatibility with existing frames will depend on precise measurements and fitting techniques. The black frame, white handle, and PVC cill offer a neutral aesthetic that integrates well with various exterior finishes.

Care: Clean the glass and frame regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. Periodically check the locking mechanism and seals for wear and tear, and ensure the espag system operates smoothly. Ensure the trickle vents are clear of obstructions.
