Benefits Of Slimline Odd Leg Windows
Slim Sightlines
Narrow frames maximize the glass area, allowing for more natural light and expansive views. Creating a connection between indoor and outdoor environments.
Lightweight
Lighter materials reduce structural stress on buildings, making them a practical choice for properties with narrow wall construction or portable builds. Typically timber framed.
Colour Options
The standard external colours are whiite, golden oak and anthracite grey. Always white internally. Any colour can be painted onto white frames either using a professional service or DIY.
Maintenance Free
Unlike traditional materials, upvc requires no painting or regular upkeep, resists rotting, rusting, and warping, making them a durable and hassle-free solution. Ideal for all weather conditions.
Excellent Insulation
The combination of uPVC frames and double glazing minimizes heat transfer, keeping interiors warm in winter and cool in summer. Ensuring optimal energy efficiency and year-round comfort.
Noise Reduction
Double glazed insulating gap acts as a barrier, dampening sound vibration, highly effective at reducing outside noise, creating a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment.
No Condensation
The thermal conductivity of upvc combined with insulating gap between the glass panes prevents temperature differences that cause moisture buildup, dampness, mold, and mildew.
DIY Installation
Designed for quick and efficient DIY installation. Windows can be fixed with screws through the depth of the frame into the wall or clamp fixed with the availability of aluminium fixing kits.

External Colour Options
The internal colour finish of the window is always white.

Measuring Guidelines
Always measure from inside.
Remove any internal trim around the window to reveal the existing window. Simply measure the existing window.
If the existing window is a very tight fit or you are measuring a new aperture, you can take the tight sizes (hole size) and reduce the overall size by 5mm to allow for easy installation.
Need advice? Arrange a call back.
Do not worry if you have rounded corners, these can easily squared off using a hand held oscillating saw.
The corners do not need to be 'professionally squared' as the external overlap of the upvc window frame will cover the corners and therefore will not be seen.
Installation Guidelines
Installation Overview
Installed from outside, the slim-line odd leg outer frame section sits on the external face of the property, giving a coverage of up to approx 20mm on all sides.
A sealant is put around the external frame and the property walls thus making the window water tight.
Screw fix or Clamp fix?
The windows are either installed by screw fixing through the depth of the window frame into the property wall.
Alternatively, they can be installed by clamp fix method by knocking an aluminium fixing bar into the window frame, giving a secure clamp fix finish.
We offer 3 fixing kits for wall dimensions of approx 38mm, 53mm and 70mm.
Sealant Options
By design, odd leg windows have a external lip on the frame. This design gives extra protection against adverse weather and is mainly used on properties with narrow wall construction.
These buildings are normally externally clad. The window is installed from outside, with the external odd leg profile overlapping the cladding externally approx 15mm - 20mm around the perpetrator of the window (dependent on the installation measuring.)
Neoprene Foam Tape or Silicone?
If using silicone, please ensure you use a non drying sealant. Neoprene tape can be installed.
This gives a neater / cleaner finish. It is also a quicker install however costs more than the silicone finish.
If a weather bar is required, please remember to run a bead of silicone along the area where the frame meets the weather bar. This is to prevent water ingress.
Screw Fix Method
Screw fixing is the most cost effective installation method, however does take more time to install.
You can install the windows using screwing through the depth of the window frame into the timber wall of the property.
The aperture which the window is installed into, will need to be framed so that the screw fixings will bind to. This is normally a timber sub frame or stud wall.
At least 50mm screws required
Once the window is installed, you may need to cover the internal gap between the window and the wall with a trim.
You can use either a pvc or timber trim which can be purchased from us, or from any builders merchants.
Note: Screws or internal window trim are not included with the window supply.
Clamp Fix Method
Fixing bars are available in either Upvc and Aluminium profiles Installed by knocking the fixing bar into the specially designed window, giving a secure clamp fix finish.
The fixing bar then doubles up as an internal trim which sits flush to the inner wall.
38mm, 53mm and 70mm wall thickness
This is suitable for wall construction of 38mm, 53mm or 70mm. (give or take a few mm either side.)
The fixing kit is an additional option to select on the product page. It is only available in white finish.
Clamp Fixing Kit Information
We offer three size fixing kits, 38mm, 53mm, and 70mm. The measurements denote the wall thickness that the fixing bars can be installed. The profile is an addition to the window frame, which has an internal depth of 38mm.
