Radical
New Window
Apeer, the leading edge manufacturer of composite door sets
has entered the window market with a groundbreaking new,
structurally bonded window and door glazing system.
The radically styled new
Lumi collection is set to
bring the seamless sophistication of iconic glass structure to the residential housing market. The design-led
range of frameless windows,
doors, entrance glazing,
French doors and a bi-fold
door system was launched
to the consumer market at
Grand Designs (May 2-10,
ExCel, London).
Offering a frame-free, ‘wall of
light profile’ the triple glazed
Lumi collection is distinguished
by its fused ceramic colour border.
This is available in eight different
exterior colours and eight further
interior finishes.
Asa McGillian MD at Apeer commented: “Entering the glazing market is a natural next step for us.
We’ve in depth knowledge of the
sector and producing a fibre glass
window collection is an obvious
progression for our business.”
Asa has been the driving force
behind the company’s innovative
all-GRP composite doors and contemporary Modo collection.
Lumi itself has been in development for more than two-and-a-half
years and represents an investment of nearly a million pounds
for the company.
Said Asa: “I knew that if we were
going to enter the window market
it would have to be with a radically different product, one that would
offer an alternative to anything else
out there and would appeal to consumers looking for the kind of cutting edge design with which they
could make a lifestyle statement.”
As well as being available in a full
suite of matching designs, Lumi has
a host of construction and performance benefits:
• stormproof design with flush
proportional glazing (the double
rebate is completely hidden)
• 50mm triple glazed (6-4-4)
toughened glass for maximum
insulation and noise reduction
• 80mm GRP double rebate frame
offers exceptional U-values - as
low as 0.7w/m2k on fixed glazing panels
• Triple gasket seal
• Double euro groove allows
for versatile hardware options,
concealed hinges and window
locks
• High security hardware
• Kitemark glass and Kitemark
Lumi composite front door
options
• Variable clear glazing options
• Concealed hinges offer smooth
action, high weight load opening
and wide opening
Asa continues: “We have applied
our leading edge technology skills
to the windows sector to offer
homeowners an exciting new
alternative to PVCu, hardwood,
timber-aluminium composites and
powder coated aluminium.”
Lumi windows are available as
left and right opening options,
fixed panes and top openers.
External colour options are light
blue, black, white, cream, light
grey, Chartwell green, anthracite grey and slate blue. Exterior
finish choices are in halo white,
