A FLUSH SASH FOR EVERY BUDGET
The Glazerite UK Group has become one of very few fabricators to offer a choice of three flush sash systems , with the addition of the acclaimed Residence 7 system from the Residence Collection alongside its existing Residence 9 and Halo flush sash choices .
The R7 is more than just a price-competitive companion to the original and well-established R9 – its slimmer 75mm front-to-back profile means it is quicker and easier to install in most retrofit settings without having to cut back the plaster .
The slimmed-down size doesn ’ t mean compromising on thermal , acoustic and security spec however , with its seven-chamber construction more than matching rival systems and achieving WER up to A + and a Passivhaus-standard U-Value of 0.8 W / m ² K .
Glazerite is not only one of very few national fabricators to offer three flush sash options but is believed to be the only one with the R9 , R7 and Halo variants .
Frames can also be supplied unglazed to give installers more glazing choices as well as ease of transportation .
