Fit Them And Forget Them
You really couldn't get anything requiring less maintenance
than our windows! They don't need painting, so they don't
warp, flake or peel. Just occasionally oil the hinges and
locks and gently rub the frames over with a mild detergent
to keep them at their best.
Thermal Performance
Recent Central Government legislation demands that
all windows and external glazed doors, whether fitted into
new or existing buildings, meet improved thermal retention
values.
This is directly linked to the UK Government's commitment
to the Kyoto Agreement and the need to reduce CO, emissions
resulting from the production and consumption of energy -
the lower the heat loss from buildings - the lower the consumption of
energy, and so on. REHAU PVC-U profiles already have very
good thermal properties (PVC-U is a poor conductor) and when
combined with thermally efficient glass units containing low
emissivity glass, the whole window will meet the Government's
requirement that windows (and glazed doors) have a maximum
U-value of 2.0 watts/m2 kelvin.
Soundproofing Offers You Peace And Quiet
Under test, a double glazed window made with REHAU
profiles will achieve a rating of 30-40dB (decibels). Typical
ambient sound measures around 60dB in suburban conditions,
so your new windows will more than halve the noise, allowing
you to relax undisturbed.
Quality Through Time And Experience
REHAU, one of Europe's leading polymer producers,
has been manufacturing profiles for PVC-U windows for over
40 years. No other European window systems manufacturer has
anything like the breadth of experience. REHAU's expertise
in the field of window design and PVC-U technology comes from
manufacturing a vast range of polymer products, from car bumpers
to artificial heart valves.
Fully Certificated For Peace
In addition to in-house tests, all REHAU systems
are tested by independent bodies such as the British Standards
Institute (BSI) and the British Board of Agrement (BBA). Quality
control is paramount with all factories operating to EN ISO
9001 (formerly BS 5750).
Reinforcement
Windows will be reinforced with galvanised steel
where either size or location makes this a requirement.
Trickle Ventilation
Permanent ventilation can be achieved, without compromising
security, by fitting a trickle vent into the frame; ideal
for bedrooms or bathrooms where water vapour needs to be dissipated
quickly.
Made In The UK For The UK
Designed specifically for the UK market's variable weather
conditions, to exacting German engineering guidelines, REHAU
profiles are manufactured in North Wales. So we can help keep
the warmth in and the weather out. |
