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 allow easy access from the structure unlike the traditional hinged jamb. The side guided hinges turn the sash through 108° drawing the hinge edge of the sash towards the middle of the frame. 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.
