Composite Windows

The double and triple glazed systems offer a range of U-Values depending upon the type of wood (engineered pine, engineered oak, engineered mahogany or engineered Siberian larch) and glazing.

Sash Windows
Rawington has the capability to supply a wide range of traditional English sliding sash windows that are virtually indistinguishable from original sash windows. Timber is the best material for these windows as it offers character, warmth, comfort, durability and heat retention. The windows are available in oak, pine, mahogany and larch. Rawington uses triple-layer wood which is sourced from FSC approved suppliers. The three layers prevent the frame from twisting and increase the lifespan of the window. The windows are extremely secure and feature lockable catches, internal glazing, robust construction and Rola ‘S’ lock. This style of window is ideal for conservation areas and listed buildings and come in a wide range of finish options. Styles available include:
- Straight Slider: A traditional vertical straight sliding window with sashes that are operated by spiral balances. This window offers superior weatherproofing and sound insulation.
- Standard Mock: A top opening mock sash window which sits above a fixed pane. The sash is hung on solid brass hinges and operates on a traditional casement stay.
- Superior Mock: A top opening mock window which sits above a fixed pane. The bottom section has a dummy sash and the top opens outwards on stainless steel friction stays and is secured by a brass locking casement fastener.
- Slide and Tilt: The slide and tilt window is the same as a vertical straight slider, but incorporates a tilt-in facility which makes cleaning the window easier. This model is manufactured with spiral balances operating within an aluminium channel.
- Vari Vent: Vari Vent has been developed by Rawington and is a premium sash window which looks like a vertical straight slider, but features an outward opening top sash and a bottom sash which slides and tilts inwards. When fully closed, the window sashes are secured by a brass locking casement fastener.
Composite Conservatories and Curtain Walling
The mullion transom glazing system Lara GF is manufactured by Gutmann AG and is a curtain walling system for large area and multi-level glass surfaces divided up into many sections. Lara GF is also ideal for conservatories, glass roofs and classic winter gardens.

Doors
Rawington offers a wide range of external door solutions to suit a vast array of architectural styles. Options include:
- Rawilux Exterior Doors: Rawilux doors are ideal for homes and other buildings and they are water and weather proof and equipped with a non-freezing sash. The door sash is manufactured from folded steel profiles and external protective 2mm thick steel plate. The metal edge of the sash is covered with humidity-proof veneer and internally the door features a double insulation spacer and 30mm thick edgings to isolate the passage of cold weather. Rawilux is decorated with an even or milled decorating water-proof plywood sheet which can be painted in any RAL colour or in a natural wood shade of mahogany, wild ash, oak, hazel, chestnut or lemon tree.
- Tilt and Slide Doors: Large tilt and slide doors provide air, light and ease of movement. With large heavy, sliding doors, it is essential to have easy operation and movement. The Siegenia-Aubi hardware has been optimised with a view to large parallel slide and tilt doors. Sash weights of up to 200kg can be simply operated with one hand. With a simple 90 degree movement, the sash will easily tilt into position. A further downward twisting movement brings the sash back into position to slide it to the side. Sashes are available in 2000mm widths and 2360mm heights.
- Lift and Slide Doors: With ironmongery from Siegenia-Aubi, the lift and slide doors create a pleasant atmosphere in any room. When closed, the hardware seals the whole of the locking side. At the turn of the handle, an efficient ventilation gap can be easily achieved whilst maintaining security.
- Bi-Fold Sliding Doors: Bi-fold sliding doors create a wide open access point in homes and businesses. The doors fold back and allow the outside into the space, making one large area. Openings can be created up to 6.3m wide with sash widths of 330 to 900mm. A thermally broken threshold for low threshold design meets DIN 18030. There is a wide and varied range of configuration options available depending upon the space and application including top or bottom rail, inward or outward opening.
