Product Information

Full details

This Crystal Double Glazed Window in Black is ideal for homeowners seeking to improve energy efficiency and natural light. Its key benefit is an A-rated performance with a low U-value, contributing to reduced energy bills. A potential consideration is the fixed centre design which limits full opening options. It features advanced glazing for thermal insulation, secure locking mechanisms, and integrated ventilation for a comfortable and secure home environment.

FAQs

What does A-rated performance mean for this window?

A-rated performance means the window meets high standards for energy efficiency, specifically achieving a U Value of 1.4 W/m2K. This indicates low heat loss, helping to reduce energy bills and improve comfort.

How do I determine if I need a left or right-hand opening window?

The handing is determined by viewing the window from the outside. A right-hand opening window will have its handle on the right and the hinges on the left when viewed from the exterior.

Can I install this window myself?

While technically possible, professional installation by a qualified tradesperson is strongly recommended to ensure proper sealing, structural integrity, and optimal performance. Incorrect installation can lead to drafts, water ingress, and reduced efficiency.

What is trickle ventilation?

Trickle ventilation provides a small, continuous opening that allows for controlled airflow into the room. This helps maintain air quality, reduce condensation, and prevent stuffiness without compromising security or significant heat loss.

How often should I maintain the window hardware?

It is recommended to check and lubricate the espag locking mechanism and hinges annually using a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation and longevity.

What is the U Value, and why is it important?

The U Value measures how effectively a window prevents heat transfer. A lower U Value (like 1.4 W/m2K) indicates better insulation and energy efficiency, meaning less heat escapes from your home in winter and less heat enters in summer.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Check for obstructions in the frame or track. Ensure the espag locking mechanism is fully disengaged. Lubricate hinges and moving parts with a silicone-based spray.

Condensation appears between the glass panes.

This indicates a seal failure in the double-glazed unit. The unit may need to be replaced by a professional.

Drafts are noticeable around the window.

Inspect the window seals and ensure the frame is properly sealed to the wall opening. Check the locking mechanism is fully engaged. For persistent drafts, professional sealing may be required.

Locking mechanism is stiff or won't engage.

Clean and lubricate the espag mechanism. Ensure the keeps on the frame are aligned correctly with the locking points on the sash.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy efficiency with A-rated performance.
  • Enhanced security features for peace of mind.
  • Improved internal comfort through controlled ventilation.
  • Durable construction with quality materials.
  • Modern aesthetic with a black frame and white handle.

Cons

  • Fixed centre design may limit ventilation options compared to fully openable windows.
  • Requires professional installation for optimal performance and safety.
  • Black colour may absorb more heat in direct sunlight compared to lighter colours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Installation of the Crystal Double Glazed Window should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure proper sealing, structural integrity, and compliance with building regulations. The handing (left or right opening, viewed from the outside) must be confirmed before installation.

Compatibility: This window is designed for standard wall openings. Ensure the opening is correctly measured and prepared according to installation guidelines. Compatibility with existing building materials is generally high due to its standard design.

Care:

  1. Frame Cleaning: Wipe the black PVC frame with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
  2. Glass Cleaning: Use a standard glass cleaner and a soft cloth or squeegee to clean the double-glazed unit. Ensure no liquid enters the frame.
  3. Hardware Maintenance: Periodically check and lubricate the espag locking mechanism and hinges with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Wipe the white handle with a damp cloth.
