Colin Carthy of Ted Carthy
comments "the windows
were used for two main
reasons, firstly, they look
great and underline the
overall quality & character
to the house, which is a
really desirable residence.

Secondly, they are so
easy to live with. We all
know that PVC-U windows
require little in the way
of maintenance, but these
windows have other features
that make them desirable.

For example, both of the sashes can be tilted back for cleaning or to provide extra
ventilation. Sliding sashes are also good for meeting Part B egress, depending, of
course, on the overall size of the window. The opening sash slides completely out
of the way so there is no obstruction."

Whilst on the subject of Building Regulation it is worth noting that Spectus Vertical
Sliding Windows have been "hot box" tested and the results conclusively show that
the requirements of Approved Document L can be fully met.

Colin concludes "The owners of this house have spent a lot of time getting the
design right, and to a very high standard. It was great to be able to offer them a
beautifully designed alternative to a standard casement window."
