SOMETHING NEW FOR A POPULAR
HERITAGE COLLECTION
» » BUILDING ON THE
stunning success of its award-
winning Heritage Flush Window,
Deceuninck has launched an
equally stunning new Flush
Door to its Heritage Collection.
The Flush Door has the only
dedicated open-out flush door
sash on the market, perfectly
complementing the Heritage
Flush Sash.
The new Flush Door combines
beautiful style with outstanding
performance. It has been
designed to replicate traditional
timber and aluminium and
comes in 26 colourways from
stock. Deceuninck’s latest
product is also #BestInClass
for weather performance and
energy efficiency, with Class 4
600 Pa Air Permeability, Class
E1050 Pa Water Tightness (full
frame) and Class A3 1200 Pa
Wind Resistance. The doorset
achieves an ‘A’ energy rating
with U-Values as low as 1.0
W/m2K with triple glazing
and 1.3 W/m2K with double
glazing. The Flush Door also
comes with dedicated PAS24-
approved hardware and is Part M
compliant for easy access.
From fabricators, the Flush
Door uses the same platform
as Deceuninck’s Heritage 2800
system and comes with dedicated
assembly jigs and pre-formed sash
corner gaskets. The Flush Door
also has dedicated reinforcement
to prevent the need for glass
bonding, while dedicated sash and
frame-positioning blocks improve
performance and transportation.

Composite door looks and feels like aluminium
» » VISTA, THE AWARD-
winning panel and composite
door manufacturer, has launched
not one, but two, new ranges of
composite doors that look and
feel just like aluminium.
The new Contemporary
Collections are part of Vista’s
existing XtremeDoor range but
will have their own stand-alone
brochure. The main difference is the
use of the new LINKS door blank
which has been cleverly etched to
replicate the aesthetics of aluminium
with a rough cast finish.
The Inox door uses finely
grained 316 grade stainless steel
glazing frames which, as well as
adding a distinctive European
flair, are guaranteed to keep their
high shine and stunning looks for
years to come.
The Urban door, meanwhile,
is glazed using a brand new
contemporary chamfered
cassette system with a colour-
matched finish to the door and
the same rough cast aluminium
feel.
Haydon Statham, Vista’s
National Sales Manager, said:
“We are really excited about
our new Collections, as these
stunning, modern, contemporary
doors will provide our existing
customers with a great product
to add to their regular range.
Combined with our stainless-
steel hardware, including long
bar pull handles, and striking
glass designs, the Inox and Urban
doors look absolutely fantastic.”

STEEL IN STYLE FOR TANNERY CONVERSION
» » STEEL WINDOW ASSOCIATION
(SWA) member, West Leigh, has won the
gratitude and admiration of a client local to
its south London premises, for the quality
of the firm’s W20 window and door package
which completed the renovation and re-
configuration of an old Victorian tannery
building.
Despite the property having undergone a
1980s refurbishment, owner Sanjay Sharma
and his architect could see the potential for
opening up and extending the building while
restoring its character.
Sanjay Sharma recounted, “Having lived
in New York and being attracted to ‘loft
42 » F EB 2019 » CL EARVI E W- UK . C O M
style’ living, we wanted to restore as much of
the building’s heritage as possible, including
revealing all of the old timbers, but also
replacing the existing wooden windows with
industrial style steel ones.”
There are three more doorsets in the rear
elevation above ground floor level, plus six
double glazed steel windows; all finished in
RAL 7015 Slate Grey Matt. The front elevation
retains the original timber front door, but has a
total of seven more W20 windows now filling
the old openings. All of the frames contain
4-8-4 IG units which, with a soft coat, low-E
inner leaf and Krypton gas filled cavity, provide
significantly better energy performance than the
fenestration they replaced.
