19 PRO INSTALLER SEPTEMBER 2014 PRO NEWS @proinstaller1 Saint-Gobain Glass Create Stunning Effects by Launching SGG Satinovo Matt Yorkshire-based SaintGobain Glass bring to market a new sophisticated interior product; SGG SATINOVO MATT, a matt-finished translucent glass, intended primarily for interior applications and which can be used to create stunning aesthetic effects while diffusing light and emitting a purity of colour. SGG SATINOVO MATT provides a level of obscurity, offering similar benefits to patterned glass yet with a distinctive smooth and silky appearance. Its satin-smooth surface doesn’t mark with dirt or finger prints as with traditional acid etched and sand-blasted glass reducing the maintenance required. It can be cut and edgeworked as easily as clear float and assembled into double-glazed units. SGG SATINOVO MATT can be used in numerous interior design applications for both residential and commercial settings including furniture, wall cladding, doors and partitions. SGG SATINOVO MATT is available in a range of thicknesses including 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15 and 19mm. Residence 9 Flush Sash For Classic Authenticity Glazerite’s Residence 9 classical flush sash window is now in full production after what the company says was “unprecedented response” to its preview at the FIT Show. Residence 9 is the advance in the quest for traditional realism using modern materials. The Glazerite Residence 9 window is specifically offered only in mechanically-jointed and colour-foiled to replicate this 19th century timber style, which was originally made with square, not diagonal, joints and painted, never stained. Glazerite Director, Jason Thompson explained: “With such an authentic classical window, it seems only natural that we should uphold that authenticity as faithfully as possible and the reaction, both from FIT Show visitors and from a preview event earlier at the Residence 9 factory, told us that this was the right decision.” The design replicates traditional opening mechanisms and hardware, but the window is ‘A’ Rated as standard with 28mm double glazing or can achieve 0.8U-Value with 44mm triple glazed – meeting Passivhaus requirements. The launch is backed with a range of marketing support for installers and a bespoke website. www.glazeritewindows. co.uk ALL THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB T O F I N D Y O U R N E A R E S T S T O C K I S T, P L E A S E C A L L 0 8 4 4 8 8 0 0 4 3 0 O R E M A I L I N F O @ W I C U K .
