Sliding Sash Casements

The main mechanical part for a vertical slider is the sash weight balances. Windows Trade Plus supply these parts from ERA under the TrueGlide balances and are by far the best on the market.

The balances are manufactured in the UK in a dedicated facility and have a range weight between 3.6kg - 49.5kg. The balances are pre-tensioned and can be adjusted via a screwdriver for site adjustments. The combination of stainless steel rod tensions and twin spring provide an assisted lift with a smooth and easy operation. As the balance is an integral internal part there is limited weather concerns.

The balances have been used in the Windows Trade Plus production for over 15 years and never failed, bringing great confidence in the product. The locking mechanism used is the Classic Cam lock and keep which is in keeping with the traditional look as these are part of the fab and fix range they will match perfectly with the rest of the property where Windows Trade Plus windows and doors are fitted the locking can is corrosion tested to BSEB 1670:2007 grade 5 ( 480 hours )
