Noise Insulating Windows and Doors High Performance

Our Upvc Double Glazed Windows and Doors will outperform aluminium or wooden framed windows on parameters of acoustic insulation, energy efficiency, safety and security and cost advantages. We have found the best combination of performance while being price competitive, to give you the best value for money.

The extraordinary performance of our Double Glazed windows and doors has been independently tested by accredited laboratories, with results exceeding all expectations. We can assist you meeting BASIX and local council requirements as our double glazed upvc windows and doors boast average u-value of 1.8, that is more than 3 times better than a standard aluminium window has u-values of 5.8; up to 45Rw acoustic rating when a standard alumium or wooden window will only provide insulation to 35Rw; the air leakage was determined to be well below requirement for air-conditioned buildings of 1 litre/squared metre at 0.48 litres and 0.68 litres for inbound and outbound respectively; water penetration achievement of 1,500 Pascals for 15 minutes prior to passing the 400 Pascals penetration test, which is much better than ordinary aluminium and wood window results of 150-400 Pascals; the ultimate strength test was passed at 3,300 Pascals, while competitor aluminium windows have ultimate strength of 1,000 Pascals.

The UV weathering test indicates that the German profile supplier we use, has passed the quality requirements in all properties in the application for hot climatic zones, with radiation of upto 180kcal/cm squared/a. Further test are being conducted in regions with global radiation of 200kcal/cm squared/a and the preliminary results are promising.

The hardware on our windows and doors has also been tested at the equivalent of 10,000 operation cycles, and is high performing not only in terms of its reliability, durability but also safety and security. Because our double glazed windows and doors are subjected to additional stresses as a result of the extra glass weight in the Insulated Glass Unit, we can't afford but only use the best heavy duty hardware from trusted suppliers. We can fit hardware for any application and you can benefit from free advice with regard to the specification and use of child safety devices, locks, restrictors, anti-vandal and security features.

Please note that the results are a general score, and in many applications, even greater performance advances can be made. For instance, although a double glazed window carries a certain Rw rating which provides an indication of acoustic insulation qualities, there are variations to performance across ranges of frequency - and this can be further enhanced by changing glass width and lamination, depending on the frequency of noise exposure or application.

Upvc is the ideal frame material due to its inherent qualities of resistance to corrosion, fire, water, and sunlight. Apart from the most obvious applications in coastal areas where salt destroys the appearance and function of aluminium windows, while wooden windows must be specially treated with chemicals or paint, upvc frames have also been used in commercial and industrial applications and in areas of high pollution or for high impact winds. In addition, the upvc composition includes ultra-violet components, which reflect the sunlight and resist damage. The profile will not warp because it contains aluminium or steel reinforcement and wont need to be repainted, chemically treated, polished or cleaned. However, cleaning may be required for glass, intermittently, as desired, which will be necessary regardless of the frame material used. Our upvc Double Glazed Windows and Doors are ideal for the get and forget consumer! The low maintenance factor of upvc windows and doors exceeds that of any other frame material, saves your time and energy for the important things in life!   To obtain additional information on double glazed low maintenace

Our Upvc Windows and Doors are ecologically sustainable in many ways: they are 100% recyclable; the non-lead stabilizers make the profile safe for children (upvc products even have medical applications in neonatal care), save energy and carbon emissions by being thermally efficient; do not contribute to deforestation or alumina smelter pollution. Research shows that the most promising potential for lowering environmental impacts of windows is expected to be through the optimisation of the design and specific construction processes, which means increasing the quality of the windows with respect to their main function of saving heating energy in the use phase (e.g. lowering the specific heat loss). Raising the amount of secondary material used, or lowering the amount of material required for the same function, may be another ground for optimization of the constructions.   To obtain additional information on double glazed environmentally friendly

Our Double Glazed Windows and Doors are difficult to break and when they break, they create a lot of noise.

This is because plastic provides a tighter seal around the glass and it does not shrink like wooden frames sometimes do.   Examine all the facts on double glazed added security page

Hardware is an integral part of the window without which the window would not function, and would not open.

Window Factory Double Glazed Windows and Doors exceed expectations in many hostile environments that are not suitable for other types of materials. Due to the unique properties of upvc, the frame maintains high tensile strength and modulus over a moderate temperature range, low thermal conductivity, and excellent chemical and corrosion resistance to a variety of aggressive substances. In general upvc has good acid and alkali resistance as well as excellent vapour barrier properties and excellent UV resistance. Upvc frames provide many construction advantages due to the material's inherent corrosion resistance, lightweight, ease of fabrication, and other labor-saving characteristics. In addition, upvc frames are high precision and can be manufactured to a tolerable value of +/-3mm, which is ideal for demanding architectural applications.   Get all the facts on double glazed corrosion resistance

We only use quality extrusion that has been rigorously tested for UV radiation in harsh environments in desert or mountain conditions.

There are significant savings in electricity that will pay for your windows in 6-7 years and will reduce your CO2 emissions by about 100-150kg per year. For an indication of energy efficiency of a window or door, look for the U-value or R-value. U-value measures the overall heat transfer coefficient, or how well the window/door conducts heat and is also the inverse of the R-value. The lower the U-value, the greater a window's resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating value. Our windows boast a value of 1.8, which means they perform three times better than an aluminium framed window with a typical value of 5.4-5.6. And since windows can contribute to between 15-40% energy loss in a building, installing the most energy efficient windows available should be the intelligent homeowner's priority.   A complete guide for double glazed draft proof can be found here
