We use quickslide , and VS express in the past but i believe most upvc sliding sash offer run thro horns. Victoriana sliders is another that should do run thro

Could well.have been put in before the regs changed .. and now they would fall u der the stupid rule of not making situation any worse ( like for like)

No each habitable room has to have a separate escape

Makes no difference if it's a child's bedroom or not , if you need to meet the minimum requirement and this is the way to achieve it then this style will be fitted. Any habitable room ( deemed by if a single bed will fit in the room ) upstairs has to have at least one means of ' escape ' ...

As Randomgrinch says , fit the restrictors if you are concerned. Double glazing companies generally don't fit them as standard but we do have a ' duty of care ' as we are deemed experts in our field ( i know right lol ) . Therefore if it were me then we'd be fitting them in lower level...

So when you pull the handle down, you can see a hole there? If so it's an allen key ...probably a 2mm, but maybe 3 , I can't remember of the top of my head.. but yes it is a bit of a blind hole, shine a torch in it. Just try allen keys till you get one to fit!

The lower one is a cross head/Phillips, and is one of many holding the lock plate to the door sash...

If its duraflex you may struggle to get a new opener ... I thought Duraflex stopped making window profile

Think that's got to be a record.... Resurrecting a 14 year old thread AND advertising your own company ( which is against the sites rules )

Pull the handle down and look in the hole... is it a allen key screw that is recessed in...used to be fairly common

As Notch says, if you have aluminium ( generally shiny ) spacer bar then there is a potential for hear transference, hence most modern units use Black Warm arsge Spacer ( it's plastic ). The gap around the sealed unit in upvc needs to be there for the reasons Notch states , and also thermal...

As seems usual lately I'm late to the party lol...I don't seem to get notifications when I'm tagged for some reason. As Crank says , majority of sealed units are not vacuum , just normal air . Vacuum sealed units do exist but are normally very thin and used in particular ' heritage '...

Having done these as part of my job theb I would say they are much easier to do by removing the sash but that depends on how good access is to the sash. Normally you can pivot the sash , either using screw the flat head screw by the pivot slot , or push the button it, on either side and then...

Warping is normally shown with a long level up the entirety of the door slab , as it show the full extent , but even there that's showing quite a warp. Can you adjust thre locking point ' keep ' on the frame, at that point , to take up the bow? Usually an allen key adjustment or Phillips...

Sorry missed this... yes as the keeps should have adjustment for compression

Sounds to me like some of the issue is compression. How tight is the door in the door frame when the door is closed and and the handle pulled up ( I'm.assuming it's a standard handle and not a bar ). The door should be closed fairly tight against it's seals and then no water should be...

Lots of variables ... Fensa aren't the only competent persons scheme, there is also Certass, Assure , BsI and std building control. Your other 3 options are really personal preference and much more to do with the actual security of the windows and doors. Toughened or Laminate would have to be...

Having fitted some of these I suspect for it to have the internal bar reinforcement it's also on the lower pitched side too? As Crank says that will be the muntin bars ( H bars ) ... all manufacturers seem to suffer from them leaking eventually... i hate the things... looks.easy but never a...

Your bathroom vent isn't PIV , that's just an extractor fan. A PIV system draws air from the loft ...

Purge ventilation is simple things like opening doors and windows , and the use of extractor fans PIV - Positive Input Ventilation System, it pulls air in through the loft and pushes out through a machine in the loft
