StormGuard By NorDan
30-year warranty
30-Year Warranty
The StormGuard has the best track record in Europe which is why NorDan are launching a 30-year warranty for the operation of the window and its handles.
NorDan have manufactured the StormGuard window since 1962 with more than 8 million units sold. Of the many millions of StormGuard windows across Europe, only a handful have suffered with maintenance issues.
The StormGuard has a unique hinge system which uses a simple shoot bolt system instead of the usual complicated hinge gearing you find with tilt and turn windows. The simplicity of the shoot bolt system offers an incredibly robust, low-maintenance, high-performance product with a 60+ year lifecycle.
The StormGuard warranty is offered in addition to the standard 30-year warranty which covers all NorDan products against fungal attack, decay and rot.

Unique seven point locking
The StormGuard window’s operating mechanism
1 & 6: HEAD RESTRICTOR ARM
The window opens to 67 degrees on this restrictor arm and will restrict the window in the tilt position to approx 100mm for ventilation purposes. The head restrictor arm (1) is located into the strike plate (6) in the sash.
2: BALL PIVOT
A cup plate in the sash sits on top of the ball allowing the sash to pivot in the turn side (side hung) mode. This can take a sash weight of up to 90kg.
3: ADJUSTMENT DOME
For tolerance purposes, simply use a flat head screwdriver to ensure that the sash is guided into position within the frame.
4 & 7: SHOOT BOLT & LOCKING CLUTCH
The individual shoot bolts locate into the frame ensuring consistant compression of the gasket, therefore provides superior weather and security performance.
5: Cleaning arm
The cleaning arm holds the sash in a steady position while cleaning the window. Note! never leave the window in cleaning position unattended.
Embodied carbon
Building construction is responsible for nearly 40% of annual global carbon emissions and 28% of those emissions are embodied in the materials used in the construction of buildings.

EPD Analysis
Embodied Carbon Comparison
Embodied carbon means all the CO2 emitted in producing materials. The embodied carbon of a building can include all the emissions from the construction materials, the building process, as well as from deconstructing and disposing of it at the end of its lifetime.
NorDan have focused on reducing their environmental impact since the early 1960s and have the lowest embodied carbon figures in the window industry.
Figures include triple glazing for stage A1-A3
