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 Top Hung Transom over Fixed (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 Top Hung Transom over Fixed satisfies this above 500×900mm — the configurator confirms each size you enter.
