Ecoclad double-glazed windows
High performance timber/alu-clad double-glazed windows
'• Ecoclad windows offer an environmentally responsible solution to low maintenance window specification.
• FSC 100% certified laminated Redwood or oak is used for all products. Made using three layers of laminated timber and cut using the latest European precision tools to create a highly stable, engineered product.
• Ultra-efficient double glazing offers a whole window U value of 1.4 W/m2K and a centre pane U- value of 1.1.W/m2K . Argon gas fill and low E coating work to save energy, increase comfort and keep heating costs down.
• Exterior ventilated aluminium cladding system. The cladding gives complete protection from wear and tear caused by the elements and is the answer to maintenance issues for larger and taller buildings.
• Warm edge spacers help maximise thermal efficiency and virtually eliminate cold edge condensation.
• Espagnolette locking handles as standard.
• Timber finishes are water based and microporous, producing a long lasting finish that doesn't crack or peel. A wide choice of finish colour is available on both timber and aluminium cladding.
• Inward opening. Tilt & turn/ arched/ raked/ circular window options.'
