Building Regulations & compliance
Part L (thermal) — every Glazing Quoter casement uses A-rated 28mm sealed double glazing with low-E soft-coat inner pane and argon fill. Whole-window U-value 1.4 W/m²K (typical). Building Regs minimum is 1.6.
Part F (ventilation) — trickle vents are included as standard on the 1L Side Hung Left (top-edge of frame). Required by current Building Regs for habitable rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.
Part N (safety glass) — required within 800mm of the floor or in any pane next to a door. Toughened glass adds approximately +15% to the price; Toughened + Obscure (combined) adds +26.5%. The configurator prompts you to set this based on installation height.
Part B (means of escape) — for habitable rooms (bedrooms, living rooms), the openable area must be at least 0.33 m² with no dimension less than 450mm. The 1L Side Hung Left satisfies this above 500×500mm — the configurator confirms each size you enter.

Do I need toughened glass for the 1L Side Hung Left?
Toughened glass is required by Part N if the bottom of the glass sits within 800mm of the floor, or if the window is next to a door. The configurator asks this so you don't miss it.
Can the 1L Side Hung Left serve as fire egress?
If the openable area exceeds 0.33 m² with a minimum 450mm in either dimension, the 1L Side Hung Left satisfies Part B (means of escape) for habitable rooms. Most 1L Side Hung Left sizes meet this.
