The launch of a new heavy duty tilt in bar restrictor has been made. The current product had been tried & tested for many years but with sash weights for vertical sliders increasing year on year the current limit of 35 kg on tilting in a sliding sash was no longer sufficient.
The new product has the capacity to be used in full safety on sashes weighing up to 50 Kg. Extensive testing has been conducted on the new product and it is now available for use by all Timb-A-Tilt customers with most PVC & Aluminium systems to follow in the next few weeks as testing and approval by system companies is achieved.

June 2006 - Standing the test!
A leading fabricator of vertical sliding windows became the first company to formally pass testing against the revised BS7950 standard by exceeding the enhanced security requirements for a vertical sliding window. The window tested was fitted with newly developed Caldwell hardware products which will enter production during the early part of 2007. The testing requires the window hardware to resist forces of 3kN applied to the sashes vertically and perpendicular and the hardware designed specifically to pass the test (patent pending) passed with flying colours.
