3 PRO TEC 7 A window to the future Welcome to PRO TEC 7 a new intelligent window system which lives up to the highest demands regarding thermal insulation and climate responsibility. As one of the leading suppliers of innovative window solutions, PRO TEC is introducing the window for the future. With PRO TEC 7 we are making your architectural ambitions greener. The launch of PRO TEC 7 is recreating the window. Through years of experience with our intelligent wood/aluminium system and in close cooperation with leading architects and contractors we have developed PRO TEC 7. Based on glass-reinforced polyester (GRP), PRO TEC 7 ensures slimmer profiles and optimal thermal insulation. The award-winning system has given the window a whole new architectural meaning in the form of design and exceptional insulation. We have expanded the system options to ensure a greater number of solutions to match your requirements and aspirations. PRO TEC 7 meets the needs of today for energy-friendly building components and the future demands of a viable life cycle cost. The thin profiles retain the same flexibility as our traditional wood/aluminium system, whilst ensuring a highly competitive price. The future looks green.

4 PRO TEC 7 EXPERIENCE ALL THE ADVANTAGES Exceptional insulation The exceptional insulating properties of the PRO TEC 7 system ensure an optimal indoor climate. PRO TEC 7 offers minimal thermal loss, and is one of the most energy-efficient window systems on the market. Combined with increased draught resistance, the problems of internal condensation and mould build-up are avoided. At the same time the slim window system can allow a larger glass area, resulting in an increased level of natural light flooding into the rooms. Countless design solutions PRO TEC 7 offers uncompromising functionality and countless design options. It even allows you to design large glass facades with pane depths of up to 50 mm. Slim design Same functions as traditional windows Full product programme in doors and windows U-values as low as 0.61 W/m2K Edge zone temperatures of 14 C

5 05 -- Better price. Long lifespan PRO TEC 7 is manufactured on modern automated production lines that guarantees the highest quality whilst ensuring the most competitive prices. PRO TEC 7 is therefore the best choice for low-energy buildings. PRO TEC 7 boasts maintenance-free surface treatment. Green profile PRO TEC 7 is suitable for all energy classes and can be used in both passive house constructions and buildings where a very low-energy standard is required. The windows can contribute to reducing energy consumption by up to 52%. In this way, PRO TEC 7 contributes to a greener and better environment. PRO TEC 7 is environmentally friendly to manufacture During manufacture, six times less energy is used than when manufacturing aluminium GRP can be reused when the window is no longer required

7 07 -- Prospects of energy savings If the UK is to reach its CO2 emissions targets, it is important that we reduce energy consumption in new buildings and that inefficient windows are replaced in existing buildings. With further reductions in energy consumption and CO2 emissions expected, PRO TEC is at the cutting edge of developments. Even now we are ready to meet the future. With PRO TEC 7 we have developed a window system which offers extremely low heat loss as well as a large energy contribution. This enables developers to renovate and build in a more energy-efficient way than ever before. PRO TEC 7 is a safe solution for the future, in terms of energy consumption as well as for the environment. Although marginally more expensive than the PRO TEC CLASSIC system, PRO TEC 7 has a short payback time.

8 87% PRO TEC 7 wood/grp triple-glazed window system U-value 0.90 W/m2K Effective U-value 0.06 W/m2K PRO TEC 7 reduces the heat loss through the windows by 87%. Heating costs are therefore reduced so much that changing to PRO TEC 7 becomes cost-neutral already year one as the cost of the investment is covered by the energy savings.* * compared to wood/aluminium composite windows A sunny story about the building of the future Architect: Aarstidernes Arkitekter SUNSHINE HOUSE is a development project comprising of twelve two-storey town houses constructed on the principles for passive houses. Daylight is important for our mood and energy levels, something which the SUNSHINE HOUSE occupants clearly feel. Among other things, the south facade is glass from floor to ceiling. The houses are extremely well-sealed and energy-efficient, and the indoor climate is perfect due to a carefully designed window solution using PRO TEC 7. SUNSHINE HOUSE represents homes for the future offering comfortable living, durable design and very low energy consumption.

9 09 -- Grell house Architect: FrederiksenArchitects The philosophy behind FrederiksenArchitects work is architectural design in harmony with the techniques and finances available. In the UK the architect has designed low-energy buildings using PRO TEC windows. Grell House is designed as a low brick wing across the access road and a taller wooden wing that divides the plot into a morning garden and an evening garden. The brick wing houses the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms while the sitting room, TV room etc. are located in the tall and spacious wooden wing. The narrow window profiles, made of wood on the inside and aluminium on the outside, ensure a slim and elegant look. PRO TEC 7 wood/grp triple-glazed window system U-value 1.06 W/m2K Effective U-value 0.28 W/m2K PRO TEC 7 reduces the heat loss through the windows by 83%. Heating costs are therefore reduced so much that changing to PRO TEC 7 is cheaper than other window solutions already year one as the cost of the investment is covered by the energy savings.* * compared to wood/aluminium composite windows 83%

10 Hotel Svanen Hotel Svanen is a modern hotel with a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Following several extensions, it now has 50 rooms, a new reception area and a restaurant. Due to its commitment to the environment and the added financial gain in the form of lower heating bills, Hotel Svanen chose PRO TEC 7 as its window and door solution. 87% PRO TEC 7 wood/grp triple-glazed window system U-value 0.85 W/m2K Effective U-value 0.07 W/m2K PRO TEC 7 reduces the heat loss through the windows by 87%.* Heating costs are therefore reduced so much that changing to PRO TEC 7 becomes cost-neutral already year one as the cost of the investment is covered by the energy savings.* * compared to wood/aluminium composite windows

11 11 -- PRO TEC 7 wood/grp triple-glazed window system U-value 0.90 W/m2K Effective U-value 0.03 W/m2K PRO TEC 7 reduces the heat loss through the windows by 94%.* The savings from reducing the heat loss will already year one pay for the additional cost of a PRO TEC 7 solution. * compared to wood/aluminium composite windows 94% Golfen Kolding a lot of design features and less CO 2 Architect Arkitekon While several thousand passive houses have been built in Germany and Austria, they are not a common sight in Denmark and the UK. But the situation is changing! The first multi-storey passive house in Denmark has now been designed and is being built in Kolding. It is a revolutionary building which is changing the perception of how much energy and CO2 you can save by creating the perfect design. Large window sections guarantee the best possible light transmission, and all the rooms are bathed in natural light during the daytime. From the living room there are views towards the lake, the golf course and the woods, and there is also access to a large terrace. The future owners of these 40 apartments are all looking forward to spending their time in energy-efficient homes with low CO2 emissions and in an extremely good indoor climate all thanks to PRO TEC 7.
