Quality windows systems
FALCON 2000
From the mid seventeenth century to the turn of the twentieth century, most buildings in major UK towns and cities incorporated traditional box sliding sash windows. These windows had a poor insulation rating, however, and were both draughty and prone to problems. Windows in other materials are generally inappropriate and do not match the general detailing of the traditional window. In many cases, they are a crude parody.
An understanding of the importance of the traditional sliding sash window has led Swift Joinery Manufacturers Limited to design and produce the Falcon 2000 range. This window retains the general appearance of the box sliding sash window but incorporates modern technology with high quality draught seals and a removable parting bead for ease of on-site painting. The Falcon 2000 range also offers the option of having pre-tensioned springs made to suit each window (requiring no on-site adjustment) or using the traditional box and weight system.
Falcon 2000 windows are fully factory glazed, with up to 20mm double-glazing with a ventilated bottom bead. An inward tilting facility on the bottom sliding sash (to make cleaning easier) is just one of the options available on this innovative window which retains the charm of a bygone era, and respects a building’s character, yet offers the quality and performance demanded by today’s architects and specifiers.
HAWK 2000
This window is available in a wide variety of side and top hung casements, and with fixed lights, all manufactured to the highest quality and fully licensed and endorsed under the Secured By Design scheme and is accredited to the Q Mark certification scheme by B.M.Trada. The Swift 2000 range offers the ultimate in security, quality and appearance, further enhanced by a full B.F.R.C Energy rating of C and the use of P.E.F.C certified engineered laminated timber with full chain of custody as standard this makes this range of windows the obvious choice to achieve a greener environment.
The Specifiers Choice
When factory glazed, the window has no outside nail fixings thus enabling a paint system to be applied giving optimum adhesion and durability with a guaranteed ten year guarantee for paint and seven for stain these windows are top performing products. The Swift Falcon also incorporates a unique ventilated bottom bead and glazing system giving the double glazed units the ability to give optimum performance under all weather conditions
Our computer system enables us to manufacture to the same high specification for one-off specials as we do for long production runs in a variety of sizes.
Kite 2000 for Upper Floors
This window is offered to complement the Swift Falcon and is intended for upper floors and areas not requiring BS7950. Matching in every detail, and U.K.A.S tested to BS644 these windows are fitted with restricted friction hinges for safety and with a espagnollette shoot bolt and push button key-locking handles. Both the Swift and the Kite window are available with Egress hinges, which enable the window to conform to fire regulations for ease of escape.
Both ranges are accredited to the B.M.Trada Q Mark scheme.
Approved by Lead Housing Associations
The Hawk 2000 range conforms to the latest building regulations and N.H.B.C. requirements, and has been used by numerous housing associations and local authorities within the UK.
KESTREL 2000
Kestrel 2000 is a superb, top turn, fully-reversible window, operating through 180 degrees, which can be locked in the reverse position for safe cleaning of the glass. When the window is being reversed, it does not protrude into the room, and so does not disturb window drapes or ornaments. Again using P.E.F.C engineered defect free laminated timber and with a B.F.R.C energy rating of C as standard coupled with a U.K.A.S test to BS7950/644 and the manufacturers paint guarantee this window is a durable alternative to the standard casement.
The Heights of Excellence
Owing to its robust design, the Kestrel is ideally suited for high rise applications, where external access is difficult. An added safety feature is an automatically operated restrictor, which engages to prevent the window being opened above 100mm.
OSPREY 2000
Osprey 2000 has been specifically designed as a high performance window system for new buildings, which replicate an earlier period. Manufactured to the same high standards as our Kite 2000 range, it offers a wide variety of styles and options to suit any budget.

Pre-Finished Windows

Our system uses the latest paint technology from Teknos Coatings Limited using Aquatop 260 waterborne decorative finishes. Factory finishing ensures application is in a strictly controlled climate, resulting in maintenance intervals averaging seven years. This makes pre-finished windows an ideal choice for both the domestic and commercial market. All our timber is fully treated using Wycabor 10 system to BS8417 Table 9/30years after all machining.
