FAQs

What does 'LH Side Hung' mean?

'LH' stands for Left Hand, meaning the opening casement of the window is hinged on the left side and swings outwards. This configuration is viewed from the outside of the property.

Is the obscure glass suitable for all rooms?

The obscure glass is primarily designed for privacy in areas like bathrooms and utility rooms. While it allows light, it obscures the view, which may not be desired in living areas or bedrooms.

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 indicates better insulation. This window's U value of 1.4 W/m2K signifies high energy efficiency, helping to reduce heating costs.

Does the window come pre-assembled?

The window unit includes the frame, glazing, espag locking system, handle, PVC cill, and glazing packers. It is ready for installation into a prepared opening.

How do I measure for this window?

The dimensions provided (905 x 965mm) are the overall size of the window unit, including the cill. Ensure your opening is slightly larger to accommodate the frame and allow for secure fixing and sealing.

What is the 'night vent' position?

The night vent position allows the window to be locked open slightly, providing limited ventilation while maintaining a secure position, ideal for overnight or low-traffic periods.

Can I replace just the glass unit if it breaks?

Yes, the glass unit is typically replaceable. However, due to the specific nature of the double-glazed unit with Low E glass and argon fill, it's advisable to order a replacement unit from the manufacturer or a specialist supplier.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check for obstructions around the frame and sash. Ensure the espag locking mechanism is fully engaged/disengaged. If persistent, the hinges or mechanism may need adjustment or lubrication.

Drafts or air leaks around the window

Verify that the window is properly sealed against the frame. Check the condition of the gaskets and seals. Ensure the window is correctly installed and the frame is plumb and level.

Condensation on the glass

Condensation on the *outside* or *inside* surface is often due to high humidity and normal temperature differences. Condensation *between* the glass panes indicates a seal failure, and the glazing unit may need replacement.

Locking mechanism is stiff

Clean the locking mechanism and apply a silicone-based lubricant. Ensure no debris is preventing full movement. Check alignment of the keeps on the frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy efficiency (A-rated glazing)
  • Enhanced security with espag locking system
  • Provides privacy while allowing natural light
  • Easy installation with included accessories
  • Improved indoor air quality through trickle ventilation
  • Durable PVCu construction

Cons

  • Handing viewed from the outside requires careful selection
  • Fixed panel limits ventilation options on one side
  • May require professional installation for optimal fit and function
  • Specific dimensions (905 x 965mm) may not fit all openings
  • Obscure glass may not be suitable for all room aesthetics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This window comes with essential components for installation, including a white handle, PVC cill, and glazing packers. Ensure the opening is correctly measured to fit the 905 x 965mm dimensions. Proper sealing and fixing are crucial for optimal performance and weather resistance. It is recommended to consult professional installation guidelines or hire a qualified installer.

Compatibility:

Designed as a standard double-glazed unit, it is compatible with most modern building regulations. The LH (Left Hand) configuration refers to the opening casement being on the left when viewed from the exterior. Ensure this configuration matches your requirements before installation.

Care:

Clean the PVCu frame and glass regularly using a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface. Ensure the espag locking mechanism and hinges are kept free from dirt and debris; occasional lubrication with a silicone-based spray can help maintain smooth operation.
