uPVC Sliding Sash Windows White, Light Oak or Rosewood uPVC 128mm Frame Thickness Steel Reinforced for Maximum Strength Astragal Bar & Horns for additional character Compliant with Part L Double glazed toughened safety glass Internally glazed for added security White, Gold or Chrome Fittings External Cill 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. Frame 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.

Light Oak UPVC Profile		Rosewood UPVC Profile

Designed by Spectus Systems our Vertical Sliding Sash Window provides all the benefits that can be derived from high performance modern materials. Providing a long term, cost effective solution for period style properties.

The PVCu window frames have been designed to provide optimum strength, superior thermal properties and excellent weathering performance whilst retaining their pristine appearance year after year with the minimum of maintenance.

Manufactured from a formulation which includes a high impact modifier to withstand cold weather and a UV light resistant pigment to maintain colour and appearance for years to come, the profile will not degrade, bend or warp.

Structural strength is enhanced through the use of steel or aluminium reinforcement through the internal chambers of the profile. To further increase stability and strength all fixings and hardware are secured to this reinforcement.

Thermal properties are improved by the use of 24mm glazing as standard and excellent weathering performance is improved with a Pile Seal detail on the sash edges and outer frame. All our glass units are sourced from approved suppliers, audited to BS EN ISO 9001 quality standards.

The units are manufactured and tested to BS EN 1279 and all toughened units are manufactured and tested to BS 6206.

Air flow specification can be achieved through the use of trickle or glazed in vents to suit particular applications as required.

Our windows are supplied with tilting sashes as standard to allow for ease of cleaning, with tilt restrictors to ensure the mechanism works smoothly and safely. Optional extras include decorative horns, deep bottom rail and travel restrictors for both sashes.

Decorative features are further enhanced by the use of ovolo shaped beads, equal sightlines and a range of decorative Georgian fret and authentic traditional Georgian bar options. For those who prefer a true timber appearance, the window is available in mahogany, rosewood or light oak options. Or with a timber appearance to the outside face with a white finish inside, to maintain a light airy appearance to the interior.
