3 Windows affect the quality of life. A feel good climate of light and air everyone needs this to live. The task of a window is to provide active assistance in satisfying these basic needs. For instance, windows must always allow adequate light to pass inside, also with consideration to the varying hours of sunshine and the light's varying incident angles from season to season. Yet we demand even more from a window: for example, an attractive design or reliable protection against other environmental effects. No matter whether day or night, summer or winter, rain or sun. All this is provided by PVC-U windows of TROCAL profiles today. Easily. Moreover, they exhibit even more outstanding properties: for instance, they are extremely weather resistant, and owing to their smooth surfaces are very easy to clean and virtually maintenance free. This makes TROCAL windows a decisive feel good factor guaranteed! Windows give your home a face. Windows give structure to house facades. They emphasise facades or highlight particular elements. Following these values there has been a growing trend in architecture of working with glass elements. The ease with which PVC-U can be moulded gives rise to a wide and diverse range of designs. This means that anything is possible, whether for simple rectangular frames, windows with hinged skylights, round arches, or complex geometries. What you should watch out for when installing windows: The connection to the wall must be the right one. Only when windows are installed correctly are heat losses effectively reduced. The installation must keep out the wind and provide an optimal insulation zone. When buildings are renovated, all windows must be completely replaced with designs tailored to the new building situation. 4 5

Set new trends. Design with rails. Besides shapes and colours, rails and other decorative trims present additional possibilities for the individual design of windows and doors.

Here a distinction is drawn between "genuine" rails that actually separate individual panes and so called "imitation" rails that are glued on or inserted between the insulating panes.

TROCAL provides you with three different technologies for designing surfaces. Three possibilities of bringing more colour to life.

DecoStyle the laminate colour range This DecoStyle laminate system from TROCAL gives windows and doors a completely new look.

TROCAL can offer you a range of modern wood grain and colour laminates with either structured or smooth surfaces.

4 Set new trends. Design with rails. Besides shapes and colours, rails and other decorative trims present additional possibilities for the individual design of windows and doors. Here TROCAL provides everything you need to make even the faithful reconstruction of historical windows an effortless undertaking. Here a distinction is drawn between "genuine" rails that actually separate individual panes and so called "imitation" rails that are glued on or inserted between the insulating panes. All in all both of these variants present the optimal design options for achieving a harmonious overall impression in particular on large window areas. TROCAL provides you with three different technologies for designing surfaces. Three possibilities of bringing more colour to life. They don't only look good, they also and in addition enhance the properties of the profile's surface. DecoStyle the laminate colour range This DecoStyle laminate system from TROCAL gives windows and doors a completely new look. High quality PVC-U profiles can then be turned into elegant and harmonious complements to any architectural style. TROCAL can offer you a range of modern wood grain and colour laminates with either structured or smooth surfaces. DecoStyle consists of a PVCbased multi-layer foil that is then applied to the profile. Play with colours. Windows are a crucial design element in the facade of a building and mould the style of the rooms inside windows do not always have to be white. Accordingly it is a particular challenge to attach equally great importance to both the technical functionality and the aesthetic aspects. The TROCAL colour range provides virtually unlimited design potential. So you can satisfy your own personal claims of individuality. AcrylProtect beauty and protection in the one coating AcrylProtect from TROCAL is a range of attractive, protective films that let you design your own colour scheme for your window and door profiles. The acrylic is inseparably fused with the PVC by a heat treatment process. As a result TROCAL AcrylProtect functions like a protective shield and ensures retained colour fastness and scratch resistance for years to come. AluClip the attached aluminium cladding The TROCAL AluClip concept is a fusion of two designs the established aluminium cladiumding system and an intelligent combination of PVC and aluminium. PVC-U plus aluminium. TROCAL AluClip lets you realise your own colour ideas. We not only provide a range of standardised RAL colours in matt, high-gloss, anodised, and NCS designs, we can also cater for an unlimited number of special colour needs. Not only this, also colour combinations, styles, and particular patterns can be individualised as you wish. 6 7

5 Don't waste your money on heating. Save up to 40% of energy costs with TROCAL. If we want to live in a warm home, we must dig deep into our pockets. Never before has heating energy been so expensive. Here just one figure: Over recent years the price for a barrel of oil has more than doubled. U g : U f : U w : value for the glazing value for the window frame value for the window (formerly kf) This is calculated from U g, U f, and Ψ (PSI). The latter takes into account the edge connector for the insulating pane. In this respect, U w is not comparable with the former designation kf. Old windows are heat killers. Windows are the thinnest place in a house. It's logical that here is where the cold can enter and heat escape. This applies at least to old windows. Accordingly, windows have a very special role in the renovation of a house. Only the very few know this. It therefore pays off to start well planned renovations where they can be truly effective. With ideal thermal insulation values, TROCAL windows adjust the surface temperature of their glazing to that of the surrounding masonry. You therefore save energy, and the temperatures in the rooms remain constant for longer. Legislation actively supports this eco friendly economising and has standardised the relevant guidelines in the German Energy Savings Act (EnEV).

