Our range includes a variety of fixing systems to accommodate traditional
building practices and to comply with the latest Building Regulations.
All have been developed through close co-operation with house building
companies. Many of the problems inherent in other products have been addressed
leading to systems that are technically superior in terms of their ease
of use, reliability and performance.

The
subframe/cavity closer is built in by the bricklayer. It acts as a template
and automatically seals and insulates the cavity opening whilst providing
a d.p.c.
Pre-glazed
windows are either fitted from the inside.....
...
or the outside of the building. Special cleats secure the window to the
subframe. The integral gasket on the subframe creates a mechanical break
to water penetration.
Silicon
sealant is used to seal the window to the brickwork. Each window can be
fitted in just a few minutes.
