NEW METALLIC COMPOSITE FOILS
»»
3D LAMINATES HAVE just launched a range of nongrained, metallic foiled finishes for their long lasting CoolSkin ® door skins for composite and panelled doors, that will help fuel further design inspiration for the sector in 2018 and beyond.
These new foiled finishes have been developed in conjunction with Hornschuch, harnessing their impressive Cool Colors foil technology, which has proven to offer outstanding weathering properties in both hot and cold climates. First to be launched is Alux DB 703 which resembles a slate grey base colour, yet benefitting from flecks of metallic ink in this flat application development.
Within the range that has been inspired by aluminium in architecture, are also several other flecked foils and those with a brushed aluminium appearance, in various shades of grey and blue. Fundamentally important is the fact that 3D Laminates will also be able to supply a roll of matching foil for door profiles, that can easily be processed by the leading foiling companies that service the industry, or through existing stocks from the systems houses that support the UK market.

Stylish versatility
The Swish Flush Casement Window offers quintessentially British style. It has the trademark aesthetics of the traditional 19th-century window, but, as Gerald Allen, Swish’ s Marketing Manager, points out, it isn’ t only period homes that benefit from its charming aesthetics.
»»“ THANKS TO ITS understated simplicity, the Flush Casement Window is a design that has stood the test of time. For that reason, it’ s just as at home in a contemporary modern home as it is a heritage setting.”
As Gerald says, the Flush Casement Window offers impressive versatility. Projects in contemporary settings benefit from its simple, clean lines while projects in heritage locations benefit from features such as the elegant glazing bars. And wherever the window is used the project will benefit from the quality and attention to detail of a Swish window.
The common Swish platform means installers can use beads from other systems to enable 24,28 and 32mm glazing for greater flexibility.
The Impressions colour range includes timeless and traditional shades and woodgrain effects as well as accent colours and ontrend shades.
