HARDWARE & SECURITY
Hardware with Italian Flair
Hardware specialist , VBH , is experiencing increased sales of tilt and turn hardware thanks to the addition to their range of the ArTech tilt & turn system from respected Italian hardware manufacturer , AGB .
» IN RECENT MONTHS VBH HAS widened the reach of the system by developing profile related parts for a number of new PVCu profile systems , including Profile 22 Optima and Rehau Artevo .
VBH advise that one of the main reasons that they have picked up so much new tilt and turn business with ArTech is the product ’ s impressive anti-corrosion performance .
ArTech is treated with ‘ Activeage Hi-Protection ’ coating that enables the hardware to withstand over 2000 hours of testing in a neutral salt spray environment .
Activeage is a three-stage finish , incorporating layers of zinc , chromic passivation with silica Nano particles , and finally an organic mineral protection coating .
In addition to its impressive weather resistance , VBH advises that another reason tilt and turn manufacturers are embracing ArTech is the system ’ s security performance . Security spec windows have been tested to forces of 5.5KN , nearly double the forces specified in PAS24 . ArTech is covered by ‘ hardware Kitemark ’ KM727991 and is listed as a Police Preferred Specification by Secured by Design .
Dan Powell , Head of Brand at VBH , says “ ArTech is built to resist the effects of harsh climates , including our wet and salty environment here in the UK . Figures of 2000 hours salt spray test resistance are phenomenal when you consider that the ‘ Very High Resistance ’ top grade of BS EN 1670 equates to 240 hours .
“ Add to that the PAS24 performance of nearly double the forces specified in the standard and you can see why AGB ArTech has become a mainstay of our range in a short period of time .”
