Reaching Out Further
»»Extended reach and
increased overhang of installed windows
is provided following the addition of new
components to ISO-Chemie’s thermal
insulating and load bearing bracket system,
ISO-TOP WINFRAMER.
‘provide increased
overhang whenever
necessary’
ISO-TOP WINFRAMER system is based
around a 1,200mm length pre-fabricated
composite installation frame, which can be cut
to size on-site and secured in position using an
adhesive. This enables installers to quickly fit
windows into the insulation area between the
inner and outer walls, avoiding the need to use
metal brackets which can cause non-repeating
thermal bridging and give extensive problems
when the windows need replacing.
Now, a selection of new system brackets
have been introduced to provide increased
overhang whenever necessary. These are
available in three sizes: a 80mm wide x 80mm
high bracket to fit the majority of UK window
sizes and a 140mm wide x 90mm high option
for deeper window profiles, or for use with
combination products such as roller shutters.
ISO-Chemise’s ISO-TOP WINFRAMER
now features new system
components for extended reach
A third bracket size (200mm wide x
110mm high) is ideal for reaches from
160mm to a maximum of 200mm, providing
a robust, strong and high performance support
frame with a high load-bearing capacity that’s
capable of supporting heavier window loads as
well as bi-fold doors.

HIDDEN VILLAGE WITH A VIEW
»»It’s not every day that you get
to see your blood, sweat and tears appear
on national television, but that’s precisely
what happened to Pioneer Trading’s Head of
Aluminum Bruce Williams when the windows
he redesigned for the country’s largest village
hall in Silver End, Essex were featured in an
episode of Penelope Keith’s Hidden Villages
on Channel 4.
First developed as a Garden Village in
1926, Silver End is an unconventionally
attractive Art Deco style village set in the
heart of Essex and was created to house the
growing workforce of a local manufacturer of
groundbreaking metal windows.
“I am very proud of what we achieved
at Silver End,” said Bruce. “Because
the windows had been replaced at least
once in the lifetime of the village hall we
redesigned the windows without seeing
any original images. But by studying other
buildings in the village and contemporary
archives of the time we were able to design
windows that the Council was more than
happy with.”
