Challenging aluminium with PVCu
»»
JADE WINDOWS , ONE OF the PVCu fabricators challenging the aluminium window market with an economic PVCu alternative , has gone a step further by taking on the new Spectus Flush Tilt & Turn and Fully Reversible windows .
Jade Windows has already earned favour with several major contractors by proving the viability of PVCu over specified aluminium , using the Spectus Elite 70 system with smooth Anthracite grey foil . Now the company has become one of the first to fabricate the acclaimed new Flush Tilt & Turn and Fully Reversible windows and aims to use them to ‘ convert ’ many more aluminium specifiers .
The Spectus Flush Tilt & Turn and Fully Reversible frames can achieve U-Values as low as 0.8 W / m2K and a Window Energy Rating ( WER ) of A ++ with Argon-filled triple glazed units – saving the expense of Krypton-filled – and without insulation in the profile or expensive special reinforcements . This is due not only to the advanced chamber construction of these windows but also Spectus ’ s unique Aeroframe thermal wall technology .
Spectus Commercial Sales Director , Andrew Reid , comments : “ Now , with this system , anything from schools and student accommodation to hospitals , apartment or office blocks are all within reach of any quality PVCu fabricator .”
