doors&windows sponsored by Ark Flood Defence Develops Flood Door Frame Revival »»Whiteline,the Sussex based fabricator is continuing to build its reputation for innovation and exclusive windows and doors. The inventor of the original FlushSASH, the 70mm PVCu alternative to traditional timber joinery, Whiteline has also introduced a unique, mechanically jointed deep bottom rail option to provide ever more authentic detailing. The innovative range for homes that requires a deeper frame, but with timberlike good looks, is the appropriately named Revival. The 85mm depth frame perfectly accommodates FlushSASH windows with stylish hardware options to revive a home, both inside and out. The distinctive deep Revival cill, specifically designed to fit the Revival frame, marks another major Whiteline investment in uniqueness and quality of design. Whiteline customers can exclusively offer a distinctive external feature that really stands out from the crowd. Instead of a standard dropped nose cill, the 163mm deep, 50mm thick, multi-chambered Revival cill, with its full length throat drip detail, creates a unique and effective feature. The cill can be personalised in a range of foils, like Irish Oak or coated to match any colour specification.

C O M »»Ark Flood Defence Network has developed an innovative flood door system which has achieved the essential ‘Zero’ leakage score in the PAS1188:1 2014 test for flood defence products using REHAU TOTAL70 outer frame profile. The Ark Flood Defence door uses a high specification multi-point locking mechanism which creates a tight compression seal between the door sash and the frame, making it more watertight than a standard door – even when faced with water at a height of up to 600mm. The door is available in a wide range of designs and colours, with a choice of different panel and glazing options. It has the look of a conventional panel door but with the added security of flood protection. Phil Woodhead, a Director at Ark Flood Defence said: “As we have seen in recent years, flooding is a year round risk in the UK now. Homeowners who fear that their properties are at risk are looking for solutions which can give them protection and peace of mind. “Our new flood doors in a REHAU outer frame offer the security and reassurance they require and, as a result, present a really great new sales opportunity for trade installers.” Ark Flood Defence supplies trade and commercial customers and offers trade customers the opportunity to become Network Partners.
