Slim sash range with triple glazing as standard
» THE ALL-NEW SILKA SLIM SASH Window range is now available for the UK market after completing a rigorous testing process to achieve U-values of 0.8 W / m ² K . The bold new window system offers top levels of thermal efficiency with triple glazing as standard futureproofing SILKA against future legislation changes .
The team behind Apeer doors has used its expertise and technical know-how to develop this revolutionary system that is redefining the standard for aluminium glazing .
“ We ’ re really excited to be bringing SILKA Slim Sash Windows to the market ,” says Andy Jones , Sales and Marketing Director for SILKA in England and Wales . “ Their 66mm profile thickness and 44mm triple glazing at no additional cost makes them the most exciting system on the market .”
“ It ’ s not just the profile and glazing combination that makes them so impressive ,” adds Andy . “ The SILKA brand ’ s secret weapon is our ground-breaking thermal barrier , Thermafill™ . Thermafill™ is an innovative new method of insulating the cavities inside profiles , which helps to prevent heat loss . The combination of Thermafill™ insulation and super low U-values make the SILKA Slim Sash Window one of the top systems available anywhere .
“ Our Slim Sash Window is available in a dummy sash configuration , which is rare for aluminium systems . The square-edge detailing perfectly suits both contemporary and heritage properties , particularly for traditional bay windows with a dummy sash .
“ SILKA ’ s Slim Sash Windows are available in dual colour options . The finish is absolutely stunning too , with exclusive SILKtouch technology that offers a lightly textured , silky feel that stays cleaner for longer . Alongside our Slim Sash Window , we have introduced a Lift and Slide door and will soon be bringing roof lights and a range of entrance and bi-fold doors to the market .
“ We believe that SILKA is the future of aluminium windows . It is the perfect system for installers looking for an aluminium glazing system to keep them ahead of the curve .”

‘
we ’ re delighted with what they have delivered
’
The Kells , Co Meath , based company is
applying a marketing model already well proven in the composite door market to promote its range of solid insulated timber doors to both trade and retail customers .
Norman Ormiston from Konic Doors explained : “ We approached the team at The Consultancy to create the kind of bespoke door designer which we had already seen being used extensively for composite and PVC doors . From the outset , they impressed us with their in-depth knowledge of the window and door market and their technical expertise ; and the result has given us a real USP in the sustainable timber door sector .
“ It is consistently generating warm leads from homeowners and that is proving really valuable as we look to recruit new trade partners across Ireland and into the UK .”
Once The Consultancy had created the bespoke designer for Konic , they also created an integrated tool for trade customers which lets them log in to create their own designs and quotes using their pre-agreed pricing structures . They can even add a branded version of the Konic designer to their own websites if they prefer .
Norman Ormiston added : “ The joined up offering from The Consultancy meant the next logical step was for them to redevelop our website as well and we ’ re delighted with what they have delivered . They gave us really valuable advice and insight in terms of design and content , with the focus very much on inspirational images and communicating the quality inherent within our brand . The user experience has been transformed and we ’ re seeing that in terms of the level of engagement and the number of enquiries we ’ re generating .”
