New reversible window

Liniar is set to introduce a reversible window for difficult-to-access locations.

Ideal for high-rise projects, the moving pane rotates through a full 180° cycle, allowing the external glass of a Liniar reversible window to be safely cleaned from the inside of the property. The rotating mechanism keeps the moving pane from intruding into the inside of the room – so no snagging on curtains or blinds.

Liniar said its new reversible window – with the inner sash flush on both the inside and the outside – can be used on commercial applications, and is compatible with the full 70mm Liniar suite.

Patented features such as Liniar’s co-extruded bubble gasket, thermal dam and glazing flipper ensure a draught-free installation with high thermal efficiency – and Liniar reversible windows also benefit from an easy fit, one-piece drip bar with concealed fixings to help protect the window from severe weather conditions.

Chris Armes, Liniar’s design and development manager, said: “Not only will this prove an ideal choice in multi-storey developments, or in locations that are hard to reach in order to keep windows clean, we’ve also developed this for markets outside of England where some building regulations differ.

“In Scotland, for instance, building regulations state that both external and internal surfaces of a window should be able to be cleaned safely from the inside where any part of a window in a dwelling is above 4m from ground level, without the use of step ladders.

“Liniar’s reversible window easily achieves this requirement, while benefiting from the many advantages and styling of the rest of the range.”
