PVCU Mechanically Jointed Sash Windows | Mercury Glazing

PVC-U Mechanically Jointed Vertical Sliders

While there is no denying the beauty of traditional wooden windows, there is also no avoiding the fact that timber can cause issues over time. In historical builds where preserving the character and charm of your property’s architecture is absolutely paramount, the combination of classic aesthetics and modern technology in PVC-U Mechanically Jointed Vertical Sliders makes these innovative sash windows the perfect solution to your building conservation woes.

What are PVC-U Mechanically Jointed Vertical Sliders?

Combining the benefits of modern energy-efficient technology with the authentic appearance of traditional window joinery, Mercury Glazing’s range of mechanically jointed sash windows deliver high performance while also delivering a functional solution to worn-out timber windows. Mechanical joints are engineered with reliable spiral balance mechanisms, meaning you will no longer endure a daily battle with antique weights, pulleys, and broken sash cords.

In contrast to fully welded sliders, which benefit from modern welding technology, our mechanically jointed Spectus vertical sliders provide a more classic option. While the process of welding is not necessarily inauthentic, mechanically jointed vertical sliders replicate traditional mortice and tenon joints. Put simply, a mechanical joint does not have the diagonal line of a welded joint, and while a mechanical joint is just as effective in insulating your property from the elements, it can also replicate the authentic appearance of a traditional timber joint in a more genuine way.

Featuring the Ultra Slim Vertical Sliding Sash Meeting Rail for Uncompromising Heritage Renovations

With a slender 37mm profile, our Ultra Slim Vertical Sliding Sash Meeting Rail marries the timeless beauty of classic dimensions with the modern appeal of our extensive PVC-U product line.

This system presents an efficient solution for installers, boasting a 128mm outer frame designed to match traditional box sash dimensions, and offers a choice between a 150mm or 210mm sill. It is certified with a Kitemark in compliance with BS EN 12608, has PAS 24 accreditation and is designed to fulfil Secured by Design criteria, ensuring it meets Document Q standards.

The ultra-slim meeting rail addition enhances the authenticity of Spectus vertical sliders. Paired with a variety of colour options and superior thermal efficiency, Mercury solidifies its position as the premier provider of contemporary heritage windows.
