clean hinges are designed to make the cleaning of outside windows safer and
easier. With no awkward catches or buttons the simple action of opening the

cleaning the window the hinge remains safe and stable due to a design feature
that locks the two sliding mechanisms. It is manufactured from hard wearing
stainless steel and has excellent load bearing characteristics.

break. When it breaks, it breaks into small pieces of glass that are harmless
just like the glass of your car. 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

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

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.
