Introducing the Yale Expede Window Bracket

» THE NEW YALE EXPEDE Window Bracket offers increased productivity and a faster installation once the timber panels have been erected on site as the window is simply pushed out to the required distance and the final fix inserted to permanently hold in this position . Both internal and external trades can start immediately , as the build will be watertight within one day . This can reduce the overall programme by approximately three weeks , as well as reducing site costs .
For the fabricator the cost of the additional brackets
adds to the value proposition and instantly increases their sales revenue , whilst creating significant savings for their house builder client .
Paul Atkinson , Managing Director at Yale , comments : “ The patented Yale Expede Window Bracket offers added value for window fabricators as they can fit fully glazed windows straight into the external timber wall panels at the factory .
“ With the fully glazed window in place , wet trades can get onsite earlier , and buildings are more secure from the outset . This in turn reduces the risk of accidents linked to manual handling and working at heights . Because the building is secured immediately when the timber frame is constructed , it reduces the risk
of theft and fire and may also reduce site insurance costs . It ’ s no wonder house builders are eagerly awaiting this new product .”
Of all the main building materials , timber is the most environmentally friendly , as it has the lowest energy consumption and the lowest carbon dioxide emissions .
As the window is transported while being protected within the external timber wall panel itself , it takes up no additional space on the lorry .
This means fewer miles clocked up in transit , less traffic and a reduced risk of damage to the window , reducing waste .
Manufactured and tested in the UK , the Yale Expede window bracket has been subjected to loading in excess of 200kg in the open position for over 72 hours and corrosion testing up to 240 hours , it is available in 50mm and 75mm variants and is covered by Yale ’ s Lifetime Guarantee .