7 The discovery of peace and quiet. How quiet is it in your home? Roads, industry, railways, planes: our world is becoming louder and louder. It is therefore all the more important that this noise does not penetrate your personal living space. Noise has been proved to be harmful to health, even when you are no longer aware of it. Noise protection windows not only enhance the quality of life, they also provide a key contribution to your continued health. Windows with active insulating glazing help to save resources. Besides their considerably enhanced solar and heat insulation and their optimal transparency to light, these windows provide the optimal sound insulation and a reduction in noise levels of up to 45 db. The main task of the frame is to safeguard the mechanical stability needed for the active sound insulating glazing and to maintain the pressure on the gasket. We provide you with the right window, tailored to your personal needs. Ultra modern window technology with highly durable PVC-U profiles and special active insulating glazing provide effective sound insulation that keeps everyday noise where it belongs outside.

8 Air supply systematically That would mean opening windows when it s raining, hailing, or snowing. However, there is a simpler and more intelligent solution. TROCAL has developed a range of ventilation systems with modified seals, ventilation strips, and motor driven ventilation. The ideal solution for all requirements. Independent 0.1 CO 2 Fatigue and exhaustion are a consequence of bad indoor air. The body therefore reacts adversely to too high a CO 2 content in indoor air. testing institutes have verified the efficacy of these systems. Air as the giver of life. There are a large number of cases where the conventional ventilation methods are inadequate, e.g. when somebody is home only rarely. This also applies to weekend and holiday homes. Why ventilation is so important. TROCAL AirMatic The self regulating air flow The TROCAL 88+, AirMatic AD, and AirMatic MD ventilation elements with self-regulating air flow ensure that the passage of outdoor and indoor air is adequately metered for constant basic ventilation even when the windows are closed. And this without draughts and without appreciable energy losses. TROCAL AirMatic, installed in the upper, inside section of the window system, is virtually invisible and therefore a tidy solution on all sides. When the wind pressure increases on the outside, the flaps close automatically, sealing the window. The system is also suitable for retrofitting in existing windows. Correct, regular airing is becoming more important than ever, especially in our better insulated living space. Whereas earlier draughty houses and loose windows provided a constant, although unintended ventilation, our houses today are well insulated and sealed for the minimum possible loss of heat. Nothing can pass from the outside to the inside, unless this is wanted. Also humidity and bad air are no longer removed automatically. This means that irregular or inadequate ventilation promotes the formation of condensate and therefore damage caused by moisture or mould to window structures and rooms. Temperatures in the bathroom, kitchen, and bedrooms are frequently lower than elsewhere, so these rooms are particularly at risk. So these should be ventilated at regular intervals. In this manner you look after your health and your home at the same time. Moisture forms in the home. And that in places where you would never suspect. Moisture quantity per hour Person at rest 30 g Person doing light work 60 g Dry spinning 200 g Washing machine 300 g Dripping washing 500 g Cooking 1000 g Wet cleaning 1000 g Shower bath 2600 g TROCAL AirTronic The first air conditioner for windows TROCAL AirTronic is the intelligent combination of fan controlled exhaust air installations and electronically regulated air supply elements integrated in the window. It is the perfect solution for the needs based ventilation of buildings and the regulated, reliable supply of fresh air in residential areas. The highlight When exhaust air is drawn off, the system activates automatically for a supply of fresh air. It therefore fulfils today the ventilation standard DIN of tomorrow. The result Moist air is drawn off for a healthier environment

9 Ways to sustainability Our profile: thinking ahead The intelligent use of resources and the protection of the environment have long become crucial criteria in the production of PVC-U window profiles. We therefore see it as our duty to spearhead the move towards greater sustainability. Many advantages of PVC-U have already become established in the production of windows: the long durability, the low maintenance work, the high economic efficiency, and the extremely good thermal insulation properties for considerable reductions in energy consumption and therefore CO 2 buildup in both new and renovated buildings. One other key ecological benefit is also the outstanding recyclability of PVC. By consistently recycling our materials for years now, we have made sure that old windows provide the initial materials for new PVC-U products. Improved thermal insulation for less energy consumption and less CO 2 Intelligent designs for optimised material use Consistent recycling and complete absence of lead stabilisers for active environmental protection Vinyl 2010 This voluntary commitment by Europe's PVC sector to sustainable development pursues actual central ideas and objectives, e.g. for limiting emissions during the production or recycling of old PVC-U. One central point is the substitution of lead stabilisers. Our greenline principle: energy efficient window systems, lead free stabilisers in virgin material, and intelligent recycling concepts provide that extra sustainability. With the best recommendations. TROCAL is a name that has written history in the production of windows and doors. With the first series-produced PVC-U window. Yet tradition is not all we have to offer. Rather, we see ourselves to be a services oriented company that is your innovative, reliable, and powerful partner
