* Vinyl and fiberglass frames have not been around for long enough to assess their long-term durability. Because vinyl is not as strong as other frames, some vinyl frames are reinforced with metal; however, this will reduce the thermal efficiency of a vinyl window frame.

** Modern metal window frames typically consist of two surfaces separated by a thermal break made of an insulating spacer material. While this can double thermal resistance, it is still less than half that of other frames.

*** Metal window frames durability depends on the geographic location, for example, in coastal areas the effect of saltpetre (Potassium nitrate) will quickly damage aluminium.

Bedfordshire (abbreviated Beds.) is a ceremonial county of historic origin in England that forms part of the East of England region.

It borders Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire (and the Borough of Milton Keynes) and Hertfordshire.

The highest elevation point is 243 metres (797 ft) on Dunstable Downs in the Chilterns.

As part of a 2002 marketing campaign, the plant conservation charity Plantlife chose the Bee Orchid as the county flower.

The traditional nickname for people from Bedfordshire is "Bedfordshire Bulldogs" or "Clangers", this last deriving from a local dish comprising a suet crust dumpling filled with meat or jam or both.

A window is a transparent opening in a wall (or other solid and opaque surface) that facilitates the path of light and, if not shut or sealed, air and sound. Windows are usually glazed or covered in some other transparent or translucent material. Windows are held in place by frames, which stop them from collapsing in.

Insulated glass manufacture, the term "lite" refers to a glass pane, several of which may be used to construct the final window product. For instance, a sash unit, consisting of at least one sliding glass component, is typically composed of two lites, while a static window is made of of one lite. The terms "single-light", "double-light" etc refer to the number of these glass panes in a window.

The lites in a window sash are divided horizontally and vertically by narrow strips of wood or metal called muntins. More tough load bearing or structural upright dividers are called mullions, with the corresponding horizontal dividers referred to as transoms.
