Fire Escape
While our French windows are often installed in properties that are located on higher floors for better views, our French windows can also be used as an escape route where an existing opening is too small to comply with fire regulations.
FENSA requires that rooms on upper floors have fire escape windows, provided they’re not fitted at a height greater than 4.5 metres. A fire escape window has to be capable of creating a clear space that’s 0.3m². If made to the right size, French windows fulfil these criteria and are considered valid by FENSA.
Further Customisation
Not only do our French windows come with various colour and glazing customisation options, but they are also available in various frame designs. Because of this, you will be able to match your French window frames to other areas of your home.
Additionally, we offer various finishing options for our French windows. Because we create our own French windows, we will also be able to manufacture them to meet your exact specifications for your West Sussex or Littlehampton property.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main benefits of French windows?
One of the key benefits is the ability to create vast panoramas of the outside. French windows also excel at ventilating and brightening your property with light while reducing the possibility of damp-related problems.
What are the similarities and differences between French doors and French windows?
Both French windows and doors have twin glass panels that open from the middle out with no intervening pillar in the centre. French doors are used as patio doors, while French windows are smaller and can be installed at any level of the property for excellent ventilation and views.
Are French windows secure enough to protect my home?
Despite the classic style of French windows, they are no less secure than any other style of double glazing as it depends on the hardware, mechanisms, glazing, and materials used.
Our French windows meet the precise criteria of a police-led initiative designed to reduce the frequency of burglaries throughout the UK. They also have three-point locking systems, shoot bolts, extra-strong hinges, and thermally strengthened glass, making it almost impossible for intruders to break in.
Do French windows swing in or out?
French windows swing out. Friction hinges are included and can open up to 60°, or you can opt for an egress window with a 90° opening arc that functions as a fire escape. These hinges can easily be adjusted and don’t move in the wind.
How much are French windows?
It is difficult to provide a price for your French window as the material you choose, estimated fitting time, and other factors contribute to the overall costs. The best way to get a price is to call us at 01903 723362.
Happy Customers
Alison Lowe
Kayvex has replaced several windows in my home and fitted a new door. The service provided was fantastic.. all the staff were efficient, polite, professional and did a superb job. The cost was reasonable, and at all times, I was kept informed of the progress of the jobs undertaken. An excellent company to deal with.
Clare Taylor
I am very happy with my new porch door. It is very well made and has been fitted very well. It was a new fit rather than a replacement door. The fitters were extremely tidy, polite and conscientious. Leaving everywhere very tidy. They even bought their own hoover. The price was very reasonable compared with other quotes. No pushy salesman either. I would use it again as and when the need arises.
Julie
We had our patio door fitted yesterday and felt I needed to leave a review, as this experience was one of the best we have ever had. The price was fantastic, the salesman George was professional, efficient and not pushy at all. The surveyor was nice too; the fitters were brilliant, every appointment was precisely on time, the paperwork was emailed when they said it would be, and the payments required were staged, with the final payment due once fitted and happy.
The door is perfect; it was 6 weeks from start to finish despite being quoted 12 weeks (which we were happy with). I would not hesitate to recommend Kayvex to anyone, it all seemed a bit too good to be true quite honestly. Well done, Kayvex.
Helen Elliott-Adams
From Sales to the installation of our “Warm Roof”, we could not fault the service we received. Everyone we came into contact with was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for our installation team. We would not hesitate to use Kayvex again or to recommend them.
Stephen Jordan
A neighbour recommended us Kayvex. From start to finish we received a very good service, John visited and offered very good advice on the products we required. Shelley and Tia were always available to answer any enquiries, and Wayne was also very informative when carrying out the survey, talking us through the fitting process and talking in detail about the products we were purchasing.
We had doors and windows fitted, and Paul and Brandon carried out the fitting. They arrived on time each day, were friendly in their approach, and carried out the fitting to a high standard whilst being respectful of our home with their tidiness.
We found all the members of the team friendly and knowledgeable and would recommend Kayvex to anyone having door and window home improvements.
