Application

Particularly useful in applications where cleaning from the inside is required.

Description

Aluminium windows which use an innovative, enhanced thermal barrier manufactured from expanded polyurethane (PUR), allowing ultra-low U-values to be achieved. This top-hung window can initially open for ventilation and when needed, can fully reverse to allow the outside of the window to be cleaned easily from the inside.


With a generic Green Guide rating of ‘A’ for use in commercial projects and a life expectancy in excess of 40 years, the PURe® window range is 100% recyclable and has been designed to meet the Passivhaus standard. Tested to PAS24, BS 6375-1, BS 6375-2 and BS 6375-3.


Features and benefits:

  • High performance polyurethane thermal barrier providing U-values as low as 0.93 W/m²K when calculated as a domestic CEN Standard window.
  • Able to receive double or triple glazing up to 50 mm for maximum thermal and acoustic performance.
  • Available in an almost unlimited range of colours and finishes both inside and out.
  • Opening window frames are designed to be inserted directly into the outer frames using friction stays.
  • Choice of square, chamfered or mix and match beads.
  • Fully compatible with any Senior door and curtain wall systems.
  • Thermal barriers: Expanded polyurethane (PUR).
  • Gaskets: Manufactured in accordance with BS 3734.


Construction:

Constructed using mitred corners, joined with crimped cleats; alignment chevrons assist in clean, accurate mitres. Integral transoms and mullions are scribed around the outer frames and fixed with either screwports or shearblocks. A proprietary sealant is used on all metal joints. Opening window frames are designed to be inserted directly into the outer frames using butt hinges or tilt/ turn mechanism.
