Perimeter seals, waterproof materials and high quality window sills combine to provide long term resistance. Come even the harshest rain, snow or wind, your homeowners can have peace of mind.

We even offer a lock upgrade with our uPVC sliding sash windows, for enhanced protection that adheres to PAS 24 certifications.
