PROUD SPONSOR OF DOORS & WINDOWS DOORS&WINDOWS 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. www.deceuninck.com 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.” www.vistapanels.co.uk 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. www.steel-window-association.co.uk
