building envelope specialist Schueco UK
has just launched a new version of its highly
successful ASS 77 PD panoramic door
system.
Designated the Schueco ASE 67 PD,
the new door provides the same minimal
sightlines with an outer frame that remains
concealed in the building structure,
resulting in a huge panoramic area of clear
glass.
First, the door can now be configured in
a variety of opening combinations utilising
two, three or four leaves. Depending upon
the specification and the level of insulation
required.
Using a simplified method of
construction which makes it easier to
manufacture, the Schueco ASE 67 PD door
is available in two options with different
outer frames.
The slimmer of the two options, which
has a 57 mm frame, is especially suitable for
use in renovation projects; it offers a lower
overall frame cost but without impacting
on excellent levels of sound insulation (up
to 46 dB).
The deeper 90 mm option caters for
even greater weather performance as it
delivers water tightness to 600 Pa while
maintaining the aesthetics and sound
insulation of the 57 mm system.

Trade have ceased production of 400 standard
PVCu window and door frames each week,
to solely focus on the manufacture of The
Residence Collection.
Having been faced with dwindling single
digit net margins, Bob Wallis, managing
director of Window Tech Trade has made the
decision to outsource standard PVCu frames
and turn to The Residence Collection in order
to position his business for the long-term,
with the potential of strong double-digit net
margins and growth. He said: “I believe the
market for standard white windows is limited
in terms of financial returns. For us it’s just not
a sustainable business model as a manufacturer
and so we’re fully focused on doubling our
capacity of The Residence Collection to 150
frames per week.”
With relatively low capital outlay costs for
the doubling of capacity and the benefit of
single length profile and 4-pack bead ordering,
there isn’t the issue of having too much cash
and space tied up in stock for companies such
as Window Tech Trade.
Sarah Hitchings, sales and marketing director
of The Residence Collection commented:
”Window Tech Trade are a perfect example of
the mid-sized fabricator looking to get out of
the low margin mass market.”

Reversible window coming soon
» » LEADING PVCU SYSTEMS HOUSE
Liniar is set to extend its innovative range even
further with the introduction of a reversible
window, which will offer a convenient,
stylish and safe option for difficult-to-access
locations.
Ideal for high-rise projects, the moving pane
rotates through a full 180° cycle, allowing the
external glass of a Liniar reversible window
to be safely cleaned from the inside of the
property. The rotating mechanism keeps the
moving pane from intruding into the inside of
the room
Designed from scratch by the same team
of industry experts that created the rest of the
range, Liniar’s brand new reversible window
will be perfect for commercial applications
- and with flat, chamfered lines, it offers a
contemporary finish.
With the inner sash flush on both the
inside and the outside, and featuring one of
the slimmest PVCu profile sightlines on the
market.
Utilising patented features such as Liniar’s
co-extruded bubble gasket, thermal dam
and glazing flipper ensure a draught-free
installation with high thermal efficiency – and
Liniar reversible windows also benefit from
an easy fit, one-piece drip bar with concealed
fixings to help protect the window from severe
weather conditions.
