Sliding Sash Glazing
        
        
Vertical Slider - Frame Specifications
Profile configuration

With Low Line (concealed) gaskets fitted to all our vertical sliding windows as standard, you truly can see clearly, more of what you want and less of what you don't.

And with ‘Low E’ glass fitted as standard they are also energy efficient too.

Scroll through our Glass specifications to explore the options available to you:-

  • laminated or toughened (for security & safety)
  • bevelled or stained (to your own designs)
  • lead square or diamond, Georgian Bar and Obscure Patterns (for style & privacy)
  • and Argon filled units for extra insulation properties (available in conjunction with any glazing application).
  • Laminated Glass Illustration Laminated Glass

    Capable of withstanding an attack.

    Piles of glass are bonded - or laminated - together with a layer of polymer film (PVB) in between. By using heat and pressure, air bubbles are eliminated from the laminate (in equipment called an Autoclave) so that it appears optically as a single sheet.

    Toughened Glass Shattered Toughened Glass

    Used for areas in need of extra safety & security, glazed doors and glazing adjacent to doors as standard. Float glass is heated to about 650C in a furnace, then quenced with air jets so that the surfaces are cooled quickly and the inside core more slowly with the surfaces going into 'compression' and the core going into 'tension'.
