Crystal Double Glazed Window - Agate/White

It refers to the way the window opens. 'LH' signifies the hinge is on the left when viewed from the outside. 'Side Hung' means the window opens outwards from the side hinge, like a door. 'Top Opener' means there is an additional opening mechanism at the top of the sash, allowing it to tilt inwards from the top for ventilation.

Clean the glass with a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the glass.

Argon gas is denser than air and is used between the panes of glass in double glazing to improve thermal insulation. It reduces heat transfer, helping to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, thus improving energy efficiency.

A Warm Edge spacer bar is used around the perimeter of the glass unit. It is made from less conductive materials than traditional metal spacers, reducing heat loss at the edges of the glass and minimizing condensation.

While the window includes necessary components like a handle and cill, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper sealing, structural integrity, and optimal performance. Incorrect installation can lead to drafts, leaks, or reduced energy efficiency.

The night vent position allows the window to be locked securely while being slightly ajar. This provides a small opening for ventilation without compromising security significantly, ideal for use when sleeping on warmer nights.

Both the white handle and the PVC cill can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

Check for any obstructions or debris around the sash and frame. Ensure the Espag locking mechanism is fully disengaged. The frame may have settled; minor adjustments by a professional might be needed.

Verify that the window is fully closed and locked. Check the seals around the glass and frame for any damage or gaps. Ensure all included installation components (like packers) were correctly fitted during installation. Professional assessment may be required.

Minor condensation on the *outside* of the glass is normal and indicates good insulation. Persistent condensation *between* the panes suggests a seal failure, and the unit may need replacement.

Clean the locking points and mechanism. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the Espag system. Avoid using oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt.
