Stormproof Wooden Windows For All Weather
Our stormproof wooden window range has been developed as a truly versatile window that can easily be adapted into many differing building types and weather extremes.
Stormproof Wooden Windows Specification
The specification below details our stormproof wooden window system. A range of cill, frame thickness, finish and ironmongery options are available together with your choice of sash option making this a highly bespoke product. Stormproof wooden windows are supplied with ovolo edged sashes (except where decorative horns are required) and ovolo beads as standard. Square edged sashes, round beads and putty line beads are optional on written request.
Locking System:
- Utilising shootbolts, our standard espagnolette locking systems have achieved more than 7.4Kn - more than double the requirements of BS7950. They have also been endurance tested to 40,000 operations and have been salt spray tested for 500 hours by the BBA.
Friction Stays:
- We utilise the benefits of two different friction stays in our stormproof wooden window range. All our top-hung windows and side-hung egress windows use a hinge that is manufactured in the UK and available as austenetic for enhanced corrosion resistance. For our heavier side hung sashes, we use a heavy duty hinge ensuring that the product will perform for many years to come.
Drainage:
- Farrar Joinery Manufactures’ wooden windows are dry gasket glazed, with either sloped or concealed drainage systems. This ensures any moisture that penetrates the external glazing seals has an escape route and therefore eliminates standing water from the rebate thus significantly reducing the risk of rot, warping etc.
Energy Efficiency:
- We are currently able to offer our customers the most efficient products available under this scheme - an "A" rating. This is available on the innovative Accoya timber species.
