Reynaers Aluminium Group is committed to product development and testing with access to seven test centres , an extensive product development team and over 200 engineers through its global network . PAS 24 is a standard of independent testing to measure the security performance of windows and doorsets to ensure they can resist a level of attack from an opportunist burglar . ConceptPatio 130 is the group ’ s most popular lift and slide door system and currently holds a UK market-leading position . There ’ s a good reason for this . It ’ s robust , well-engineered , Doc L compliant , high-performance , competitively priced and , like all of Reynaers ’ systems , is built to last the test of time .
HiFinity , is the group ’ s high-end option , with its ultra-slim profile , which offers a minimalistic look . It can also be fabricated to a height of over four metres and can achieve a U-value as low as 1.0W / mK ². MasterPatio is another high-performance door system offering superior insulation and recycled components , which makes it an ideal sustainability upgrade for any building project . This system can achieve a U-value as low as 0.82W / m ² K and is just one of nine Reynaers systems that
|
are Cradle-to-Cradle certified . The plan , in line with Reynaers Act – the group ’ s sustainability strategy - is to have a further nine systems Cradle-to-Cradle certified by 2024 .
Due to the slimline design of many of Reynaers ’ aluminium solutions , the mechanisms are hidden from sight to preserve the clean lines required for high-end , designled installations .
However , to push the boundaries of what can be achieved with slimline solutions , Reynaers continues to develop its products even after they have been successfully launched to constantly provide additional value and exceed
|
customer expectations .
The slimline nature of the products and the demand for concealed components means building in additional functionality and security measures poses a challenge . However , as John McComb , Technical Services Director at Reynaers , explains , the product development team thrive on such challenges , even designing components from scratch where needed .
He said : “ Product development and innovation is central to the Reynaers ’ ethos . We are not a company that stands still , instead we have dedicated teams that constantly work to enhance and upgrade our
|
products , continually moving the capability forwards .
“ The launch of a product does not mark the end of its evolution , even when a product is enjoying market success we will continue to research and test how we can bring even more additional value to it .
“ Ultimately the reason for this is to meet and exceed the expectations of customers , to make sure they have a product that does exactly what they want – and more - and to always offer high quality , innovative solutions .”
He added : “ Achieving high levels of security without compromising on the aesthetic means that components need to be specifically designed , especially in ultra slim contemporary glazing where the locking system is concealed .
“ With different products available within the same range , where a certain level of security has been specified , it is always advisable to check with a member of our technical team that your chosen product specification is PAS 24 compliant .”
