Application

Innovative or traditional new builds and renovation/extension projects where performance is critical.

Description

The Kruger Performance timber tilt and turn window, part of the Frontier range, is designed to meet the needs of architects and specifiers working on innovative or traditional new builds and renovation/ extension projects where performance is critical. This range offers a combination of extreme energy efficiency and timeless aesthetics.

 

Frontier Range of Performance Windows:

Designed to target the future build market, but without the typical downsides of super-efficient products, the Frontier range is an advanced window range. Constructed from FSC-Certified Accoya® with a proprietary vacuum cavity unit and a specially adapted Italian paint system, the range combines energy efficiency and an extended low maintenance service life into a well-designed package suitable for most styles of building.

 

Kruger Performance Timber Tilt and Turn Window:

  •  Vacuum cavity glazing combined into a proprietary triple glazed unit, delivering centre pane U-values of 0.4 W/m²K. Thinner unit allows for more traditional window dimensions and better aesthetics.
  • Locking around the entire perimeter of the frame gives enhanced security performance.
  • Integrated water-bar system to ensure weather-tightness despite the inward opening functionality.
  • Sophisticated ironmongery allows considerably larger opening casements than the traditional outward opening system. This allows a wider variety of designs and a more modern appearance.
  • All products can be securely locked in an inward tilt to allow ventilation at night. The product will be rain-proof in this position in all but the most severe weather.
  • Manufactured from Accoya®, the best longevity of any timber together with exceptional energy efficiency.
  • Double gasketed system achieving the highest possible classifications of air permeability, resistance to wind load and water tightness.
  • Key lockable espagnolette ironmongery is included with a range of finishes.
  • Dummy sashes included as standard to give a balanced look of non-opening parts of the window. 
  • All traditional shapes and sizes are available in the same profile to deliver consistency throughout the build.
  • Slender 22 mm glazing bars and thin profile of the beading reduce the perceived width of the sections. External bar designed to replicate the traditional appearance of putty pointing.


Features and benefits:

  • U-value 0.94 W/m²K.
  • Class 4 air permeability.
  • Class 4 weatherproofing.
  • Part Q Compliant.
  • Part L Compliant.


Guarantees:

  • 10 year no maintenance paint warranty.
  • 5–8 year no maintenance stain warranty.
  • 10 year warranty on workmanship and materials.
  • 60+ year expected service life.
