as FlushSASH and SlimSASH, are a click or
two away.

specialist features direct from the Home page,
including Product choice and information,
their personal Customer Login, Door

VBH Adds Yale
Window Hinge
to Range
VBH has added the brand
new Yale Window Hinge to
its range of friction stays for
outward opening windows,
which already includes the
full selection of products from
Securistyle.
Available in both top hung
and side hung versions in all the
usual lengths, VBH advises that
the product provides excellent
weather sealing and draught
proofing performance thanks to
its extended enclosed end cap and
asymmetrical sash arm.
A lipped slider provides a
smooth operation and the friction
can be adjusted via a robust cam
friction device that eliminates the
risk of friction screw misuse.

Slotted fixing holes mean the
vent can be easily adjusted to
ensure perfect closing.
Most standard profiles are
catered for as the Standard
and Highline variants will suit
hinge cavities from 13 – 18mm,
meaning that the product is ideal
for PVCu, aluminium and storm
proof timber windows.
Yale Window Hinges are
manufactured using ferritic
stainless steel and are covered
by a Yale 10 Year Mechanical
Guarantee.

Hereford Glass featured on national
television after taking part in the latest
series of Channel 4’s Restoration Man.
Episode five of the current
series saw Marco and Kath
Walker embarking on a
challenging restoration of a
couple of Grade II listed 17th
and 18th century cow barns
in Wellington, Herefordshire
to turn them into a family
home.
As part of the property’s
transformation, the couple
rebuilt one end of the derelict
cow shed and installed a
glazed apex to house their new
master bedroom. All the glass
for the complex apex design
and throughout the rest of the
home was supplied by Hereford
Glass.
The project demanded high
specification insulated glass
units to achieve a high level
of thermal efficiency for this
project. Hereford Glass chose
Super Spacer® warm edge
spacer bar and Bostik 5000
hotmelt sealant both supplied
by Edgetech UK with Neutral
Activ Soft KS glass with argon
gas fill. This combination is
designed to keep the warmth in
on cold winter days and reflect
the heat from the sun on hot
summer days.
