LDG Hybrid Windows

These Hybrid Windows are double glazed, more environmentally friendly than traditional windows and are set to be the next big thing to hit the window market.

LDG Hybrid Windows also includes an inward opening - tilt and turn – window system option should the outward opening system not be appropriate.
Top guided
The ironmongery of top-guided windows is mounted in the top of the window's side sash and jamb. When opening the window, the bottom part of the sash slides outwards, while the top part slides down along the sides. The window is operated with an Espagnolette handle mounted at the centre of the bottom sash.
When opening the sash with the handle, the window can be secured in a ventilation position of approx. 10-20 mm allowing secure ventilation in adverse weather. For larger open positions the sash is held by means of the built-in friction brake, however, this friction brake should not be used to fix the sash in a fixed position in windy weather.
