NEW 90MM SYSTEM
» » LINIAR’S LATEST
launch at the FIT Show has
seen the innovative company
join an elite band of window
systems that are able to comply
with the exacting Passive House
standards – EnergyPlus 90.
The new 90mm system, with
its 9-chamber profile, has been
designed to meet the triple
challenges of thermal efficiency,
noise reduction and security,
while still maintaining the
appearance and operation of a
70mm system.
EnergyPlus 90 from Liniar:
thermal efficiency, security and
noise reduction in one system.
Liniar’s Design &
Development Director, Adrian
Redshaw, explains, “With more
developments on recycled
brownfield land, often near
busy transport links, architects
are tagging acoustic criteria in
addition to thermal and security
specification.
Passive House certification
- achieving U-values as low as
0.7 W/m²K, with Windows
Energy Ratings up to A+40
for triple glazing and as low as
0.5 W/m²K with quadruple
glazed windows. A full-sized
EnergyPlus 90 window
surpassed 3000Pa (155mph) in
weather testing.
Secure and serene – Meeting
PAS24:2016, fully compliant
with Part Q building regulations
and achieving Secured by
Design accreditation, with an
Rw of 42 – more than double
the audible sound reduction of a
standard double glazed unit.
Still stylish - 90mm system
looks and operates the same as a
70mm system, maintaining the
attractive appearance and ease
of use.
