It is manufactured from hard wearing stainless steel and has excellent load bearing characteristics.

It is a legal requirement that the toughened safety glass must be fitted in all the doors. This legal requirement also applies for the windows that are less than 800mm from the floor level in height. All the door side panels and windows next to the door should have toughened glass as well.

Do you know how to measure windows accurately according to the criteria set by Certass and Fensa?
My answer is YES! It is important to take the measurements 3 times. The first measurement from top, second from middle and the third from the bottom of the window. When measuring the width of the window and same principle applies while measuring the height of the window.
1) Upvc windows should be deducted 10mm from the height and width if the size is less than 1.5m.
2) Upvc coloured windows should be deducted 15mm from the height and width of the structural opening.
3) The same principle applies for the aluminium windows as well. Frequently Asked Double Glazing Questions Southall Windows

What are the dummies or “equal sight-line”? 
In a normal window with one top opening and side opening, it is normal that smaller glass will be fitted in the opening(vents) compare to the fixed where the glass area will be larger. This creates an unequal site line. 
Especially when you buy windows with Georgian or lead design I recommend you to buy dummy windows so that from outside, your windows will look symmetric.
