Product Information

Full details

This Lacerta Triple Glazed Window is designed for homeowners seeking enhanced energy efficiency and privacy. Its key benefit is superior insulation, provided by a triple-glazed unit with argon gas and a U-Value of 1.0 W/m2K, reducing heating costs. A potential caveat is its specific size (905 x 965mm) and left-hand opening, which may require careful measurement and planning during installation. This window features a black PVCu frame, espag locking for security, trickle ventilation for air quality, and includes a handle, PVC cill, and glazing packers for ease of installation.

FAQs

What is the U-Value of this window?

The Lacerta Triple Glazed Window has a U-Value of 1.0 W/m2K, indicating excellent thermal insulation properties.

What does 'Left Hand Side Hung' mean?

This refers to the direction the window opens. When viewed from the outside, the hinges are on the left side, and the window casement swings outwards from the right.

Is the cill included in the height measurement?

Yes, the overall product height of 965mm includes the PVC cill.

Can the obscure glass be replaced with clear glass?

This window is supplied with obscure glass for privacy. Replacing the glazing unit would require professional intervention and is not a standard user-serviceable modification.

How do I activate the night vent position?

The night vent position allows for two locked settings while still providing ventilation. This is typically achieved by turning the handle to a specific intermediate position when closing the window, engaging certain locking points while leaving a small gap for air.

What type of lubricant should I use for the espag lock?

A silicone-based lubricant is recommended for the espag locking mechanism and keeps to ensure smooth operation and prevent degradation of rubber seals.

What are glazing packers for?

Glazing packers are small shims used during installation to correctly position the glass unit within the frame, providing support and ensuring even pressure distribution.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check for obstructions around the frame or sash. Ensure the espag locking mechanism is fully disengaged. The locking points may require lubrication with a silicone-based lubricant. If the issue persists, the frame may have shifted and requires professional adjustment.

Drafts detected around the window

Verify that the window is correctly sealed within the opening. Check the condition of the gasket seals around the frame and sash for any damage or wear. Ensure the espag locking points are fully engaged. Professional inspection and re-sealing may be necessary.

Condensation on the glass

Internal condensation (on the room side) often indicates high indoor humidity. Use trickle vents to improve air circulation and consider using a dehumidifier. Condensation between the glass panes indicates a seal failure in the glazing unit, requiring the unit to be replaced.

Locking mechanism is stiff

Lubricate the moving parts of the espag lock and keep (the parts that engage with the lock) with a silicone-based lubricant. Ensure no paint or debris is obstructing the mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy efficiency due to triple glazing and argon fill, leading to lower heating bills.
  • Enhanced security features with the espag locking system and night vent option.
  • Improved indoor air quality through integrated trickle ventilation.
  • Privacy is maintained with the obscure glazed panel.
  • Comprehensive package including cill, handle, and packers simplifies installation.
  • Durable black PVCu frame requires minimal maintenance.

Cons

  • Fixed dimensions (905 x 965mm) may not fit all openings without adaptation.
  • Left-hand opening is specific and might not suit all desired configurations.
  • Obscure glass limits the view outward, which may be undesirable for some locations.
  • Triple glazing can be heavier, potentially requiring more robust handling during installation.
  • Requires professional installation for optimal performance and safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the rough opening is precisely measured to match the window's dimensions (905 x 965mm, including cill height). The window is supplied with a PVC cill, handle, and glazing packers. It is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified professional to ensure a secure, airtight, and weather-tight fit. Proper sealing and fixing methods are crucial for optimal performance and to comply with building regulations.

Compatibility: This window is designed for standard PVCu window frames. The left-hand opening configuration is fixed. Compatibility with existing brickwork or cladding will depend on standard window installation practices. The black PVCu finish is designed to be durable and long-lasting.

Care: The black PVCu frame is low maintenance. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. The espag locking mechanism and hinges should be lubricated annually with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Check trickle vents periodically to ensure they are clear of debris.
