Pivot windows

Cleaning windows in high rise buildings can be difficult unless they are fitted with a pivot system. The pivot allows the window to be rotated around the central axis so that the outer glass pane can be cleaned from inside the building.

The system allows large windows to be created and installed letting in plenty of light. A safety latch stops the window being opened too far initially to prevent children and pets from falling. The windows incorporate a draft free ventilation option.

High rise buildings can create a sense of being shut in and removed from the world. uPVC allows large windows to be installed which can have the effect of bringing the outside world into the building. The better people feel about being in a high rise building the happier they will be.

FENSA regulations

All glass windows and doors conform to FENSA regulations. At ASPECT Windows and Doors we use Pilkington K Glass™ and Planitherm Glass™.

Energy efficiency

The cost of energy has shot up recently so any way in which energy can be saved is a good thing. New regulations have been introduced in the UK to control the requirements for energy efficiency. Energy ratings are now required when buying ans selling a house and the glass used in windows and doors plays an important role. Heat loss through glass is usually expressed as the 'U' value. Windows and doors which include glass with lower U values can help the energy saving capacity of a property.
