Egress easy clean stay hinge. The part in question is essentially a push button that allows you to slide the window along to one side when the top and bottom are engaged and you pull the top/bottom along. It's so you can clean the windows from the inside. The manufacturer should be stamped on it with part number but if not, you might be able to find the long-stay hinge online but I'd contact a local repair company so that they can do it for you (looking at picturs, it would be the best option).

Fensa, if they are registered but you could also ask a reputable company or a 3rd party independent surveyor.

I have to at this point advise that is something they would need to take up with a professional inspection, due to the nature of how things may proceed. Whether GGF members or not, it’s very common for the guidelines set out in the GGF documents to be followed by pretty much all suppliers and often referred to even when not members. These guidelines are pretty standard, also similar to European guidelines tbh.

It’s something you’ll need to take up directly with them, but if you’re not happy tell them you aren’t but be reasonable and be prepared with points you want clarified and why they aren’t doing anything to rectify. If you’re unsatisfied with their response, explain you’ll be taken matters further (Internorm, Fensa, GGF), document everything and remember. If it isn’t in writing or recorded, it never happened.

One and the same.

Just to come back to this, having had a look at the pictures and comments, I’d be embarrassed to leave it like this and to give the alleged comments the MD supplied. I understand comments about making good but they have a duty to repair and make good internally and externally on a replacement.

No and it should have been discussed with you prior to supplying the door, especially if they weren’t able to sit it further below the ffl, as better options exist. This is a conversation they should have had with you, it is their responsibility as the supplier.

Sorry having a BBQ with family today but I’ve had a brief look and I can understand the concerns. Your best bet is to speak to the install team/supplier raising concerns and if you have no luck speak to Fensa/Certass if they are registered and if you’re still not happy with response. Check if they are registered with the GGF and raise concerns with them.

From recollection they’re transport packers. Can’t help with blind adjustment unfortunately, one if the reasons we stay clear and keep to accessible items. I can’t see water issue clearly, need to get inside to see it but that ain’t happening for a few hours yet 😉

European glass will likely be marked on the spacer bar and not on the glass, some will.

Should be more than enough.

Top hung friction stay hinge, looks like a slim model but the size etc will all need to be checked. There may be a code on the hinge.

You’re not wrong, there are system suppliers such as Gutmann, Siegenia, Maco for example. There are many uPVC systems and glass suppliers, such as Pilkingtom, Guardian, Saint Gobain, Euroglas, AGC and hardware suppliers like Siegenia, Maco, Roto, Mila and more. There are manufacturers that put these systems together from the parts they purchase.

Not for me to say publicly but Nordan have a place in the market as it’s a cheap product 😉

I edited my post as you replied.

Yes. Edit: I should qualify that by saying I’m in the industry, I have an advantage in knowing and seeing the reasons why. Others may not and therefor that difference may not be obvious until pointed out.

The likes of Rationel, Velfac, Zyle Fenster, Ideal Combi are mid level in terms of cost, quality etc. The likes of Internorm, Gaulhofer, Katzbeck, Enersign are at the higher end in terms of cost and quality for example.

Position 3, curtain walling every day of the week, it's too bulky just using window systems and may not even pass wind load calculations as windows (too much deflection).

No, it's not the only approach but it is in my honest opinion, the only sensible approach but it will cost.

Per m2 pricing, is very, very subjective. There are too many variables for it to be a good tool for comparison but it does give a baseline figure but I'm not a fan of it. At the mid level aspect of the market in terms or pricing, I'd say that £700 to £800 per m2 supply only, is a fair price. At the higher end of the market, I'd say that £1K to £1.2k per m2 is a fair price. Part of an overall order or one window? I'd say that's a fair price to be honest for one item, if it was part of a larger order, then I'd be looking for that to be a little less and in the £2.5K region but that's toughened on all panes (triple glazed), Pas 24 would be roughly the same.

Hi Can you drop me a message with how many metres you require and I'll give you a price direct from Illbruck and a timescale. Thanks Craig

Interesting, I need to look into that - not aware of that (you learn something every day), not sure how it works tbh.

Concealed turn lock (it's not concealed but flush mounted) this is from a different supplier of course. Child finger restrictor The picture below shows the space available from the restrictor to the locking keep, you'd be able to judge easily if it fitted in place or not. Restrictor arm in the closed position.

They are referring to the turn lock, not a restrictor. You can have a concealed or visible turn lock supplied by Internorm, an opening restrictor as mentioned above, would be an after-market solution and unlikely to be something the supplier or Internorm supported. You can get left and right options on Amazon, they're about £5 per restrictor and something you could do yourself.
