5. Damage free re-glazing In the event of glass breakage all our windows and doors can be re-glazed without damage to the surrounding window frame - no need even to re-paint! 6. Neat, coloured silicone seals Purpose-made grooves are provided internally and externally to receive the silicone necessary to protect against water ingress. Appropriate coloured or clear silicone is factory applied to guarantee a perfect, unobtrusive seal. 7. Rebated glazing beads eliminate unsightly gaps between the frame and bead In conventional timber systems paint is prone to cracking at the point where the bead meets the window frame. By rebating the glazing bead over the sash we conceal the joint and guard against these unattractive lines. 8. Warm edge spacer bars Low conductivity spacer bars further help to minimise heat loss and combat condensation levels on the inner pane. 9. Fully draught stripped 10. Drainage and ventilation channels help prevent double glazing from misting Drainage and ventilation channels protect against the failure of double glazed units which occurs in conventional systems when glazing units are allowed to sit in water that has become trapped within the frame. 11. Multi-layer timber sections with opposing grains, balances warping and combats twisting The use of multi-layer timber is long established in Britain for long span timber structures in demanding environments such as swimming pools and bridges. In common use on the continent, but very rare in Britain is its use for window and door sections. This multi-layer structure is particularly effective in resisting warping and twisting as the opposing grains even out natural moisture movement. It is the twisting of timber during wet weather, more than the swelling itself, which causes windows and doors to stick. Multi-layer timber sections are used as standard throughout our range. | |||||||||
