UPVC
Sliding Sash Windows UK > Sash Window Technical Information
FRAME
SPECIFICATION
These
uPVC profiles are manufactured to the highest standards and are
capable of:
• withstanding
cold weather
• UV light resistant to maintain colour and appearance and
prevent the uPVC profile from degrading, bending or warping over
the years. |
|
Designed
to provide optimum strength, superior thermal properties and
excellent weathering performance they will retain their pristine
appearance year after year with minimum of maintenance. Suitable
for commercial or domestic buildings, in both replacement and
new build markets. |
|
Configuration:-
The front to back dimension of the sash
is 52mm, outer frame is 128mm and cill (built-in) options are
210mm or 150mm. Available in two profile options 'Standard
configuration' and the 'Heavy duty configuration'.
Size
limitations:-
Maximum
recommended size for standard configuration are up to 1600mm
wide and upto 3000mm high. For Heavy duty configuration upto
1700mm wide and upto 3000mm high, using sash VS04 with
aluminium interlock.
|
REINFORCING
|
All outer
frames are fully reinforced with aluminium, the sashes are fully
reinforced with galvanised steel.
Structural
strength is enhanced through the use of steel or aluminium
reinforcement through the internal chambers of the profile and
to further increase stability and strength all fixings and
hardware are secured to the reinforcement. The vertical slider
also has an aluminium interlock for the top sash which increases
the rigidity of larger windows |
HARDWARE
& FITTINGS
|
Tilt
& Turn
Tilting sashes by the means of a pivot bar, allows the window to
tilt so that exterior glass can be cleaned from the inside, and
a soft damp cloth is all it takes to maintain the frame. Tilt
restrictors ensure the tilt mechanism works smoothly and safely.
Sash
horns
A Victorian innovation, they helped shed water from the sash and
covered the end grain of the wood preventing water penetration.
On our uPVC windows they are purely decorative.

Handles
& Locks
White, gold and chrome options available.
Trickle
vents
Ventilation vents can be applied in the frame or in the
sash, available incapacities of 2000 & 4000 (habital rooms
require capacity of 8000). |
GASKETS
& EQUAL SIGHT LINE
|
Equal
sight line
Fitted as standard, most uPVC windows have unequal sight-lines.
This is where the glass in the opening sections appears to be
smaller than the glass in the fixed part sections. To duplicate
the equal sight lines of the traditional sliding sash we have
created a special insert which is fitted to the non opening
section to reduce its width to match that of the opening sash.
Thus a more aesthetic appearance is obtained. |
|
Low
Line gaskets / weatherseals
Fitted as standard, gives the window a clean look, as well as
improving long term weathering and thermal efficiency. |
