New ‘TimberLook’ Window
Hits The Market
East Anglia based trade fabricator
Pyramid Windows has designed
and launched a new product to help
installers capitalise on the demand
for traditional looking windows and
doors.
Legacy is a ‘timber-look’ PVC-u window
manufactured with the Synseal Synerjy system. It has a mechanically jointed
outer-frame and is coloured with Pyramid’s
exclusive Burnt Oak finish, a shade that was
developed in-house by the company.
Other authentic features include hand finished astragal bars, a dummy stay and monkey tail handles. If the consumer is looking
for more contemporary hardware, there is
an option to include a tear drop handle in
brushed aluminium.
The window may look old fashioned but
when it comes to security, Legacy is truly
cutting edge. Yale shootbolt locks and a
SAC bolt are included, giving enhanced protection against intruders. Another important
feature is the Egress Easi-clean Mega Hinge.
This uses a ratchet and pin system so it will
not ‘pop-out’ – meaning fewer service call
outs for the installer.
Ian Cowling sales director at Pyramid discusses the product in more detail. “There’s
a big market for traditional looking PVC-u
windows and we wanted to offer our trade
customers the opportunity to enter this sector. Legacy is made using modern materials
but has a features that make it look like an
authentic timber window such as mechanical joints, astragal bars and a monkey tail
handles. It gives homeowners the best of
both worlds – they can have the look of
timber but for significantly less cost and no
issues such as rotting or peeling.”
Finally Ian explains why Pyramid chose
the name ‘Legacy’. “The window is designed
to last a lifetime – or in other words it will
leave a Legacy once it has been fitted. It’s a
powerful brand and one that will help our
trade customers communicate the benefits
of the product to the homeowner.”

YOU HAVE
FITTED SECURE
LOCKS BUT ARE
THE WINDOWS
SIMPLY LIKE
UNLOCKED
DOORS TO A
BURGLAR?
Many homes have double glazed
windows where the glass is
secured by a beading on the
outside. This can easily be
removed and is one of the most
common ways that burglars get in.
Taking out the glass is quick and
makes no noise.
NO-GO GLASS LOCKS lock the
glass into the frame so that the
glass cannot be removed without
smashing the glass.
NO-GO GLASS LOCKS are
designed to be easily fitted to
existing windows and are a very
cost-effective way to make a
property even more secure.
NO-GO SECURITY PRODUCTS are
looking for companies to sell and
install our NO-GO GLASS LOCKS.
