Premium Flush Door

Glazing Bar

Viennese bars are mounted with an adhesive on either outward facing side of the glass only, or both sides. Therefore, they have no effect on the window's energy efficiency and ability to insulate. With multiple glazing, the space between panes can also optionally feature a matching bar. This makes them nearly indistinguishable from genuine old-fashioned muntins. For this reason, the Viennese technique is often used in historic buildings.

Color Paletter

Standard uPVC profiles are pristine white. Decors, or decorative patterns, mimic timber in order to give uPVC windows the same look as wood. They are applied directly at the factory during the production process in the form of a special foil. 

Note: All the decor and wood colours illustrated here appear only as an indication of the original colours. This is because the screen resolution or the quality of the graphic card.

Arched Windows (U Shaped Windows)

Invite the old-world charm of an arched window and take the aesthetic value of your home to another level. An arched window is rectangular at the base and semi-circled or arched on the top, the ones that you see in artworks. Break the monotony of rectangular windows without compromising on the inward allowance of air and sunshine.

Window Glazing

The right glazing can save you money, keep warm air in, protect your home and regulate light and temperature. Homes across the world differ in their local climate, construction materials, orientation and size. Moreover, each window of that home has a different purpose. Bathroom windows need to provide light and occasional ventilation but cannot be see-through. Skylights should provide maximum light but pose little risk for forced entry. Patio doors however should be large, offer maximum views but be difficult to break. Modern glazing offers solutions to each of these needs both alone and in combination.

Finding the Right Type of Glazing

Windows can do so much more than look good and let light in. Based on the location of the window including its orientation to the sun, what floor it is on and the room it is in, the following features should be considered:

• Sound reduction - Sometimes called soundproofing, special glazing can reduce the decibel level of outside noise
• Thermal insulation -- Insulation prevents energy loss whether warm air in winter or cool air in summer
• Security - Options like laminated safety glass and impact resistant glazing can make glass very tough to break. 

A ground level patio door in a busy area should include all of the above three features for example. Second floor windows, however, would only need insulation and sound reduction. Insulated glazing alone would suffice for a suburban home for example

Thermal Insulation

Imagine a heating vent or radiator right in front of a big hole in the wall. Every minute your heat is running, you're wasting both energy and money while hurting the environment. Old windows and poor glazing aren't that different. Whether a window, door or a conservatory, the type of glazing used in your home plays a significant role in its insulating ability, your home's energy efficiency overall and of course your monthly bills!
The U-value defines the amount of heat moving from inside to outside through one square meter in one per second – in other words, it measures how well something insulates.

Noise Reducing Glazing

Noise pollution in larger cities is an important aspect that can even cause health damage. Effective noise absorption properties depend on several factors:

• The thicker the pane, the better the absorption value (6 mm is recommended).
• Cast resin PCB foil or gas fillings in the space between individual panes.
• The lower the stiffness of the pane, the better its noise insulation properties.
• The greater the space between panes, the better the noise reduction

Proper installation of the frame is also critical and just as important as the glazing itself. The highest level of soundproofing can stop noise from coming through gaps between the window frame and masonry.

Privacy Glass

Everyone is familiar with frosted glass, the most common form of privacy glass. It can be seen in doctors' offices, meeting rooms and public buildings everywhere. In fact, if you have a bathroom window, it likely has some form of ornamental glazing that prevents people from seeing in. Privacy glass is translucent and comes in a variety of patterns from simple frosted to rain like patterns.

Insect Protection

Windows are made to be opened. But when insects end up buzzing about indoors, you may start thinking twice about enjoying the fresh air from your open windows. Luckily, fly screens are available nowadays to fit any window or door type, whether permanently installed or removable. Keep unwanted pests out of your home with one of our made to measure solutions
