Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 Jan 07, 2011 10:53 am We are looking at buying some windows off eBay to put into the house we are building but have no idea or what their wind rating is. Does anyone know how to determine this and also how would we go about showing council our conclusions? Re: How do I determine wind rating on second hand windows? 2Jan 09, 2011 8:16 pm im not sure if this applies for the windows your buying, from experience there is 'stamp' on the glass of the window which shows manufacturer and window type. if you can grab that then maybe you might be able to find out. in most cases though its how they are fixed that affects the wind rating eg screw length and number of fixings Re: How do I determine wind rating on second hand windows? 3Jan 09, 2011 10:21 pm tomthechippy im not sure if this applies for the windows your buying, from experience there is 'stamp' on the glass of the window which shows manufacturer and window type. if you can grab that then maybe you might be able to find out. in most cases though its how they are fixed that affects the wind rating eg screw length and number of fixings The stamp is just to identify that the glass is toughened. The wind rating depends on the manufacturer's tests for that product at that size. Identify the manufacturer and ask them... In all cases the window is rated, the fixings have to be appropriate as well.
