Somerset and took a selection of

stunning photographs to showcase
the premium product in this
‘extreme’ location.
Vista managing director Keith

performance and thermal
efficiency and we wanted get this
message across in an interesting
and unusual way.
“As an industry we’re used
to seeing nice images of doors
in a house but considering our
‘extreme’ brand name, we decided
to do something different and
take the door out in the wild
and obtain some memorable
photography.” Keith concludes.

STRENGTH AND
DURABILITY
BRINGS PROFIT
»»An increasingly high number
of retailers are making more pr ofit from
selling the popular Residence 9 window to
homeowners across the UK thanks to an
advanced manufacturing technology used by a
Lincoln-based fabricator.
The StyleLine R9 from Sternfenster
combines the highly sought-after looks and
handmade quality of a traditional timber
window, with the price advantage of quick
and cost-effective manufacturing. This
unique version of R9 is quickly becoming
a firm favourite with installers, as more are
discovering the quality of the seamless corner
weld, and how easy it is to promote it to the
style conscious end-consumer.
Steve Lane, Sternfenster national sales
manager, explains: “The StyleLine R9 is
different from both the mechanically jointed,
as well as the standard welded windows.
Although it is technically welded by

machinery, the quality of the finish is so high
that it places our StyleLine R9 in a class of its
own.”
“It’s not only as attractive as a timber
window, but also stronger, more durable,
and faster to manufacture, creating an allround win-win situation – homeowners love
the perfect, flawless finish, and installers
are provided with the opportunity to
achieve higher profits. Thanks to increased
productivity, we are able to offer our StyleLine
R9 at advantageous trade prices and fast
turnarounds.”

The perfectly smooth finish is the result of
a manufacturing process that welds the frame
segments on the inside. This means there is
no need for grooving, and no loss of material
at the corner joint, making the StyleLine R9
windows not only great looking, but also
stronger and more durable.
Sternfenster is the only UK fabricator to
supply the R9 window in three versions: with
mechanical joints, standard weld, and the allnew StyleLine finish.
