Suitable for both first fix and refurbishment applications, the slim pivot uses specifically designed pivot profiles which combine elegant sight lines with high weather performance.

The window is internally glazed for security and has a uniquely designed mullions/transom, which allows the construction of multilight, fixed light and combination windows. Norfolk Frames slim pivot windows are compatible with other Norfolk Frames windows and doors.

Composition

Sections extruded from modified PVC-U complying with BS7413[1].

Appearance

Smooth surface in white with sightlines to match traditional pivot styling.

Size

Windows are manufactured to customer specification. Maximum recommended sizes for individual opening lights is 1500mm W x 1500mm H, although larger sizes are possible.

Fittings and Hardware

The hinge mechanism allows 180° movement. The hinges have friction adjustments for both control and balance and can incorporate safety restrictors, which operate when the window is in the fully reserved position. The closure is a shoot bolt which effects mechanical closure at the bottom rail and head of the window, giving a four point locking arrangement.

Maintenance

Espagnolette and shoot bolt mechanisms should be kept free of debris and sprayed with a lubricant/protective coating at six monthly intervals. The slim pivot window is ideal for use in high and medium rise applications where cleaning of the exterior glass requires to be carried out from inside.
