Use
Side guided windows are used in all types of buildings but primarily in multi-story structures where cleaning can only be achieved from the inside of the building.
Function
Side guided windows are fitted with sliding hinges, which allow easy access from the structure unlike the traditional hinged jamb. Sashes between 300-449 mm width opens 85°, and between 450-838 mm width opens 60°. The gap created allows cleaning from inside of the building. The sash is held shut by a single handle that operates a multi-locking point hook bolt system with a night vent position. Friction slides in the head and sill maintains the open position. A floating mullion is available on windows used in pairs for maximum opening widths, the master leaf is operated by a handle and the slave leaf is held by flush bolts.
