windows The 19th Century Look »»Leading the way for an alternative to timber products is Residence 9, the luxury window that’s made with a modern composite material but looks like a 19th century flush sash timber casement. Thanks to its nine chamber design, R9 can offer a U-value of just 0.8 when specified with triple glazing, significantly reducing heating bills. Lancashire based Dekko Window Systems was one of the first fabricators to start manufacturing R9 and over the last 12 months Dekko have sold an average of 100 R9 products per week. Kurt Greatrex, sales director of Dekko explains why he thinks R9 is proving so popular: “There is a large market of homeowners that like the look of timber but don’t want to deal with maintenance issues such as rotting, peeling and rattling.” Kurt continues: “It’s pleasing to see so many of our trade customers using R9 to win business at the high end of the market. Residence 9 offers traditional aesthetics and modern high performance - so it’s no surprise it’s really starting to gain traction in the market.” For more information contact Dekko on 01614060055 or visit www.dekkowindows.com One, Two, Three - Multi-Chambered Options »»Multi-chambered options for outer and sash frame profiles are now available for all three of Synseal’s market-leading 70mm PVCu window systems; Legend, Shield and SynerJy. These new frame profile configurations are thermally efficient and can achieve A-rated WERs when glazed with 28mm DG units without the need for Low Iron glass. Previously only available for the popular Legend system, multi-chambered profile designs have generated strong fabricator demand and so Synseal has invested in design and extrusion of multi-chambered sash profiles to complete the offerings for the company’s chamfered Shield and sculptured ovolo SynerJy systems. Synseal’s Legend, Shield and SynerJy systems can all deliver the latest A+ and Certass A* WERs and the multi-chambered profile solutions will typically secure a U-value of 1.3W/m2K using warm edge spacer bar with Total+/ Argon/Low Iron glass. However, the ability to achieve competitive A-rated WERs without the need to use Low Iron glass is a big advantage for Synseal 70mm PVC-U windows fabricated with multi-chambered outer and sash frame profiles in combination.
