We supply FIVE types of uPVC windows as standard, Casement Windows, Tilt and Turn Fire Escape Windows, Fully Reversible Windows and Sliding Sash Windows.
Casement windows are the most common uPVC windows asked for because the frame and sash part of the window are manufactured from the thinnest profiles therfore giving the most light. We supply these frames in 60mm or 70mm and they come in our four main colours as standard, with white inside as an alternative. Casement windows open outwards away from your dwelling which means they don't interfere with blinds and curtains. These windows are perfectly legal upstairs as long as they have EGRESS HINGES fitted, which act as a fire escape utility and a cleaning utility at the same time.
Casement Windows
Tilt and Turn Fire Escape Windows
Tilt and Turn fire escape windows are ideal for flats or any upstairs rooms as they can open in fully like a door for cleaning and also 'tilt' in for ventilation. A transom bar can also be incorporated into the sash to allow for stained of bevelled glass to be fitted to the top part, this also gives the effect of the traditional sash windows especially when the windows all tall. Tilt and turn windows have locks all the way round the frame (depending on the size, smaller windows may only have 2 or 3 sides) and have a locking handle which can be locked in the tilt position. Tilt and turns also come in 60mm or 70mm.
uPVC Vertical Sliders
Vertical Sliding Sash windows has a very simple operation of 2 sashes within an outerframe that work independently of each other, on balance springs, designed to hold them at any height with an ingenous design feature allowing the sashes to tilt from inside to facilitate safe and esy cleaning.
Fully Reversible Windows
Fully reversible windows are much the same idea as TILT and TURN windows as in they work as fire escapes and can also be cleaned from the inside. The diiference with these windows is that they swing round vertically from the bottom. These windows have size restictions.
Shaped Windows
Fotunatley as far as uPVC goes, like timber, all frames can be made to any shape or size you require. If you have any drawings or ideas for shaped frames just give us a call.
Bows and Bays
Bow windows and Bay windows are becoming more and more popular, because they can make your room look and feel bigger due to the internal cill being extended and the larger glass area of the glass part of the window. these windows can be made in modules of 3, 4 or 5 and can have side openers as well as top openers.
