Doors & Windows

CAPITALISING ON NEW BUILD OPPORTUNITIES

» SPECIALIST FABRICATOR CAPITAL Windows is leveraging the advantages of Stellar Aluminium from Epwin Window Systems to advance its presence in the new build sector . Capital Windows is based in Uxbridge , Greater London and works across the new build , domestic , trade and commercial sectors throughout the South East of England . For over 40 years the company has positioned itself as a specialist designer , supplier and installer of the latest generation of technically advanced window and door products . Leveraging its experience and commitment to new build excellence , Capital Windows continue to meet the evolving needs of the sector with Stellar Aluminium .
Peter Adams , General Manager at Capital Windows , explains : “ All Stellar windows and doors are compliant with Part L of the Building Regulations , enabling us to provide customers with a complete new build solution utilising a single aluminium system . This simplifies
the process and ensures consistent quality and aesthetic appeal throughout the entire construction project .
“ Stellar ’ s sleek and modern design resonates well with housebuilders . Installers also appreciate its user-friendly features such as its pre-gasketed clip-in beads which speed up installation . It ’ s become our go-to aluminium system .”
Stellar ’ s windows and doors can achieve a U-value of 1.2 W /( m ² K ) with triple glazing , the regulatory standard for the new build space . This includes the Stellar Flush
Tilt & Turn Window , Flush Casement Window , Fully Flush Casement Window and the Bay Window , as well as the Flush Residential Door , Flush French Doors , Lift & Slide Door , Slimline Bifold Door and the new Stellar Inline Sliding Door .
Unlike other aluminium systems , the absence of workarounds to achieve compliance reduces profile usage by 30 %, streamlining fabrication processes and enhancing profit margins through improved material utilisation .
As testament to Stellar ’ s credentials , Capital Windows has secured many lucrative contracts , including several high-end new build projects . Notably , the company supplied multiple Stellar windows and doors for a prestigious £ 2.5 million bespoke new build property . Peter added : “ The high-end specification on this project was exacting , but Stellar more than delivered .”

NEW VARIATION TO THREE PIECE FRAME SYSTEM

» ODL EUROPE HAS LAUNCHED ITS new TriSYS ® Modern cassette , a contemporary design variation of its market-leading TriSYS ® three piece frame system .
Bryan Bultema , Managing Director at ODL Europe , said : “ The new TriSYS ® Modern cassette is a sleek framing system that combines the unique fitting properties of the original TriSYS ® three piece frame system with streamlined contemporary styling that ’ s perfect for modern doors .”
The new TriSYS ® Modern cassette has a sleek , low-profile aesthetic with a subtle texture that blends seamlessly with any door finish . It ’ s offered in a range of sizes and colours including White , Black and Grey .
The system utilises the proven TriSYS ® three part framing system that saves time and improves manufacturing efficiencies . The outer frame and inner cassette screw together , allowing the same system to be used for a wide range of door thicknesses , while the inner frame snaps on for a uniformly clean look . No preparation , no adhesion promoter and no special primers are needed , plus the innovative clip system eliminates screw hole covers , providing a clean , modern finish . A pre-sealed variation is also available .
Bryan said : “ The TriSYS ® cassette system has been a cornerstone of our business for many years , and we have built on this proven foundation with the new TriSYS ® Modern frame system . It offers the sleek modern aesthetics that are so popular without compromising on the performance , serviceability and assembly convenience .”
The TriSYS ® Modern ’ s intelligent design makes it easy to glaze in both the vertical and horizontal positions , while also making it easy to deglaze from the inside if required .
Security is assured because the cassette is PAS 24-compliant when fitted as part of a complete door assembly .
The new TriSYS ® Modern cassette is part of ODL Europe ’ s impressive range of glazing cassette solutions . The range also
includes the original TriSYS ® cassette , Spotlights ® contemporary glazing frames and the Craftsman Framing System , which is designed with architectural style in mind .
