Construction
Hybrid Fixed Lights are constructed using mitred joints on both the aluminium and the timber frames. Using a mechanical corner joint on the aluminium and patented dovetail keys on the timber enables the frames to be constructed without the need for complicated production processes. Integral transoms and mullions are inserted by scribing the ends and screw fix to the frame.
They can be constructed with a number of opening light configurations from the Casement, Tilt and Turn and the Reversible Flush Casement range.
Testing
The Hybrid Reversible Flush Casement Window has been tested in accordance with BS6375 Part 1: 2004 (performance of windows and doors - classification of weathertightness and guidance on selection and specification).
Test reports for individual window configurations are available on request.
Separate figures are available for Thermal U-values depending on type of window configuration, frame and glazing material.
