Available in both top hung and side hung versions in all the usual lengths, VBH advises that the product provides excellent weather sealing and draught proofing performance thanks to its extended enclosed end cap and asymmetrical sash arm. A lipped slider provides a smooth operation and the friction can be adjusted via a robust cam friction device that eliminates the risk of friction screw misuse. 12 JUN 2014 Slotted fixing holes mean the vent can be easily adjusted to ensure perfect closing. Most standard profiles are catered for as the Standard and Highline variants will suit hinge cavities from 13 – 18mm, meaning that the product is ideal for PVCu, aluminium and storm proof timber windows. Yale Window Hinges are manufactured using ferritic stainless steel and are covered by a Yale 10 Year Mechanical Guarantee.

Hereford Glass featured on national television after taking part in the latest series of Channel 4’s Restoration Man. Episode five of the current series saw Marco and Kath Walker embarking on a challenging restoration of a couple of Grade II listed 17th and 18th century cow barns in Wellington, Herefordshire to turn them into a family home. As part of the property’s transformation, the couple rebuilt one end of the derelict cow shed and installed a glazed apex to house their new master bedroom. All the glass for the complex apex design and throughout the rest of the home was supplied by Hereford Glass. The project demanded high specification insulated glass units to achieve a high level of thermal efficiency for this project. Hereford Glass chose Super Spacer® warm edge spacer bar and Bostik 5000 hotmelt sealant both supplied by Edgetech UK with Neutral Activ Soft KS glass with argon gas fill. This combination is designed to keep the warmth in on cold winter days and reflect the heat from the sun on hot summer days.
