 Features and Benefits
Security

The Origin Window is PAS 24 certified.

Origin casement windows (1500mm x 2500mm double top hung)

have been impact tested up to 2633Pa and fixed windows (1525mm
x 2641mm single panel) tested to 3591Pa without failure or any sign
of weakness in the crimps.

Origin hinges are made of ferritic stainless steel (to BS EN

10088-2 Grade, previously known as 304) for enhanced corrosion
resistance. The hinges are tested to 50,000 cycles and feature
a friction adjustment without metal to metal contact ensuring
minimum wear.

Hinge guards featuring patented anti-slip & lock technology are

fitted as standard along the hinged side of the window.

The Yale Encloser lock is fitted to accurately align with the keeps.
The cams are manufactured to be finely adjustable, if necessary.

Thermal efficiency

The Origin Window is fitted as standard with a 35mm polyamide

thermal break featuring interlocking barriers that minimise air
flow through the system.

A bespoke cavity gasket is fitted into the internal chamber of the

window between the sash and the frame (excl. the locking side) in
order to further improve thermal efficiency.

The Origin Window is available with Aerogel as an optional

upgrade. Aerogel is the most insulating material on the planet and
allows the Origin Window to achieve a Window Energy Rating of
A++ or up to a 0.9 u-Value.

For more information on Aerogel,

visit www.origin-global.com/aluminium-windows

See the Window Energy Rating Specification Sheet for certified

test results.

Egress application

Approved Document B of the Building Regulations 2010 specifies the following provisions with regards to
egress application:

Section 2.8 Emergency egress windows and external doors

Any window provided for emergency egress purposes and any external door provided for escape should
comply with the following conditions:

a. The window should have an unobstructed openable area that is at least 0.33m2 and at least
450mm high and 450mm wide (the route through the window may be at an angle rather
than straight through). The bottom of the openable area should be no more than 1000mm
above the floor; and
b. the window or door should enable the person escaping to reach a place free from danger and free from
fire. This is a matter for judgement in each case, but, in general, a courtyard or back garden from
which there is no exit other than through other buildings would have to be at least as deep as
the dwelling house is high to be acceptable.

Note 1. Approved Document K protection from falling, collision and impact specifies a minimum
guarding height of 800mm, except in the case of a window in a roof where the bottom of the
opening may be 600mm above the floor.

Note 2. Locks (with or without removable keys) and stays may be fitted to egress windows,
subject to the stay being fitted with a release catch, which may be child resistant.

Note 3. Windows should be designed such that they will remain in the open position without
needing to be held by a person making their escape.

Introducing Aerogel
What is Aerogel?

Aerogel is a synthetic highly porous solid material derived from a silica dioxide gel in which the liquid
has been extracted and replaced with air. The gel is critically heated and the liquid evaporated, leaving a
bonded, cross-linked macromolecule framework.

The name Aerogel may be misleading at first, as aerogels are dry, rigid or elastic foam-like materials but
the name originates from the fact that aerogels are usually derived from wet gels, physically similar to
edible jelly.

A brief history of Aerogel

Aerogel is believed to have been discovered in 1931 as a result of a bet between two chemists, Samuel
Kistler and Charles Learned, over who could replace the liquid in jelly with gas without causing the
remaining solid to shrink. It was Kistler that first succeeded.

Since then aerogels have been used in a wide range of applications from space exploration (Stardust
launch and Mars exploration rovers) to commercial manufacture of building insulation, clothing, tennis
rackets, supercapacitors and thickening agents in cosmetics.

Due to the expensive processes involved in producing aerogel, commercial manufacture of aerogel has
only become viable since the dawn of the 21st century.

Why is Aerogel such a good insulator?

Aerogel can withstand very high temperatures, delivering 39 times more insulation than fibreglass.
Aerogels are fantastic insulators because they limit two of the three methods of heat transfer
(convection, conduction and radiation). Firstly, they are excellent conductive insulators because they
are composed of 99.8% gas (air) and gases are very poor at conducting heat. The remaining 0.02% of
the aerogel is made of silica, which is incidentally also a poor conductor of heat. Secondly the lattice
structure of the solid is highly effective at minimising convection because air cannot circulate through
it. While aerogels are poor radiative insulators (infrared radiation transfers heat) within an aluminium
window frame, the aluminium blocks any infrared radiation.

* The 95mm Stub cill can only be prepared with concealed drainage
if the water can drain away towards the outside of the reveal. There
95 mm Stub cill must be a gap of at least 20mm between the drainage hole and the
substrate in order to ensure the water can drain effectively. The
25

substrate must be sloped to ensure the water doesn’t drain back into
the building. It is the installers responsibility to ensure the drainage
outlets are clear and free to drain water away from the substrate.

 Installation Guide
Apertures

Open cavities discovered between

the inner and outer skins of brick
or block work should be bridged
or closed with an insulation
material in accordance with the
local building authority.

Installation
Windows should be installed
in the aperture without
twisting, racking or distorting.

1. Frame Fixing

FIG 1

Measure the opening, checking it fits with all measurements on your Origin paperwork.

1.1. Place the correct frame packers spaced at a maximum of 500mm apart along the length of the
opening to create a level, well supported platform for the track/cill to sit. (Fig.1)
Windows

51
 Installation guide

1. Frame Fixing (continued)

FIG 2

1.2. Using an appropriate silicone sealant, fill the ends of the cill section & install the end caps. (Fig.2)

1.3. Place the cill on the pre prepared frame packers and re-check for level. Adjust if necessary. (Fig.2)

1.4. Using a silicone sealant, seal the drainage channels adjacent to the brickwork. (Fig.2)

1.5. Run a bead of sealant along the up-stand of the cill. (Fig.2)

52
 FIG 3
If using fixing straps, please skip to 1.7.

1.6. Place the window on the cill and secure into position. Wherever practical, all four corners of the frame
should be secured as follows:
• Frame fixing should be between 100mm to 150mm from the external corners.
• Fixings should be at no greater than 600mm apart and there should be the minimum of two fixings
on each jamb. On windows over 1800mm wide, central head and cill fixings should be provided. (Fig.3)

Please move to 2.1.

1.7. Secure the fixing strap into the rebate of the window with the screws provided. All four corners of the
Windows

frame should be secured wherever practical.

53
 Installation guide

2. Glazing

2.1. All insulated glass units

should be examined for
damages and defects before
installation. (Fig.4)

2.2. Close the window and fully

engage the lock. (Fig.4)

2.3. Remove the 4 glazing

beads. (Fig.4)

2.4. Place the required packers

in the bottom of the glazing
chamber spaced approximately
50mm in from each corner at
90° to the window. (Fig.4)

2.5. Install the glass on the

packers, taking care not to pinch
FIG 4 the gasket on the outside. (Fig.4)

2.6. For safety, always ensure

the top bead is installed first,
followed by the bottom and
then the side beads. (Fig.5)

2.7. Cut the glazing wedge

gasket to length and insert
between the glass unit and the
glazing bead. (Fig.5)

FIG 5

54
 FIG 6

3.1. Wherever practical, windows should be foam filled to stop air flow around the window
and the surrounding aperture. (Fig.6)

3.2. If required, use trims to bridge the gap between the window and the aperture. All trim should be
compatible with the material of the frame and should be colour matched where specified. (Fig.6)

3.3. The sealant should be applied against a firm backing so that it is forced against the sides of the joint
during application. Best practice is to have insulating foam fill inserted wherever practical. (Fig.6)
