The full frame and cill have been designed to create a slimmer, symmetrical frame of 97mm combined with a reduced interlock sightline of 122mm, providing larger glazing areas without compromising performance. Thermal U-Values of 1.4 W/m²K (double glazed) and 1.1 W/m²K (triple glazed) assist with meeting the latest energy efficiency requirements.
