We have developed a way to install fully glazed and finished windows into your Timber / Steel frame. Our patented window bracket not only allows you to add value to your product by factory fitting fully glazed windows into the external wall panels at the factory, It reduces site prelim costs, reduces manual handling, working at height and site storage and increases security of the building and reduces the risk of theft, damage and arson as well
How it works
The bracket allows the window to be factory fitted and transported while being protected within the external wall panel itself, therefore taking up no additional space on the lorry. Once the panels have been erected on site, the window is simply pushed out to it final position.
The Benefits
Our bracket increases site productivity by allowing both internal and external trades to start as soon as the frame is erected, eliminating the risk of slippage due to bad weather, fitter availability or supply issues. Reducing your site programme by approximately three weeks and reducing site costs.
