The window has a multitude of functions. It must provide the light, a glimpse, provide ventilation, insulates heat and sound, protects from weather, burglary and fire. For all your requirements, we have a glass that fits.
Around a third of a property’s heat is lost through poorly insulated windows, so ensuring you fit energy efficient products should be high on your list of priorities.
With our Windows the aluminium and timber are bonded to make a truly composite frame and sash. The timber element acts as a thermal break to ensure very high levels of insulation, and seals housed into the grooves within the sash create exceptional air and weather tightness. By using our high performance windows and doors, you can create an energy efficient home and a pleasant living space, whilst helping to reduce heating costs and also lessen your impact on the environment.
The sound proofing of windows is measured in dB(Rw) values, based on the amount of noise reduction at high and low frequencies. The higher the Rw value, the better the insulation. To take into account the actual background noise such as traffic, plane and train noise a correction factor (Ctr) has been introduced, expressed as Rw + Ctr.
Our Windows standard entry level double glazed windows offer excellent sound reduction – Rw = 34 dB and Rw + Ctr = 29 dB respectively. Areas of high noise pollution can be better protected by increasing the thickness of the glass – using acoustic laminated panes or adjusting the size of the cavities between glass panes.
Our Windows can offer a variety of tested glass combinations to improve whole window noise reduction up to 48dB(Rw).
