Challenging aluminium with PVCu
»»
JADE WINDOWS, ONE OF the PVCu fabricators challenging the aluminium window market with an economic PVCu alternative, has gone a step further by taking on the new Spectus Flush Tilt & Turn and Fully Reversible windows.
Jade Windows has already earned favour with several major contractors by proving the viability of PVCu over specified aluminium, using the Spectus Elite 70 system with smooth Anthracite grey foil. Now the company has become one of the first to fabricate the acclaimed new Flush Tilt & Turn and Fully Reversible windows and aims to use them to‘ convert’ many more aluminium specifiers.
The Spectus Flush Tilt & Turn and Fully Reversible frames can achieve U-Values as low as 0.8 W / m2K and a Window Energy Rating( WER) of A ++ with Argon-filled triple glazed units – saving the expense of Krypton-filled – and without insulation in the profile or expensive special reinforcements. This is due not only to the advanced chamber construction of these windows but also Spectus’ s unique Aeroframe thermal wall technology.
Spectus Commercial Sales Director, Andrew Reid, comments:“ Now, with this system, anything from schools and student accommodation to hospitals, apartment or office blocks are all within reach of any quality PVCu fabricator.”
