Windows Extra
‘ SUPERIOR AESTHETICS ’ FOR SOCIAL HOUSE DEVELOPMENT
» 300 SPECTUS FLUSH TILT & TURN Windows were specified in the development of 22 one-bedroom and 16 two-bedroom flats in Cricket Hill Road , Sheffield . Formerly the site of a social club , the site was secured for a development of a social housing apartment block .
The Spectus Flush Tilt & Turn Window is an ideal solution for both medium-rise and high-rise buildings , such as residential housing , offices , hospitals and universities . It has been specifically designed to prevent the framework from overlapping for superior aesthetics . In this project , the sleek look of the windows , combined with a slate grey on smooth colour , created the appearance of an aluminium window but at a more sympathetic price point .
The window offers exceptional performance , which was important on this project because of the hilltop location . It features a highperformance centre seal system with optional third weather seal and can achieve a Window Energy Rating of A ++ with double glazing and a U Value of 0.8 W /( m2K ) with triple glazing . Finally , 6mm toughened glass was specified to ensure maximum safety for the residents . www . spectus . co . uk
