APEER’S EXCLUSIVE
NEW LOCKING SYSTEM
»»Apeer is unveiling its new
easyPilot Nordic window locking
system at this year’s FIT Show.
The system has been developed
in association with hardware
specialist, Winkhaus.
Unlike a standard restrictor,
which only opens to one position,
the easyPilot Nordic system allows
the window to be locked into any
opening position, simply by using
the window’s handle. The system
is exclusive to Apeer’s Lumi
windows in the UK and will feature
on all the company’s Lumi window
products at The FIT Show.
Asa McGillian, Apeer’s Managing
Director and inventor of the Lumi
window, said: “We have been
working with Winkhaus for years
and we know from experience
that they supply reliable, high
quality products. I like to think we
re-invented the window with the
‘edge to edge’ glazing that Lumi
offers, but now we’ve developed
it one stage further with the
addition of the easyPilot Nordic
locking system. It’s a neat and
functional design that offers far
greater flexibility than a standard
restrictor.”
The easyPilot Nordic window
locking system is a 22mm backset,
torsion bar brake lock that has
been developed and rigorously
tested by Apeer and Winkhaus.
To see a demonstration, and
to try out the easyPilot Nordic
window locking system, visit

IMPROVING SEALING
AND PERFORMANCE
New ISO-BLOCO WIN2WALL multi-level
sealing tape from ISO-CHEMIE combines
excellent performance with competitive cost and
is specifically designed for sealing the perimeter
joint between windows, doors and walls.
»»Not only does ISO-BLOCO
WIN2WALL enable windows and
doors to be quickly and easily
sealed from inside the building, the
product will seal gaps from 2 mm
to 8 mm, which will accommodate
the vast majority of UK window
installations, and will come in 2
widths to give the extra thermal
insulation equivalent to A Rated
(40mm tape) or A+ and A++
windows (65 mm tape).
Among the key advantages of
WIN2WALL are not only its thermal
performance, but it is also weather
tight to 600 Pa (Violent Storm Force
11) and has excellent acoustic
insulation properties. Installing a
window or door using WIN2WALL
will give the window an equivalent
or better thermal property than the
window unit itself. Even the smaller
40mm size tape will give the joint
between the window and wall a
U-Value of 1.2, equivalent to an
Energy A-rated window.
Other comparable size tapes
on the market will not match the
1.2 U-value or the performance
of an A-rated window. The larger
WIN2WALL size tape will give an
A-Value of 0.7, which is even better
than a triple glazed Passivhaus
standard window. WIN2WALL
is applied to the window prior
to installation and has very slow
expansion speed to give ease of
installation for large windows or
even patio doors.
WIN2WALL also complies with
the Zero Carbon Hub project by
using materials that fill the gap
between ‘designed performance’
and ‘built performance’ to give a
guaranteed on site performance.
This makes WIN2WALL particularly
useful to new build developers
who are looking for excellent and
consistent performance across
potentially large installation
projects.
