Because our windows and doors are hand made to order, we work with you to ensure you get the desired performance characteristics for your specific project.
Our Stormproof, or flush casement windows can also utilise mushroom bolts and/or shootbolts. Our standard espagnolette locking systems have achieved more than 7.4Kn which is more than double the requirements of BS7950. They have also been endurance tested to 40,000 operations and have been salt spray tested for 500 hours by the BBA.
We utilise the benefits of two different friction stays in our timber flush casement window range. All our top hung windows and side-hung egress windows use a hinge that is manufactured in the UK and available as austenetic for enhanced corrosion resistance. For our heavier side hung sashes, we use a heavy duty hinge ensuring that the product will perform for many years to come.
Our internal design team are able to tailor our product to suit the most extreme exposures. Our timber windows benefit from a full dry gasket glazing system available as externally or internally beaded. The dry gasket glazing system ensures any moisture penetrating the external glazing seals has an escape route and therefore eliminates standing water from the rebate, significantly reducing the risk of rot, warping etc.
We can design an manufacture to any Uvalue specification required and our close links with Buildcheck allow us to quickly simulate both whole frame u-values and window energy ratings should projects require this. All our timber windows come with full CE markings and declaration of conformity.
