When specifying windows for housing projects, I think it’s important to consider the resilience, functionality, and longevity of the product.
In recent years, these qualities have also had to apply in tandem with heat efficiency and low-carbon manufacturing to provide windows that meet current environmental standards and provide a long-term, sustainable option.
With the StormGuard window, NorDan combines over 90 years of traditional Scandinavian window design with modern innovations to deliver a window with exceptional weather performance, low maintenance characteristics and excellent carbon credentials.
The NorDan StormGuard window is one of the top-performing window products available in the market, having been designed to withstand even the harshest of Norwegian conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for building projects of all kinds, from private rental apartments and student accommodation to affordable and social housing.
One of the stand-out features of the window is its 7-point locking mechanism, which provides added functionality that simultaneously improves the ease of cleaning, security, and safety of the product.
How Does the System Work?
StormGuard's 7 independent locking points ensure a strong and even seal that can withstand up to 197mph of wind and rain pressure, far exceeding British weather performance standards.
A consistent pressure is kept on the weather gasket across all 7 points, which are strategically set around the window to evenly distribute the pressure. The ironmongery is all set behind this gasket, improving performance and security by ensuring no gaps are created near the seal by bolts and locks and that the ironmongery is not damaged by the weather elements.
Together, this prevents any air from sneaking through, even in Category 5 Hurricane-level winds.
The StormGuard window has also been accredited with Secured by Design, which ensures it has been responsibly designed to prevent break-ins and give peace of mind for the security of the building.
The 7-point locking system adds to this by ensuring that the window can be opened regularly without compromising structural integrity when locked shut.
