’
The quality of the Yale Flush Sash dual cam Shootbolt locking system is evident from its features . The window lock has been designed to meeting PAS 24 requirement and is currently undergoing Secured by Design accreditation . As well as chamfered security shootbolts , there is also a secondary cam that means the window can have a night vent feature too .
Home Improvements because , as Director Geoff Dwyer explained , the backing of the Glazerite UK Group as well as VEKA was crucial in tackling the job .
The job was not without challenges , he continued , firstly in removing the original Crittall steel frames , which were not only set into concrete , but many had to be taken out in a single three metre by two metre piece .
Also , the new frames were an unusual combination of side-hung casement and tilt / turns which
It comes with a ten-year mechanical and a ten-year security guarantee .
The Yale Flush Sash dual cam shootbolt will be available on Modplan ’ s FlushSash products as standard . This change will mean might have been a problem for some fabricators , though Glazerite took them in its stride .
Adeva installed the A-Rated , SBD specification windows and doors based on the VEKA M70 system , in white for main contractor Mulalley and Company Ltd of Woodford Green on behalf of the London Borough of Wandsworth . VEKA also carried out the wind load calculations for the design specification .
