THANKS TO A VARIETY OF aluminium window and doors , large expanses of glazing streamline the transition from interior to exterior spaces of Burnedge Barn , offering a feeling of freedom and a connection to the farmland in Grasscroft , Oldham .
Exceptionally narrow frames and superior performance characterise Slimline 68 , the window system launched to the trade just last year .
The outward opening window was used by fabricator Dekko Windows as it has been designed specifically to meet the needs of UK homeowners , allowing them to choose a product that gives them maximum daylight access whilst keeping their properties warm and secure .
With no compromise on thermal efficiency or weather resistance , the system is designed to be timeless whilst complementing both contemporary and – as in the case of Burnedge Barn – the most traditional style homes .
SL 68 can achieve a Window Energy Rating of A ++ and a U-value of 1.0 W / m2K with triple glazing . When it comes to double glazing , the Window Energy Rating is A , with a U-value of 1.4 W / m2K .
Rebecca Cope , Marketing Manager at Reynaers , said : “ This level of market-leading performance brings extra value to fabricators and installers , offering a strong selling point . What ’ s more , SL 68 ’ s security meets PAS24 and Secured by Design standards , as well as achieving Class 4 air tightness .
“ The strength of the aluminium frame and the clever design make it possible to create windows with large panes of glass . Ease of maintenance and durability make it the perfect window for fabricators , installers and homeowners too .”
The window has a wind-resistance rating of E2400 , and water-resistance of E1050 . As the name suggests , SL 68 has a frame depth of 68mm , and can carry a maximum glass thickness of 43mm .
The CS 77 French Style door and the CF 68 bifold door were also used by Dekko Windows on the project to help bring the outside in .
Answering the needs of contemporary architecture , the Concept Folding 68 aluminium sliding folding door combines design , comfort and space efficiency . The wide range of possibilities to unfold numerous glass panes makes the borders between the interior and exterior disappear .
The system comes with profiles , gaskets and gear combinations that enable fabricators to assemble the selected option more easily , and with more efficiency and accuracy .
Major advantages in efficiency and flexibility in the fabrication of the folding system are achieved by its versatility , as a relatively low number of profiles offer a
maximum number of configurations – all offering inward and outward opening options with the same profiles and accessories . The vent profile requires only one gasket type , and no brush or supporting profile brush is required . In additon only one integrated carriage type and one hinge type to fold the vents are required for all configurations .
With the installation of most other bifold systems , it is mostly recommended that the last vent only be measured and fabricated after all the others have been installed . This design features an innovative adjustable side profile , which makes it possible to install the complete folding wall onsite . It also allows fabricators to easily adjust tolerances resulting from assembly deviances to deliver optimal performance in air and water tightness .
The folding principle of this high quality bi-fold door allows fabricators to combine thermal comfort and transparency , with the choice to open to the inside or the outside of the building . The bifolding door is available in every colour and finish and there is the possibility of having a different colour for the interior and the exterior , to perfectly match the building .
