New locking system further enhances security credentials
FLUSH CASEMENT WINDOWS DELIVER TIMELESS APPEAL
Epwin Window Systems ’ Flush Casement windows have proven their timeless appeal in a recent Yorkshire home remodelling project . The comprehensive front property elevation was carried out by local builder and property owner , Ralph Schorah-Croft who fitted the Flush Casement windows in a sympathetic extension of his detached bungalow in Pickering , North Yorkshire .
Ralph said : “ Having used Kingfisher Windows before , we knew we were in safe hands with our own home refurbishment project . The windows look superb and have been a real talking point with many neighbours and passers-by enquiring about the windows .”
The windows for the comprehensive front elevation including the construction of an additional front bay window , were manufactured by longstanding Epwin Window Systems ’ fabricator , Kingfisher Windows . Deborah Beeley , Sales and
Marketing Manager at Kingfisher Windows explains . “ The customer wanted to extend their 1970s-built bungalow which included the construction of a full front extension and porch area . The Flush Casement windows were chosen for their timeless aesthetic appeal and were manufactured in sage smooth on white to sympathetically complement the property ’ s light stone façade . The new extension is impressive and has delivered the transformation this family home required .”
Epwin Window Systems ’ Flush Casement system delivers the hallmark of a traditional timber window but with all the modern PVC-U performance . Suitable for both new build and refurbishment projects , the windows are designed to maximise thermal efficiency . The PVC-U system meets and exceeds all regulatory requirements and achieves a window U-value of 1.2W / m 2 K with 24mm double glazing .

Epwin Window Systems has further enhanced the security credentials of its PatioMaster Sliding Door System with the introduction of a new and exclusive Yale 10-Point Locking System .
Designed in collaboration with Yale , a global leader in security solutions , the new Yale 10-Point Locking System redefines door security by delivering the equivalent of a standard lock plus additional shootbolts at the top and bottom of the sash . By incorporating this advanced 10-point locking mechanism in addition to the Yale 3 * cylinder , the Patio- Master Sliding Door System has exceeded the stringent requirements of PAS24:2022 enhanced security accreditation , underscoring the company ’ s commitment to security excellence .
Every component of the PatioMaster System is impressive and has been intelligently designed to elevate its technical performance . A new sash profile increases glazing options and means the system offers outstanding thermal performance with U-values as low as 1.0 W / m2K with triple glazing . It also has class-leading weather performance and has achieved a market-leading wind loading of 1600Pa which means PatioMaster is the superior sliding door solution for coastal or highrise properties .
Compared to mass market offerings , the PatioMaster doors are 33 % stronger by design . And a new interlock prevents intruders from prising the panes open to gain entry . The door system delivers enhanced performance with superior aesthetics , while self-levelling rollers ensure an easy-glide operation , making it a pleasure to use .
