CLASSIC HERITAGE MEETS MODERN INNOVATION

» TWO NEW BROCHURES have been designed to showcase the expanding range of heritage profiles available from Reynaers Aluminium UK , which combine traditional aesthetics with modern innovations .
The commercial brochure is designed for architects and specifiers to view the range and its application in large refurbishment and regeneration projects , or simply those with a traditional aesthetic to them .
The ‘ Reynaers at Home ’ brochure is designed for homeowners and residential architects to see how these premium heritage windows and doors can help to maintain the traditional look of the property whilst offering slim sightlines and unobstructed views .
Terry Ledwith , Reynaers ’ Head of Sales for Trade and Retail , said : “ While it is the style of the property that homeowners are attracted to , it is common to see doors and windows replaced with modern systems that help to cut energy
bills through improved thermal efficiency as well as improving security .”
The brochures include the recently expanded SlimLine 68 ( SL68 ) product range , which saw the Classic and Ferro
profiles recently added to allow for a choice of frames that can be fitted with either double glazed or triple glazed units in a variety of finishes .
With a 68mm frame depth , the range is ideal for replacing
existing windows without the need for further alterations with minimalistic lines that complement character properties as well as more contemporary buildings .
Another product in the heritage collection designed to accommodate a 68mm frame replacement , is the SlimLine 38 ( SL 38 ). It features steel frames that are designed to complement character properties to allow for sympathetic renovation that protects the character of the building .
The heritage range also features the high specification MasterLine 8 , which brings design flexibility through supporting large panes and will complement a range of styles . In addition , ConceptSystem 77 is a versatile solution to update a traditional property with windows and doors that offer improved thermal efficiency .

Helping shape a sustainable future for the industry

» UNDERLINING ITS COMMITMENT to supporting the glazing sector through ongoing regulatory change , Reynaers UK has announced it has joined the Glass and Glazing Federation ( GGF ).
Already an active member of organisations such as the Centre for Window and Cladding Technology ( CWCT ) and the Council for Aluminium Building ( CAB ), membership of the GGF will further increase Reynaers ’ ability to help shape the future of the industry , with particular interest in important topics such as environmental legislation .
The news follows Reynaers ’ leading role in helping the industry to be fully prepared and informed ahead of changes to Part L of the building regulations coming into force in June 2022 . The Reynaers team held a series of roadshows to inform customers and stakeholders about changes and to discuss how they would work in practice .
Samantha Hill , Head of Marketing at Reynaers UK , said : “ The need to act now in supporting more sustainable construction practices could not be clearer . To do this effectively it ’ s critical that the glazing industry plays an active part in the conversation , working with the Government to develop the right regulations and guidance .
“ The GGF has an excellent track record in doing this , and we are delighted to join them in making sure that installers , fabricators and manufacturers can have their voices heard . We are looking forward to working with other members to ensure high standards across every aspect of the industry .”
