Fabricators are fielding more questions about window restrictors than ever.

When installers ask fabricators about opening restrictors for specifiers, landlords, or homeowners, it usually boils down to three core drivers: child safety, home security, and Part K compliance.

But matching the right restrictor to the right application - and ensuring it satisfies building regs without sacrificing ease of operation - can get tricky.

From folding openers and restricted friction stays to surface-mounted safety catches and key-locking options, Window Ware is here to help you navigate the specs!

Our technical team has put together a short guide to window restrictors - covering safety standards, security considerations, and Part K compliance.

What type of restrictors are you specifying most often on your bench right now - concealed, cable, or surface-mounted?

Massive congratulations to our MD, Samantha Nuckey, and the incredible glazing industry team who have successfully completed the Machu PiGchu challenge organised by People In Glazing in aid of Harry's Pals! 🏔️🥾

After days of gruelling terrain, and some very early starts, they’ve crossed the finish line and achieved something truly special for a fantastic cause.

We couldn’t be prouder of Sam and everyone involved for pushing through the tough moments to make a real difference.

There’s still time to show your support and donate to Harry's Pals if you haven't already: 👉 https://www.justgiving.com/page/samantha-nuckey-3

Sourcing PAS 24 hardware just got a whole lot faster and easier. 🔒

Fabricators know that keeping up with UK Building Regulations and meeting security standards like PAS 24 is non-negotiable. But trawling through separate supplier listings to find tested, compatible hardware? That’s valuable production time nobody wants to waste.

To save you the hassle, we’ve launched a dedicated PAS 24 Door & Window Hardware category on the Window Ware site.

We’ve brought together the tested locks, handles, hinges, and security components engineered to support PAS 24 builds - all in one place, backed by live stock levels and next-day UK dispatch.

💡 A quick reminder from our technical team: PAS 24 compliance applies to the complete, fully assembled window or door set - it isn't transferable from individual components. Using PAS 24-ready hardware simply means those components are proven to support your overall assembly when it goes to the test house.

We’ve done the hardware legwork so your team can focus on production.

Meanwhile, over 3000 metres above sea level… ⛰️

While the rest of us at Window Ware are keeping things running smoothly here, our MD, Sam Nuckey, is currently somewhere high up in the Andes, taking on the Inca Trail for Harry's Pals Charity alongside a fantastic team from PiGs People In Glazing!

She’s survived the altitude acclimatisation and is now well into the trek with her fellow industry teammates, tackling steep climbs, thin air, and thousands of stone steps in support of Harry’s Pals. It’s a gruelling physical and mental challenge, but drive and determination is something Sam and the whole team have in abundance.

Team Window Ware is proud to see our leader out there pushing her limits with the glazing community for such an incredible charity that supports parent carers when they need it most.

We’re following her journey closely from back home! If you’d like to drop a message of support or pitch in a few pounds to spur Sam and the team on along those tough uphill stretches, your backing will be hugely appreciated. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far!

High heels off, hiking boots on! 🥾 Please wish our MD, Sam Nuckey luck in Peru!

With her Inca Trail fundraising challenge starting in just 10 days, she’s making sure she clocks up as many miles as possible in her hiking boots, including wearing them to work!

Sam will be trekking 26 gruelling miles at altitude to raise money for Harry's Pals Charity - a cause very close to all our hearts in the fenestration industry. She’s flying the flag for the whole Window Ware team on this epic journey, and as a business, we’re all right behind her!

If you’re able to back her (and us!) in hitting our fundraising target, every contribution means the world: https://www.justgiving.com/page/samantha-nuckey-3

Nothing like cake and coffee to jumpstart your week!

Monday is always our busiest day for sales orders and warehouse dispatches as customers stock up for the week ahead – so yesterday, we kicked off our Macmillan Coffee Morning early to power up the team for our peak day! 🚀

There was certainly no shortage of homemade bakes, savoury treats (for the non-sweet tooths!), and fresh brews to keep our team fuelled and ready to handle your incoming hardware orders and technical enquiries.

Best of all? Thanks to our team's appetite and generosity, we raised £100 for Macmillan Cancer Support 💷✨

Beyond supporting a brilliant cause, events like this help keep our team connected, energised, and having fun as they deliver the fast, dependable service your business relies on.

📷Check out some of our team going green for the cause and look at the spread!

(Did your team hold a coffee morning too, or are you waiting until Friday? Let us know which bake vanished first in your office!)
