Window Extra
NEW FLUSH VARIANT OF
POPULAR ALUMINUM SYSTEM
» ALUK HAS ADDED YET ANOTHER
variant to its hugely versatile 58BW window
system, with the launch of the new 58BW
Flush.
This gives AluK customers a clever and cost-
effective way of targeting the fast growing flush
window market with a window which requires
just three new flush profiles and no changes to
their existing 58BW fabrication set ups.
Marketing Director Sioned explains: “The
58BW Flush offers a perfect combination of
flush finish and the option of slim sightlines,
which makes it ideal for contemporary new
builds and refurbishment projects replacing
slimline timber or even steel. It’s a natural
extension to the 58BW system and, like
the rest of the range, is quick and easy to
fabricate.”
The new AluK 58BW Flush is available
with a choice of contemporary sashes to create
either 70mm or slimmer 46mm sightlines.
The sharp shadow line can be achieved with
open-out sashes in bottom, top, side, French
casement, and multi-light opening, fitted
using dummy sashes.
AluK is confident that it is once
again leading the way with the
58BW Flush in terms of design
innovation. For example, it features
a double rebate which means it can
achieve market leading weather
performance even in more exposed
locations, and it utilises common
hardware with the existing 58BW
and Heritage ST windows which
ensures that it can withstand a full
range of weather conditions.
The 58BW Flush achieves greater weather
performance with friction stays on the side-
hung windows, where alternatives in the
market offer peg stays that are vulnerable to
damage in windy conditions.
Like the rest of the 58BW range, the 58BW
Flush is available in stock on a five-day lead
time in grey, white and black single and dual
colours.
Coinciding with the launch
of the new window, AluK
has unveiled a new range
of handles to suit the new
Flush addition as well as the
other styles within the 58BW
range: Tilt-Before-Turn,
Steel Replacement and standard casement
windows. The handles are suited aesthetically
across open-in and open-out and are available
in colour-matched Anthracite grey as well as
black, white and silver. Whilst offering more
choice, the new handle range is a stylish and
cost-effective choice for fabricators.
