GOT IT PEGGED
Halo fabricator and installer Aztec Windows has introduced a bespoke decorative peg stay option for the Halo FlushSash system .
The Coventry-based company was the first to adopt the mechanically jointed FlushSash PVCu system and found that it quickly became popular with a variety of customers , for use in both heritage homes and in more contemporary settings in a range of colours .
Director Michael Hagan explains : “ We ’ ve found the FlushSash to be a very versatile system . We have branded it as the Prestige Collection ® and it ’ s been
‘ a traditionalstyle working peg stay
’
specified in some quite modern settings , but we ’ ve found that it is particularly suited to historic homes and heritage projects . For this reason , we decided to expand upon its Georgian features with a traditional-style working peg stay . We designed and commissioned bespoke pin fixings that make this peg stay work perfectly with the Halo system .
“ This new feature is exclusively available on the FlushSash by request . It started off as a matter of aesthetics , making the window look even more authentically traditional , but after consultation with our customer base it became apparent they wanted a working peg stay , not just decorative .”

“ It ’ s disturbing how easily standard locks can be penetrated by thieves ,” said Alan Parker managing director of Winlock Security . “ The latest research from the Netherlands indicates 80 % of locks can be bumped within minutes and if that doesn ’ t work , pins can be picked , plugs can be pulled , or less subtle methods such as drilling can be employed to destroy a lock within seconds . We wanted to create a lock which was impenetrable , and with the Trimas 3 Cylinder we have achieved this objective ”.
Available in double , thumb turn and half cylinders , in lengths from 70mm- 110mm in satin nickel , satin brass , polished brass and polished chrome finishes , Winlock ’ s latest innovation offers fabricators and installers complete choice and flexibility . It is even available in Master keyed options , keyed alike or paired alike sets ex-stock .
