Windows can either enhance a property to make it into a desirable home or where poorly chosen in both style and material can seriously detract from a buildings potential and value.

With over 75 years of designing and manufacturing top quality new and replacement windows our range of FMC Premier frames is guaranteed to provide the standard now required by the quality housing market.

We can provide individual windows or a full set of replacements either to the same style as your existing or an enhanced design to add to your home. Compliance with the latest building regulations is assured as is high thermal efficiency and longevity.

We manufacture in a range of timbers which include Oak, Sapele (Mahogany), Iroko , Douglas Fir and Redwood (Pine). All our timbers are fully pre treated prior to painting or staining to prevent attack by beetle or worm.

Longevity of our Premier Frames

Longevity is provided by using a range of high performance micro porous finishes from Sikkens water based coatings, unlike traditional oil based paints the micro porous finishes are absorbed by the timber and also allow it to breathe but remain water repellent giving a very durable long life coating.

The finishes available in the hardwood windows from our Premier range from a light oak or ash to very dark walnut or Jacobean oak. Solid colours are provided in a huge range in fact anything with a BS or Ral number can be provided.

The quality of the materials, manufacturing process and finishes allows us to provide a 10 year guarantee on the timber, hardware and glazing also, as a member of the Consumer Protection Association we can also offer an independent guarantee from the CPA if required.

The Premier range is available in casement styles of both Storm proof and Flush (cottage style) All these frames have sliding stainless friction hinges as shown in the adjacent images and can be provided with an Egress (fire escape) hinge which gives a 90 degree opening for bedrooms, this is to comply with the latest building regulations. Security is provided by multi point Espagnolette locking mechanism and has a lockable vent facility. The frames are fully draft striped with a memory seal and together with the hardware provides a fully weather tight finish.

Mock sash imitate a traditional sash but with a top hung opener, we can also supply an opening lower sash to provide an Egress facility. Hardware on the mock sash is similar to that of the casements with Stainless friction hinges and Espagnolette locking.

The sliding sashes are available with either pulleys and weights or spiral balances, the pulleys tend to be used for listed and protected buildings where the frame lives inside the outer leaf in order to hide the sash boxes, which are covered by a deep timber architrave. The spiral balance being much thinner will sit in the outer leaf as shown on the images below.

The spiral balance has a threaded rod at each side of the frame and on the sash has a trunnion (rotating nut) which runs up and down the threaded rod thus keeping the sash parallel. Tension is adjustable at each side to aid tracking and this is the modern preferable choice for a sliding sash.

The frames for both styles are fully draft stripped and have rotating catches on the sashes for security, further locking can be provided with optional shoot bolts.

We provide a full site survey facility with samples available for viewing, once ordered our Installation Manager will visit site to conduct a full measure and finalise the style and colour etc.

Fitting is provided by our highly experienced team who have been trained as joiners, builders and plasterers prior to joining the fitting teams and depending on the role required to install the new frames, depends who visits your site.
