The 19th Century Look
»»Leading the way for an
alternative to timber products is Residence 9,
the luxury window that’s made with a modern
composite material but looks like a 19th
century flush sash timber casement. Thanks
to its nine chamber design, R9 can offer a
U-value of just 0.8 when specified with triple
glazing, significantly reducing heating bills.
Lancashire based Dekko Window Systems
was one of the first fabricators to start
manufacturing R9 and over the last 12
months Dekko have sold an average of 100 R9
products per week.
Kurt Greatrex, sales director of Dekko
explains why he thinks R9 is proving
so popular: “There is a large market of
homeowners that like the look of timber but
don’t want to deal with maintenance issues
such as rotting, peeling and rattling.”
Kurt continues: “It’s pleasing to see so
many of our trade customers using R9 to
win business at the high end of the market.
Residence 9 offers traditional aesthetics and
modern high performance - so it’s no surprise
it’s really starting to gain traction in the
market.”

Multi-Chambered Options
»»Multi-chambered
options for outer and sash
frame profiles are now available
for all three of Synseal’s
market-leading 70mm PVCu
window systems; Legend,
Shield and SynerJy. These new
frame profile configurations
are thermally efficient and can
achieve A-rated WERs when
glazed with 28mm DG units
without the need for Low Iron
glass.
Previously only available for
the popular Legend system,
multi-chambered profile designs
have generated strong fabricator
demand and so Synseal has
invested in design and extrusion
of multi-chambered sash profiles
to complete the offerings for
the company’s chamfered Shield
and sculptured ovolo SynerJy
systems.
Synseal’s Legend, Shield and
SynerJy systems can all deliver the
latest A+ and Certass A* WERs
and the multi-chambered profile
solutions will typically secure
a U-value of 1.3W/m2K using
warm edge spacer bar with Total+/
Argon/Low Iron glass. However,
the ability to achieve competitive
A-rated WERs without the need
to use Low Iron glass is a big
advantage for Synseal 70mm
PVC-U windows fabricated with
multi-chambered outer and sash
frame profiles in combination.
