Technical Specification

The ISO 9000 series of standards set out how Anglian establish, document and maintain an effective quality system which will demonstrate our commitment to quality.

They identify the basic disciplines and specify the procedures and criteria required to ensure that products and services meet the customers' requirement.


BBA

The agrément concept was introduced for the assessment and testing of innovative those which are claimed to construction products or exceed the performance requirements of a relevant British Standard.

The quality of Anglian's materials and the method of manufacture have been examined by the BBA and, as a result, Anglian has become the only company to hold a BBA Certificate for conservatory structures, having been tested for structural integrity, air permeability, water tightness and the effects of wind resistance and snow loadings. Testing carried out by the BBA indicates that the conservatory is fit for its purpose for a minimum of 25 years.



Glass

All glass used in sides, front walls and roof (if specified) will be toughened at our plant to the highest British Standard, this being BS6206 Class A. This means that in the unlikely event of breakage there would be no jagged lengths of glass to cause major injury.

All sealed units are manufactured to BS 5713 and are filled with a mixture of inert gases, which improves insulation values by approximately 15%.


Pilkington 'K' glass is optional and has a special coating on one side. When combined with Anglian's Ultra gas filled sealed units, you get insulation performance that simply cannot be bettered. Thereby enhancing the insulation values to the equivalent of that of a cavity wall.

Anglian is a leading member of the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF). Dealing with a GGF member company assures high professional standards. All companies who apply for membership of the Glass and Glazing Federation are subject to careful vetting and must have completed a minimum of two years trading. They must also satisfy the GGF of their intention and ability to abide by the rules of the Federation. Under the terms of the GGF's Code of Ethical Practice, all members must treat the customer with courtesy and respect at all times.


Frame

The high quality PVCu wall frame for Anglian's conservatories is made in our own factories. Each piece is multi-chambered and strengthened with a 38mm x 38mm zinc galvanised steel reinforcement to provide the necessary load-bearing capability. Together with the welded joints, this all adds up to extra strength. And even if a glass roof is specified, the structure is designed to take the required load bearing.


Security

Home security has never been more important. That's why we design it into our conservatories.

PVCu profiles are covered by BS74 13, which means the materials used are of the highest quality are colour-fast, impact resistant and have immense corner strength.

BS7950/7412 was awarded for improved security requirements of BS74 12, for mechanical loading, human intervention and glazing security.

And all of them have been manufactured from heavy duty frame sections and feature toughened glass as standard.

Other security features include shoot-bolt locking systems and force - resistant hinges.


Each locking device on a handle has shoot bolts that secure casements and fanlights deep into the frame. And doors come complete with a multi-locking system that means applying force around the central lock is a waste of time.
