FAQs
What is the U-value of this window?
The window has an overall U-value of 1.4 W/m2K, indicating its high energy efficiency.
How do I determine if I need a Left Hand (LH) or Right Hand (RH) opening window?
The handing (LH or RH) is determined by viewing the window from the outside. If the hinges are on the left and the handle on the right when looking from outside, it is a Left Hand opening window. Conversely, if hinges are on the right and the handle on the left, it is a Right Hand opening window.
Can I fully open this window for maximum ventilation?
This window features a fixed centre pane. While it has trickle ventilation for continuous airflow and the side hung element opens, it does not offer full casement-style opening for maximum ventilation from the centre.
What is included with the window for installation?
Each window comes complete with a handle, a PVC cill, and glazing packers to assist with a straightforward installation.
How should I clean the black frame?
Clean the black PVC frame with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Is argon gas beneficial for the double glazing?
Yes, argon gas is denser than air and is used between the glass panes to improve thermal insulation and reduce heat transfer, contributing to the window's energy efficiency.
What kind of locking system does this window have?
The window is equipped with a secure espag locking system, which provides enhanced security and includes a night vent position for controlled ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Window is difficult to open or close
Check for any obstructions in the frame or locking mechanism. Ensure the espag handle is fully engaged. If the issue persists, professional adjustment may be needed.
Condensation between panes
This indicates a failure in the sealed unit. The sealed glazing unit will need to be replaced by a professional.
Drafts or air leaks
Check seals around the frame and ensure the window is properly secured in the opening. Re-sealing may be necessary. Confirm trickle vents are not fully blocked.
Locking mechanism feels stiff
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the espag mechanism and moving parts of the lock. Operate the handle several times to distribute the lubricant.
