Standard pivot windows

The traditionally styled Norfolk Frames pivot window features a rebate between outer frame and pivoting frame to active optimum weather performance. Designed to be hinged either horizontally or vertically, the traditional pivot is ideal as a replacement for timber or aluminium pivots in office, hotel and residential blocks, as well as for newbuild applications and is internally glazed for security. Norfolk Frames standard 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 or woodgrain with sightlines to match traditional pivot styling.

Size

Windows are manufactured to customer specification. Maximum recommended sizes for individual opening lights are 1500mm W x 1600mm H, although larger sizes are possible.

Fittings and Hardware

The hinge mechanism has a built in child restrictor and allows 180° movement. The hinges have friction adjustments for both control and balance and incorporate safety restrictors, which operate when the window is in the fully reversed position. The closure is an espagnolette operated shoot bolt which effects mechanical closure at the bottom rail and head of the window as well as multiple locking points on the bottom rail.

Maintenance

Espagnolette and shoot bolt mechanisms should be kept free of debris and sprayed with a lubricant/protective coating at six monthly intervals.
