Specialist fabricator Capital Windows has signed a new three-year supply agreement with Epwin Window Systems . The trade and domestic fabricator has been manufacturing the multi-award-winning Stellar aluminium window and door system since 2019 and it ’ s clear why it ’ s the right system for the growing business . Peter Adams , General Manager at Capital Windows , said : “ We chose Stellar because we were impressed with the unique flush aesthetics of the aluminium system which offered something very different . The market certainly agrees – as demand for Stellar from our customers continues to rise and we have secured multiple high-value projects as a result of the system ’ s impressive credentials and high-end appeal .”

Stellar is the only aluminium system on the market to offer a genuinely fully flush window , with flush detailing inside and out . This is achieved thanks to the patented Reverse Butt Joint , that means no dummy sashes or reverse adaptor profiles are needed . And thanks to the system ’ s intelligent design protocols , it easily met the requirements of the new Part L legislation and has the added benefit of being ready for the proposed amendments to Approved Document Q too .

Capital Windows manufactures the full range of Stellar products including the new Stellar Slimline Bifold door and the New Stellar Tilt and Turn window . Peter said : “ The latest products are packed with unique features . For example , the new Stellar Slimline Bifold door benefits from tailed glazing gaskets and

an under-glass seal which breaks up the cavities behind and under the glass to enhance the thermal performance . And installation is quick due to the unique patent-pending adjustable locking stile , so the clearance between the lock and keep can be adjusted to take up cutting tolerances , eliminating the need for adjustable door jambs .

” Stellar is a straightforward system to sell into the domestic market . Consumers are immediately impressed by the flush aesthetics and appreciate its modern , contemporary appeal . And installers find it so easy to fit thanks to the pre-gasketed clip in beads which dramatically speeds up installation .”

Capital Windows is based in Uxbridge , Greater London and works with domestic , trade and commercial sectors throughout

the South East of England . For over 35 years the company has positioned itself as a specialist designer , supplier and installer of the latest generation of technically advanced window and door products .

Peter concludes : “ While the market may be slowing , we remain busy with a strong pipeline

of high-end Stellar projects . Our ambition has always been to provide cutting-edge products supported by exceptional service from an impressive team . And by partnering with Epwin Window Systems , we are on target to meet this ambition .”
