Polar Windows enjoying success
with the Optima Flush Casement
Window from Profile 22
Domestic and com-
mercial fabricator and
installer Polar Windows
added the Optima Flush
Casement Window from
Profile 22 to its portfolio a
year ago. Managing Direc-
tor of Polar Windows, Alan
Crowe, says it was a wise
decision: “We’ve seen a 30%
growth in requests for the
Optima Flush Casement
Window since this time
last year as more and more
homeowners see the bene-
fits of what the window has
to offer.”
The Polar team have also
been impressed by the qual-
ity and intelligent design of
the Optima Flush Casement
Window. The design is
based on a traditional Brit-
ish timber cottage window
and is generally acknowl-
edged to be the best-look-
ing and most authentic
flush casement window on
the market today. It offers
market-leading thermal effi-
ciency. And because it’s part
of the award-winning Op-
tima range, it has features
such as common ancillaries
across the entire range to
minimise stockholding plus
easy-to-locate hardware,
optimised drainage and per-
fectly positioned seals for
long-lasting performance.

LET THE FRESH
AIR IN AND
KEEP FLIES AND
WASPS OUT!
The simple and effective Ascena Sliding Flyscreen
offers call-back and add-on sales opportunities
for all bi-folding and sliding door installations.
After the record-breaking
summer enjoyed by Britons
everywhere during 2018,
sales of French, sliding
and bi-folding doors are
expected to hit new levels
during the 2019 spring. But
last summer also reminded
those of us with garden
doors what a nuisance
flies and wasps and even
the neighbour’s cat can be
when we are trying to enjoy
a glass or two as the sun
goes down.
Just as sliding and bi fold-
ing door designs have been
revolutionised in recent
years then so too have fly-
screen designs and perfor-
mance with the introduction
of the Ascena Pleated Insect
Screen, to promise an ef-
fective solution to flies and
wasps invading homes.
Offered to fabricators
and installers as an add-on
to almost any style and
brand of French, sliding
and bi-folding door, the
Ascena Insect Screen is
highly effective at allowing
fresh air in and keeping
every type of flying insect
and other pests out, whilst
also offering an extra layer
of protection and shade
against the rays of the sun.
Smoothly and effortlessly
sliding open and closed in
seconds the Ascena Insect
Screen is manufactured
from high-grade aluminium
and may easily be retrofit-
ted against most types and
brands of French, sliding or
bi-folding door.
Aluminium extrusions,
available in two standard
colours – Anthracite Grey
(7016), Pearl White – sup-
port high quality polypro-
pylene mesh screens that
are tough and cannot be
torn or damaged in normal
use. High strength, braid-
ed tensioning cords run
horizontally to stabilize the
screen and control vertical
orientation of the handle
bar. These tensioning cords
run over precision bearings
to ensure the high quality,
polypropylene mesh slides
smoothly with a low oper-
ating force.
The tensioning cords
also prevent the mesh
from blowing out in windy
conditions. The Ascena
Insect Screen withstands
wind gusts up to 20mph
before the mesh leaves the
channel.
