U.P.V.C. Tilt and Turn

The most popular U.P.V.C. window is the Tilt and Turn. It complies with all the Building and Health and Safety Regulations because it tilts inwards at the top for ventilation and also swings inwards, permitting safe access to the external faces of the window for cleaning.

U.P.V.C. Casement

Casement is the second most popular U.P.V.C. window, where the top hopper can open outwards and one or two of the bottom sashes open outwards. The hinges or stays fitted to this type of window allow the sash to open sufficiently to allow access through the back for cleaning the external surfaces.

U.P.V.C. Sash & Case

U.P.V.C. Sash and Case is used to a lesser extent, and is basically modelled on the traditional timber sash and case, except that the sashes are operated by spiral balances or springs. Problems can therefore arise with accessing the external surfaces for cleaning, depending on location.

U.P.V.C. Entry Doors

U.P.V.C. House Doors are normally fitted with new standards (frames) and come in numerous designs, in white or woodgrain.

U.P.V.C. Patio Doors - White or Woodgrain

U.P.V.C. Patio Doors come in two types - ordinary sliding, or tilt and slide for top opening ventilation. They are always double glazed with safety glass.

Note

Windows above ground floor must be cleanable externally from the inside. Building Regulations (Scotland) (P.2.3) and all windows must have opening sashes providing an opening area as a percentage of the floor area.

U.P.V.C. frames and doors should be cleaned occasionally, perhaps once a year, with simple detergent. Avoid chemical cleaners which can have a long term effect on the surfaces.
