Application

Suitable for medium to high-rise building that require safe, secure and reliable windows. The innovative patented aero frame technology meets the highest stands in energy-efficiency, acoustics and weather tightness.

Description

The Fully Reversible Window System is a highly innovative system specially designed for medium and high-rise applications and inaccessible locations which can achieve superior thermal performance. The system easily rotates 180° allowing safe and easy cleaning of the outside pane. It has a deep-bevelled edge that gives a striking, modern aesthetics.

  • Profiles are fabricated to BS 7412 and carry the BSI Kitemark.


Glazing:

  • Double glazing to BS 6262 can be supplied, using 24, 28, 40 and 44 mm insulated sealed units, depending on thermal and acoustic requirements - double glazed units to BS EN 1279.
  • Post co-extruded glazing beads are provided throughout.


Hardware:

  • Security features multi-point mushroom espagnolette, with night vent facility and lockable handles (dependent upon fire egress requirements).
  • All hardware meets the requirements of BS 7412.
  • Windows fitted with high security hardware meet the requirements of PAS 24: 2012.


Window operation:


  • The window can rest in the narrow night ventilation position or with approximately 100 mm opening.
  • Once the safety catch is released the window can be completely rotated.
  • The window rotates without entering the room space.
  • The special hinge assembly brings the outside of the window to the inside of the room.
