PROUD SPONSOR OF DOORS & WINDOWS DOORS&WINDOWS A wealth of value from Epwin » » EPWIN WINDOW Systems new universal two-part cill means that door and window cills are installed in a two step process. The receiver is fitted during the construction process and the cill nose is fitted when the project nears completion.

The universal two-part cill comes with a choice of noses, all of which are compatible with Epwin Window Systems’ profile brands, Spectus, Profile 22 and Swish Windows. The cills are also available in all 28 colours in the colour ranges. Epwin Window Systems is renowned for consistent product development.
