The Defender Egress Friction Stay allows casement windows to comply with Building Regulations Approved Document B for fire escape windows.

The 16"" hinge opens to a full 90º for emergency exit to comply with BS5588-1.

A composite slider with a stainless steel release lever mechanism allows cleaning access from the inside of the building to comply with BS 8213-1. This feature automatically resets to fire escape mode when the window is closed.

A self lubricating PTFE based coating on the end cap provides smooth operation, whilst a die cast support place in the bottom slider ensures consistent performance.
