Gerald Allen, Marketing Manager at Epwin Window Systems ex- plains: “Most aluminium systems use dummy sashes, couplers or reverse adaptors to ensure the windows can be internally glazed. This can detract from the overall appearance of the window and uses more resourc- es to achieve. The patent-pend- ing reverse butt joint from Stellar overcomes this problem and ensures the slim lines are preserved and uses less mate- rials. Furthermore, our intelli- gently-designed internal cleats Stellar from Epwin Window Systems was designed to push the boundaries of aluminium window and door design and offers numerous industry-firsts that mean it is faster to fabricate and simpler to install than rival systems. The brief was to develop an aluminium window and door system that harnessed the devel- opments witnessed in the PVC-U sector and give the retail and light commercial markets exactly what they needed and had been asking for. One of Stellar’s stand out features is the unique pat- ent-pending reverse butt joint ensure a clean joint is achieved offering superb aesthetics too.” Stellar consists of two open- out flush casement window options and a flush residential door. The system will soon be joined by a lift and slide patio door and a bi-fold door that offers the lightweight strength of aluminium combined with the option of PVC-U beading that means it sits more comfortably in UK homes. All products come with the option of crimped or mechanical- ly jointed finishes offering strong design flexibility. www.stellaraluminiun.co.uk SRJ WINDOWS PROTECT SCOTTISH HOMES WITH APEER INVESTMENT Composite door manufacturer Apeer is enjoying success in the north of the United Kingdom as new and existing installer partners across Scotland broaden their product ranges.
