The new Woodwright made-to-measure sliding sash from Andersen Windows is becoming an increasingly popular choice of window for architects working in conservation areas in the UK.
On the inside, high quality, knot free pine offers home owners all the beauty of natural wood, which can be varnished, stained, or painted to suit the interior decor.
Low E argon filled, tempered double glazed units, giving U values as low as 1.58, ensure superior energy efficiency, with solar control insulating glass with a soft grey tint available as an additional option, which can further reduce heat gain.
For added protection against the elements, a thermal barrier on the sill reduces conductive heat loss and prevents condensation on the inside of the doors, whilst a flexible weatherstrip on the head and side jambs gives an effective seal between the frame and the panels.
The additional luxury of High Performance Low-E4 self cleaning glass is offered as standard, across the 400 Series of Frenchwood Gliding and Hinged Patio Doors, with the glazing protected on delivery by a special disposable film.
Designed for security, convenience and practicality, all Andersen Patio Doors are available with optional six-pin key cylinder interior and exterior locks.
The Gliding Patio Doors, with their ball bearing rollers, slide smoothly and quietly along stainless steel tracks, which do not stain, rust or dent, and are positioned on the inside of the house for greater security.
The Frenchwood Hinged Patio Doors, have adjustable patented hinges with ball bearing pivots for frictionless movement.
An oak threshold can also be added to the interior and as an option, and exterior and/or interior ramps for wheelchairs can be supplied for the inward opening and gliding patio doors in order to meet Part M.
