Product Information

Full details

This Crystal RH Side Hung Next to a Fixed Obscure Double Glazed Window is ideal for homeowners seeking improved insulation, privacy, and security. Its key benefit is providing a high-performance, energy-efficient glazing solution with integrated security features. A potential caveat is that the right-hand opening may not suit all room layouts or preferences. The window features A-rated glazing, argon gas fill, low E coating, and a Warm Edge spacer for reduced heat loss, alongside espag locking with a night vent option and trickle ventilation for comfort and security.

FAQs

What does 'RH Side Hung' mean?

'RH' stands for Right Hand. 'Side Hung' means the window casement is hinged on the right side and opens outwards from the left.

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

The U-value measures how well a window prevents heat transfer. A lower U-value (like 1.4 W/m²K for this window) indicates better insulation, meaning less heat escapes in winter and enters in summer, leading to energy savings.

How do I clean the obscure glass?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching.

Can the window be opened fully, or does it have a restricted opening?

The window has a 'Side Hung' opening, which typically allows for a wide opening. It also features a 'Night Vent' position that offers a small, secure gap for ventilation while the window is locked.

What is 'Agate and White' referring to in the description?

This likely refers to the aesthetic design or pattern within the obscure glazing, possibly a mottled or textured effect in white, designed to enhance privacy while still allowing light diffusion.

Is installation included with this window?

The product description does not specify if installation is included. It is recommended to arrange professional installation separately.

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

Argon gas is denser than air and is used to fill the gap between the glass panes. It acts as an insulator, reducing heat transfer and improving the window's overall thermal performance.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Check for any obstructions in the frame or on the mechanism. Ensure the espag locking handle is fully engaged/disengaged. If the issue persists, the hinges or mechanism may need adjustment or lubrication.

Drafts or air leaks around the window.

Inspect the window seals for damage or wear. Ensure the window is properly closed and locked. If leaks persist, the window may require professional re-sealing or adjustment.

Condensation appears on the glass.

Check if the trickle ventilation is open and free from blockages. Condensation can also be caused by high humidity levels inside the room; improve ventilation by opening the window regularly or using extractor fans. If condensation is between the panes, the sealed unit may be compromised and require replacement.

Espag locking mechanism is stiff or not engaging.

Clean the locking points on the frame and the mushroom cams on the sash. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the mechanism. Ensure the sash is aligned correctly before attempting to lock.

  • Improves air quality with integrated trickle ventilation.
  • Designed for straightforward installation with included hardware.

Cons

  • The right-hand opening may not be suitable for all window placements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This window is designed with straightforward installation in mind, including pre-fitted components like a white handle, PVC cill, and glazing packers. However, due to the nature of window installation, it is recommended to be fitted by a qualified professional to ensure proper sealing, structural integrity, and compliance with building regulations. Ensure the opening is correctly prepared and sized according to the window's dimensions (1190 x 965mm).

Compatibility: The window is pre-configured with a right-hand opening casement next to a fixed obscure glazed panel. Compatibility should be assessed based on the specific wall opening, desired ventilation direction, and privacy requirements of the room. The white handle and cill offer a neutral aesthetic that complements most exterior finishes.

Care: To maintain the appearance and performance of your window:

  1. Frame and Cill: Clean the PVC frame and cill regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material.
  2. Glass: Clean the glass using a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth or squeegee. For the obscure glazed panel, ensure cleaning methods are gentle to avoid scratching.
  3. Hardware: Periodically check the espag locking mechanism and hinges for smooth operation. Lubricate moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Ensure the night vent and trickle vent are free from debris.
  4. Seals: Inspect the window seals for any signs of wear or damage and replace if necessary to maintain weatherproofing.
