arfur mo Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Further to reply there is no seal on UPVC window frames only on the glass sealed unit, unfortunatly the insurance co has specified window contacts as well as internal protection, we often fixed window contacts to pvcu (or whatever it is called now) but we have used normal surface with screws, but this time the window people are being adamant no screws.I like awkward questions sorry! Binthere Araldite Rapid just thought i'd add this in, why not use the '2 pack' they use to stick on the beeding? i posted in another thread that only one company (Everest) to my knowledge has ever claimed the sections were factory vacum sealed, and so peircing them would degrade the insulation properties. for your own protection you need to get written permission from the client prior to drillling, then leave it up to him/her to do battle with Insurrance Co and Glazing Company. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

amateurandy Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 We have all been told by upvc window/door installers 'if the alarm engineer drill's the windows for surface contacts the warranty is void they must use the stick on type' I've just ordered some windows and a door and I asked specifically about the door contacts. The surveyor (not the salesman) said, not a problem, ask the fitters where and how you should SCREW them back on it - we know it's needed and allow for it and it doesn't void the warranty. He also pointed out that some adjustment or packing may be needed as the new door would be offset from the frame (unlike the old wooden one). That was Everest by the way...................

Guest anguscanplay Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 how do they fit the letter boxes and handles the only reason they sat no drilling is so the customer dont make them put it back on and get it wrong same as carpet fitters and no hoovering fot three days lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 same as carpet fitters and no hoovering fot three days lol Yeah thats a good one, saves them tidying up, they also say, we'll leave all these remnants with you incase you need them. What do you do with a bit of carpet 10 ft long by 6 inches wide? Answers on a postcard, photo replies only. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!
