PVC-u windows and doors are built to last. There are no worries about repainting in Spring. You can stay warm and comfortable all through the Winter, safe in the knowledge that the excellent properties of your PVC-u windows and doors are holding their own against the elements. PVC-u windows and doors are built to withstand the worst of winter weather. They will keep the cold at bay and improve the warmth of your home. Special hermetically sealed glass units maximise heat retention, while keeping down your heating bills. PVC-u is no longer restricted to white only. A wide range of woodgrain and coloured finishes are available to complement your home. State of the art locking systems protect your home. In independent tests, PVC-u windows and doors proved to be the most resistant of materials against break-ins. We can give you advice on planning permission, security levels, glass quality and maintenance to ensure that the product you want is the product you get. No one can deny the impact on the industry made by the advent of PVC-u. First developed over 60 years ago, it offers a highly cost effective and long lasting alternative to traditional window frame materials. Technological advances have ensured that the versatility and flexibility of PVC-u respond to the stringent design and performance criteria required by specifiers and architects - thermal and acoustic insulation, low maintenance, extensive glazing options a wide choice of colours and finishes- the benefits often outweighing those of wood or aluminum. We
have compiled this guide to facilitate the specification process
of PVC-u. it gives step by step information on the whys and wherefore
which govern the use of PVC-u, and provides a technical breakdown
of its profile range. The tilt and turn window can accommodate the demands of low level fenestration in exposed areas to high rise tower blocks with no detrimental effect on performance. The full depth Eurogroove will facilitate high security hardware and the necessary ironmongery to operate the versatile sash movement. The tilt mode offers secure ventilation while the turn mode allows complete access for cleaning. The window will allow for the tilt mode only to operate creating safe and secure inside conditions. Glazing is effected from the inside using either co-extruded beads or fir tree type gasketed beads. Transoms can be welded or mechanically coupled depending on the application under consideration. Windows can be faced concealed or drained via the cill with moisture directed away from the reinforcing chambers at all times. Out TILT and TURN WINDOW SUITE is available in white finish, woodgrain, golden oak or base colour applied film with beads suited to match. Trickle vents can be fitted to order provide statutory air changes. Reinforcing is required as follows: a) Outer frames when height or width exceeds 1400mm b)Vents frames when height or width exceeds 800mm c) Transoms where length exceeds 800mmNB. These figures represent a window not requiring a specific load. Refer to wind loading tables relating to specific ground and weather conditions. Sound Insulation A sound reduction can be achieved of 30-35dB using a double glazed unit with a 12mm air space. Thermal Insulation An outer frame with sash using a standard double glazed unit will achieve 2.7 w/m2C. |
