COMPARING WINDOW MATERIALS : PROS AND CONS
Over recent years , there has been a demise in PVCu and a significant increase in demand for aluminium windows - which now offer a choice of over 5,000 bespoke shades across the RAL and NCS colour swatches - and hybrid alternatives . There are extremely innovative hybrid solutions available on the market , which deliver superb quality and unrivalled thermal and acoustic properties .
For example , at Weru UK , we manufacture a hybrid alternative to aluminium called AFINO-tec , which is 25 % lighter and allows for a 30 % increased aperture than PVCu , making it an ideal option for bespoke , architecturally designed builds which demand larger , stronger glass areas .
The AFINO-tec system has load-bearing hardware components screwed into the steel at several points , ensuring enduring functionality and long service life of the window . This steel reinforcement , paired with the GFP high-tech material in the sash , will guarantee outstanding stability and tensional rigidity . For the customer this reinforcement means exceptionally large windows can be installed , allowing up to 30 % more daylight to enter the home .
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
In many cases , window hardware is often overlooked , with a higher focus being placed on the glass itself . However , we are starting to see that built into most of the latest , innovative designs are various burglary deterrent features , with resistance class 2 tilt hardware and security corner transmission hardware becoming standard . This advancement in technology is becoming a staple with homeowners and UK architects , as the remarkable strength and durability provide a greater level of burglary deterrent , ensuring ultimate protection for the home .
