DOORS&WINDOWS MODERN TAKE ON TRADITIONAL LOOKS »»EUROCELL HAS announced a new addition to its Modus range - Modus S, a mechanically jointed flush sash casement window, which combines modern materials with an authentic traditional appearance. This latest model is possible thanks to additional precisionengineered mouldings inside the frame which remove the need for diagonal corner welds – a distinctive characteristic of standard PVCu windows. The new joint detail adds considerable authenticity to the appearance of the window and enables installers and fabricators to provide a product with the look of timber, while retaining all the optimum energy efficiency and virtually maintenance-free performance benefits of PVCu. Furthermore, it is up to 25% less expensive than the nearest equivalent PVCu flush sash product. Eurocell claims that its combination of superb looks, leading technical performance and cost-effectiveness makes Modus S the best value flush sash casement window yet. Given its traditional appearance, the new product is ideal for Victorian-style properties, cottages and conservation areas where the homeowner wishes to maintain or enhance the period look of the property, without the maintenance legacy burden of STAND OUT IN THE CROWD repainting and repairs associated with timber windows. Flush on both sides, Modus S offers sleek looks unbroken by external bead lines as, like most contemporary windows, the system is internally beaded for enhanced security standards. Featuring a unique 75mm six-chamber profile system, the Modus range delivers optimum energy efficiency performance and can achieve a U-value as low as 0.7 – surpassing Passivhaus standards. And Modus casement windows were amongst the first to be awarded the new A++ Window Energy Rating by the BFRC, confirming maximum double-glazed window performance. Modus S is available in ten colours from stock – including the white ash, cream white and anteak popular for period, premium and self-build properties. In addition, Eurocell offers a sophisticated alternative to Chartwell green among its made-to-order options. Called agate grey, its subtle hue has been appealing to customers at major exhibition s over the past 12 months. www.eurocell.co.uk/modus-s For beautiful colours guaranteed to last insist on KOLORBONDING your PVCu Profile Tel: 0121 326 8020 Fax: 0121 327 1507 www.kolorbond.co.uk C L E A RV I E W-U K .
