GOT IT PEGGED
Halo fabricator and installer Aztec Windows has introduced a bespoke decorative peg stay option for the Halo FlushSash system.
The Coventry-based company was the first to adopt the mechanically jointed FlushSash PVCu system and found that it quickly became popular with a variety of customers, for use in both heritage homes and in more contemporary settings in a range of colours.
Director Michael Hagan explains:“ We’ ve found the FlushSash to be a very versatile system. We have branded it as the Prestige Collection ® and it’ s been
‘ a traditionalstyle working peg stay
’
specified in some quite modern settings, but we’ ve found that it is particularly suited to historic homes and heritage projects. For this reason, we decided to expand upon its Georgian features with a traditional-style working peg stay. We designed and commissioned bespoke pin fixings that make this peg stay work perfectly with the Halo system.
“ This new feature is exclusively available on the FlushSash by request. It started off as a matter of aesthetics, making the window look even more authentically traditional, but after consultation with our customer base it became apparent they wanted a working peg stay, not just decorative.”

“ It’ s disturbing how easily standard locks can be penetrated by thieves,” said Alan Parker managing director of Winlock Security.“ The latest research from the Netherlands indicates 80 % of locks can be bumped within minutes and if that doesn’ t work, pins can be picked, plugs can be pulled, or less subtle methods such as drilling can be employed to destroy a lock within seconds. We wanted to create a lock which was impenetrable, and with the Trimas 3 Cylinder we have achieved this objective”.
Available in double, thumb turn and half cylinders, in lengths from 70mm- 110mm in satin nickel, satin brass, polished brass and polished chrome finishes, Winlock’ s latest innovation offers fabricators and installers complete choice and flexibility. It is even available in Master keyed options, keyed alike or paired alike sets ex-stock.
