CASEMENT: WINDOWS
Gowercroft are able to design and manufacture a wide range of high performance casement windows. Usually side hung on friction hinges, our casement windows are externally beaded and have a decorative internal mould on both sash and frame to offer a more aesthetically-pleasing appearance.
Construction: All of our casement windows are manufactured from quality hardwood, or a timber to suit your specification. We use finger and comb jointing, combined with D4 grade PVA glue to increase the strength of the joints.
Every exposed edge is fully end-grain sealed, or painted. With moisture levels in the wood maintained at a stable and even level; there is less expansion and contraction, and a reduction in cracking and cupping. This can lead to a significant increase in service life.
Glazing: We use SGG Planitherm glass units as standard in our products. This family of glass units offers the lowest emissivity and the clearest glass in the industry. Our standard units also include Argon-filled double glazing cavity and warm-edge spacer bonded bars. These units will offer you significant financial savings over the existing units in your home.
Our drained and vented glazing system prevents water build-up in the rebate and gives the glazing units the best chance of a long service life. Without this system, glazing units are likely to fail in increasing quantities and require replacing.
The glazing system has timber beads fitted all round for enhanced appearance and performance. All our glazing is installed using high performance security glazing tape.
Decoration: Our products are fully-factory finished units, using a triple coat, water-based paint system; they arrive on site ready for a quick and easy installation. There is no need to paint in situ; reducing disruption and increasing the overall quality of the finish.
Our triple-coat paint system produces a more uniform application, a more durable coating, and a superior finish quality. We exclusively use water-based paints and finishes, as these coatings have a number of clear benefits over traditional solvent-based paints.
We have numerous options for ironmongery and finishes on your items. This includes split-colour finishing and various moulding types.
Options: We offer a choice of side, top or bottom-hung sashes using storm-proof, traditional, butt, or friction hinges - which can also be fitted with a fire escape facility if required.
Security: Featuring Siegenia high security multi-point locking systems and with an optional integral restrictor, our range of windows offers a strong and effective deterrent to any would-be burglar or vandal.
A night vent position on the sash is fitted as standard. This allows the window to be securely locked, but still allow ventilation. This increases security and reduces the risk of accidents with children or pets.
