FAQs
What does 'LH Side Hung' mean?
'LH' stands for Left Hand, meaning the window opens outwards from the left side when viewed from the exterior. It's a side-hung casement window.
Is the cill included in the dimensions 610 x 1190mm?
Yes, the overall product height of 1190mm includes the white PVC cill.
How do I maintain the black and white frame?
Clean the PVCu frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Regular cleaning will keep the finish looking its best.
What is 'trickle ventilation'?
Trickle ventilation provides a small, continuous flow of fresh air into the room, even when the window is closed, helping to reduce condensation and improve air quality without significant heat loss.
Can this window be installed in any type of wall?
The window is designed for standard wall openings. For specific wall types or renovations, professional assessment is recommended to ensure proper and secure fitting.
What is the benefit of 'espag locking'?
Espagnolette (espag) locking is a multi-point locking system that enhances security by securing the window at multiple points around the frame, providing a tighter seal and greater resistance to forced entry.
Does the window come pre-assembled?
The window unit will be delivered with the frame, glazing, and essential hardware like the handle and cill. Some final assembly or fitting of hardware may be required during installation, following manufacturer instructions.
Troubleshooting
Window is difficult to open or close
Check for obstructions around the frame and opening. Ensure the espag locking mechanism is fully disengaged. Lubricate the locking mechanism with a silicone-based spray.
Condensation appears on the glass
Minor condensation between panes may indicate a seal failure, requiring replacement. Surface condensation (inside or outside) is often due to high indoor humidity or temperature differences; ensure trickle vents are open and consider improving room ventilation.
Espag locking mechanism feels stiff
Clean any dust or debris from the locking points and mechanism. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts. If stiffness persists, professional inspection may be needed.
Trickle vents are blocked
Gently clear any dust, insects, or debris from the trickle vents using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment. Ensure they are not obstructed from the inside or outside.
