Engineering

Engineered down to the last detail

Premium-grade aluminium, elegant hardware and precise fitting combine for unrivalled performance and style.

Thermal Performance

A 45mm thermal break in both frame and sash delivers a Uw from 1.2 W/m²K, with 0.8 W/m²K achievable using high-performance sealed units. The 44mm glazing capacity supports the very best double-glazed units.

  • 45mm thermal break (frame & sash)
  • Uw from 1.2 W/m²K (0.8 achievable*)
  • 44mm glazing capacity

Slim Sightlines

A 108mm frame sightline paired with a slim 110mm panel sightline maximises the glazed area — separating spaces while flooding your rooms with natural light.

  • 108mm frame sightline
  • 110mm panel sightline
  • Pre-gasketed bead for reliable sealing

Enhanced Security

Our enhanced security option adds multi-point locking and PAS 24-compliant hardware — the standard required for new-build residential and specified commercial projects.

  • Multi-point locking
  • PAS 24 hardware (enhanced option)
  • Premium-grade aluminium construction

Precision Engineering

A double bearing system with gimbal stabiliser gives smooth, reliable operation over 50,000 cycles. Adjustable jambs and glazing let our fitters achieve a perfect, level fit on site.
