ISO Chemie ’ s WINFRAMER specified for MK residential window upgrade

ISO Chemie ’ s thermal insulating and load bearing bracket support system has been specified for a major South East housing refurbishment programme .
The move sees dozens of WINFRAMER units being retrofitted by Sandy-based Potton Windows on pre-fabricated residential properties on a Milton Keynes housing estate over the next two years as part of a window upgrade investment project . The use of WINFRAMER will help to provide improved standards of thermal insulation , eventually bringing the properties up to zero carbon ready standards and delivering energy efficiencies for home owners together with long-term cost savings .
Passivhaus certified and fire rated to up to 30 minutes , WINFRAMER is a prefabricated installation frame , manufactured to accommodate cavities up to 250mm that allows windows to be supported independently from the face of the wall regardless of any external cladding being in place .
Quick and easy to install , the product ’ s application alongside the new window units is already reaping benefits for some homeowners , who are seeing a reduction in their heating usage with ‘ huge ’ energy cost savings .
The Potton Windows Milton Keynes project comes as a wider Government strategy continues to push to reduce carbon levels in housing that has single skin , cavity or non-cavity walls - these buildings have a reputation for losing considerable amounts of energy , heat and sound . Tom Ray , contracts manager at Potton Windows , which manufactured and installed the original windows back in the late 1980s and is now replacing them supported by ISO Chemie ’ s sealing technology , said : “ As window system designers and developers , we are always looking at smarter ways to deliver low carbon units .
ISO Chemie ’ s fit and forget products offer solutions for effective window sealing , delivering measurable airtight , acoustic and thermal sealing benefits in the process .”
Andy Swift , country director at ISO-Chemie , said : “ As new building regulations continue to bite , property owners and window contractors require smarter ways to deliver refurb projects through sustainable technologies . By working in partnership with ourselves , we are helping Potton create high-performance windows with a highly efficient installation .”
The composite WINFRAMER brackets can bear heavy windows loads , including
bi-fold doors , to provide a reliable , strong and high-performance support frame . Installation is quick with windows attached directly and secured mechanically using either standard fixing screws or fixing lugs in the usual manner .
A hinged insulation core combines with the composite wood structural bracket to become an integral part of the overall wall structure , providing compliance with window energy saving regulations ( EnEV ) and the RAL quality assurance association .
