French Windows
A French window has all the same great features as our casement windows, with the added dimension of extra light and space.
These windows give you a much bigger opening area, and can be an elegant solution to meet fire escape regulations in situations you would otherwise require a large opening window sash.
Every French window is manufactured to the highest standard, using top quality components which are subject to rigorous quality checks throughout the manufacturing process.
Roller Bolts & Shoot Bolts
Roller Bolts contract to lock the sash into the opposing keep. Raising the handle by 90° expands the bolts to release from the keep. The upper and low parts of the locking mechanism contain not only a roller bolt but also shoot bolts that locate in the keeps mounted on the frame. The combined shoot bolts and roller bolts offer 6-point locking.
Easy Clean Hinges
The hinges not only enable a full 90° opening, but when opened, will slide the sash across to allow access to the outer sash from indoors. Security can be enhanced even further by optional hinge bolts.

Window Handle Options
We offer a wide selection of window handles from push button through to traditional monkey tail and tear drop designs to enhance your window design. A selection are displayed at our showroom in Weybridge. Our window handle variations include, cranked and tilt & turn, some of which can be previewed below. Our representatives can talk you through the various options and advise which are suitable for your window replacement.
Extra Security
Our windows have been tested to meet the exacting PAS24:2012 standard. They can be specified with six point locking & twin bi-directional cams, which prevent jemmying.
Our optional shootbolt locking system and anti-intrusion hinge bolts can be added to aid your security to ensure both sides of the window are equally protected from attack. These prevent the window being forced outward on the hinge side, so you can rest safe in the knowledge that your home is well protected and far more secure than with older style locking and handle options.
