PROUD SPONSOR OF DOORS & WINDOWS DOORS&WINDOWS FLUSH SASH A HIT WITH FABRICATORS » » SALES OF DURAFLEX’S flush casement continue to flourish, with the striking and incredibly versatile window solution proving an extremely popular choice for fabricators, installers and homeowners alike. Driven by an increasing demand within the premium sector, their stylish Flush Window is enabling Duraflex fabricators to explore new opportunities across retail, new build and commercial markets. The window has been meticulously designed to imitate the much sought-after traditional aesthetics of a timber cottage window; when finished in one of the heritage foils and paired with the system houses’ new Georgian Bar Collection, the resulting kerb- appeal is undeniable. However, the Flush is not reserved solely for use in heritage properties, this year Duraflex has reported huge demand for their Flush Sash across New Build and commercial sectors; styled in a contemporary solid colour, it can effectively replicate the highly desirable aesthetics of aluminium and proves an exciting addition to the iconic Diamond Suite. Available with either full mechanical joints for the ultimate traditional finish, or opt for the fully welded alternative, a range of glazing options, extensive choice of foiled finishes and a stunning new Georgian Bar collection for enhanced aesthetics, ensure that Duraflex’s Flush Window offers today’s consumers the choice and versatility they demand. The performance data is equally as impressive; the Flush Window has recently undergone the most rigorous testing that the industry has to offer and now holds BS6375-1 for Extreme Weather Performance, PAS24 and can achieve Secured by Design with both fully welded and mechanical sash option. In addition, the Flush window enables night-vent locking as standard, features Q-lon – the world’s best weatherseal gasket, and thanks to it’s fully integrated design, it sits seamlessly within the Diamond Suite, alongside a single and double Flush Door option, offering a completely suited range of Flush products that ensure Duraflex fabricators and installers maintain a competitive advantage. With the recent introduction of a Flush Residential and Double Door – to complete the collection, Duraflex will be launching a stunning suite of accompanying marketing and sales support material in January, to help their fabricators continue to capitalise on this growing and profitable market. www.duraflex.co.uk New-build farmhouse gets a heritage touch » » WHEN RTA JOINERY WAS TASKED with transforming a newbuild farmhouse in Eastwood, the team turned to renowned manufacturers Slenderline Glass for help.
