FAQs

What does RH Side Hung and Top Opener mean?

RH stands for Right Hand, meaning the hinges are on the right side when viewed from the outside. The top opener indicates that the window sash opens outwards from the top.

What is the U-value and why is it important?

The U-value measures how well a window insulates. A lower U-value (like 1.4 W/m²K for this window) indicates better insulation, meaning less heat is lost, leading to energy savings and a more comfortable home.

What is trickle ventilation?

Trickle ventilation provides a small, continuous amount of airflow through vents, usually located at the top of the window. It helps improve indoor air quality by allowing stale air to escape and fresh air to enter, without significant heat loss or security compromise.

Does this window come with installation instructions?

While it includes necessary accessories for installation such as a handle, PVC cill, and glazing packers, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure proper fitting and performance.

How do I clean the PVC frame?

Clean the PVC frame using a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Can the handle be replaced if it gets damaged?

Yes, the handle is a standard component. However, for optimal security and frame integrity, it's advisable to use a compatible replacement handle and ensure it's fitted correctly, ideally by a professional.

What is the warranty period for this window?

Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's specific warranty documentation for details on the warranty period and coverage for this product.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check that the espag locking mechanism is fully disengaged. Ensure no obstructions are present. If the issue persists, the hinges or locking points may need adjustment by a professional.

Condensation on the glass

Some condensation is normal, especially in humid conditions or during temperature changes. Ensure trickle vents are open and clear. If condensation appears between the glass panes, the seal may be compromised, and the unit may need replacement.

Drafts or air leaks

Verify that the window is fully closed and locked. Check that the frame is securely fitted and sealed against the wall. Examine the weather seals for damage or wear. Professional adjustment or re-sealing may be required.

Locking mechanism is stiff

Ensure the handle is in the fully open or closed position when attempting to lock/unlock. Lubricate the espag rods and keep points with a silicone-based lubricant. Avoid forcing the handle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances natural light in rooms.
  • High energy efficiency (A-rated, U-value 1.4 W/m²K) leading to potential cost savings.
  • Improved security with espag locking system.
  • Provides controlled ventilation for better air quality.
  • Includes essential installation accessories.
  • Modern black finish complements contemporary homes.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for optimal performance and warranty compliance.
  • Specific RH side-hung and top-opening configuration may not suit all room layouts or preferences.
  • Double glazing may not offer the same level of sound insulation as triple glazing.
  • The white handle might contrast with the black frame for some aesthetic preferences.
  • Product handings are viewed from the outside, requiring careful consideration during ordering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This window is designed for installation with included components like the handle, PVC cill, and glazing packers. However, due to the importance of proper sealing and structural integrity for energy efficiency and security, professional installation is strongly recommended. Ensure the opening is correctly measured and prepared according to standard building practices.

Compatibility: The window is suitable for standard wall openings where the dimensions (1190mm width x 1040mm height including cill) are appropriate. It is designed for use in residential properties. All handings are viewed from the exterior of the building, so ensure the RH (Right Hand) configuration suits your needs.

Care: To maintain the appearance and function of your window:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the glass with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Wipe the PVC frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
  2. Hardware: Periodically check the espag locking mechanism and hinges. Lubricate moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary, ensuring smooth operation.
  3. Ventilation Channels: Keep the trickle ventilation slots clear of debris, dust, or blockages to ensure proper airflow.
