Mighton Gains LABC approval for Timber Sash Window Systems

Mighton Products has become the only window systems company to gain LABC approval for timber sash windows and this covers their EcoSash, EcoSlide and EcoSafe range, which sit alongside their energy rated EcoTilt product.

The company now offers a unique range of Part L compliant window systems which have been registered with Local Authority Building Control (LABC), after they carefully approved the technical drawings and thoroughly examined the test results. For joiners and fabricators this means that sash windows no longer need to be tested individually, as long as they are manufactured to Mighton's specifications, which includes hardware and weatherstripping. The approval certificates are even verifiable on the official LABC website at www.labc.uk.com.

Gaining Part L approval for a window involves the design, manufacture, testing, and submission of drawings and results, and a document control process. This has already been completed by Mighton Products so they are now able to provide these test results, drawings and permission to build an approved window to their customers, along with a simplified document control system.

The EcoTilt window already carries 'A', 'B' and 'C' ratings under the Window Energy Ratings Scheme (WERs) which in itself is Part L compliant. Combined with the LABC approvals, it's helping save their customer's time and money, enabling them to focus on other key areas of their business. It's proving the perfect 'off the shelf' solution to the new Building Regulations.

Mike Derham, chairman of Mighton Products comments: "We've taken the pain, worry and cost away from the joiners, fabricators and installers by investing in LABC approvals and the Window Energy Ratings. For our customers, we've added a level of re-assurance that other timber window systems companies haven't yet been able to replicate."
