Doors, Windows & Architectural Hardware 31
Our Vertical Sliding windows are a design-classic which sympathetically captures many, if not all, of the key features of traditional design combined with all the benefits that a modern replacement window should offer. The finished result has upgraded the appearance of Foxhill, restoring its stunning heritage looks. It has also improved the thermal efficiency of the building and reduced maintenance requirements too. It is the perfect example of how our Spectus Vertical Slider can combine modern day benefits with heritage authenticity to deliver an outstanding end result. We are aware that planners and developers are increasingly stipulating design criteria when it comes to windows. We’re also aware of the trend towards fully mechanically jointed products for premium installations which is why our PVC-U vertical sliding range offers a wealth of added-value features. There is a mechanically jointed deep bottom rail and equal sightlines for the top and bottom sashes for beautiful authenticity. Customers can choose moulded or run through horns depending on the style of their property, there is a choice of cill depths and glazing options in the form of Georgian glazing bars or the more common astragal bar, which has mitred joints to enhance the heritage appearance. For modern day practicality, there are tilt in options for easy cleaning and child restrictors for peace of mind. For new build projects there is a Secured by Design option which has extra built in security features with no compromise on the heritage looks. Our Vertical Sliding Windows come in a complete range of foiled and spray colour options, including dual colour. (Our
VS even has a foil on white option where specialist inserts in the spring chambers maintain a one colour appearance from the outside for ultimate kerb appeal.) The foil options mean the windows can truly replicate the colour appearance of original timber windows, where paint is so often used. Heritage-style windows are a niche product in a niche sector, so it’s important to do your homework so you get it right. When you work with a specialist fabricator you have the added reassurance of working with an expert.
