3 INTRODUCING ALUFRAME Built around a belief that beauty doesn t have to compromise performance, Aluframe aluminium windows were created out of an ambition to combine the desirability and durability of aluminium with unparalleled insulation. The unique, full-width thermal core is key to why Aluframe aluminium windows are 25% more thermally efficient than traditional aluminium systems. Strong and secure, Aluframe windows come with multi-point locking, internal beading and are backed by a 10 year product guarantee - helping keep you and your home safe. Available as casement or tilt-and-turn windows, and with a flush sash option that brings the outer frame perfectly level with the opening part of the window - Aluframe windows are the perfect warm, secure and beautiful addition on to your home. page 3

4 The Home of Aluminium A PERFECT PARTNERSHIP The traditional weakness of aluminium windows has been the aluminium itself. A beautifully strong and hard-wearing material, aluminium is a good conductor of energy. The warmth from your home finds an easy path outwards, leaving you colder and with higher heating bills. Most aluminium windows try to overcome this inherent weakness by replacing a section of aluminium with a small thermal break of less conductive material to lessen this heat loss. Aluhaus took a different approach. From inception this revolutionary new window system was designed to be as thermally-efficient as possible. Built around a full width thermal core - maximising the use of low conductive material - Alufold is 25% more efficient at keeping heat in your home than traditional aluminium windows. Yet it doesn t compromise strength, as the outer faces of the profile are made from high grade aluminium. page 4

5 CUTTING EDGE PERFORMANCE WITH ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL Aluframe has been designed from the ground up to offer market leading thermal performance, and comfortably meets the requirements of Building Regulations across the whole of the UK. Traditional aluminium windows oblige you to choose aluminium aesthetics and finish over thermal performance. Aluframe gives you both, with its innovative full-width thermal core. This unique composite construction creates the most thermally efficient window in its class. This design philosophy has produced a window system that has exceptional thermal performance, helping keep fuel bills lower and heat in your home, while retaining the sleek and architectural look of aluminium. page 5

6 ALUFRAME - Beautifully Modern The visual look of traditional aluminium windows historically was designed around the commercial market place where cosmetics and appearance were less important than the structural specification for each individual project when aluminium was required to be installed. With today s modern contemporary living styles changing, attitude towards aluminium being used in today s homes has taken a very different direction with sleek, smooth, sightlines and angular edges being used to accompany the very latest architectural demands for modern living. Aluframe comes in a choice of slim outer frames, traditional or flush casements designs, and a full range or door and tilt-and-turn options to suit most of today s style of homes. All when fitted create stunning sight-lines if you a looking for the very latest in modern contemporary living. With sleek, smooth, angular edges being used to accompany the very latest architectural demands, Aluframe is truly at home when next generation design and performance is demanded. Aluframe comes in a choice of slim outer frames, traditional or flush casements designs, and a full range or door and tilt-and-turn options to suit most of today s style of homes. All when fitted create stunning sightlines if you are looking for the very latest in modern contemporary living. page 6

8 WITH BUILT IN VERSATILITY For the ultimate in versatility the Aluframe system is available as a tilt-and-turn window. Ideal for use in upstairs locations, tilt-and-turn windows can be tilted inwards for ventilation - helping keep your home fresh and light. Alternatively, they can be swung inwards for cleaning, or for when the day is too glorious to be locked out. Using the latest multi-point locking, and custom-designed hinges, tilt-and-turn windows are as safe and secure as the rest of the Aluframe range.

9 TRIPLE GLAZING FOR ULTIMATE THERMAL PERFORMANCE Robustly designed to take the weight of triple glazed units as standard, choose this option for the ultimate thermal performance - at least 75% better than standard double glazed aluminium windows. Opting for 44mm triple glazing rather than standard 28mm double glazing reduces the whole window U-Value rating from 1.3 to 0.8. Triple glazing is ideal for Aluframe windows installed in exposed locations. BEAUTIFUL, STRONG AND SECURE WINDOWS THAT ARE 25% MORE THERMALLY EFFICIENT THAN THE COMPETITION page 9

10 ALUFRAME, THE WARMER CHOICE THAT SAVES YOU MONEY The traditional weakness of aluminium doors have been the aluminium itself. A beautifully strong and hard-wearing material, aluminium is a good conductor of energy. The warmth from your home finds an easy path outwards, leaving you colder and with higher heating bills. Most aluminium window systems try to overcome this inherent weakness by replacing a section of aluminium with a small thermal break of less conductive material, to lessen this heat loss. Aluhaus took a different approach. From inception this revolutionary folding sliding door was designed to be as thermally-efficient as possible. Built around a full width thermal core - maximising the use of low conductive material - Alufold is 25% more efficient at keeping heat in your home than traditional aluminium windows. Yet it doesn t compromise strength,as the outer faces of the profile are made from high grade aluminium, positioned to add the greatest structural rigidity. U-Values explained U 1.6 W/m2K Current Building Regulations Part L requirements for replacement doors U 1.3 Double Glazed* A U-Value is basically a measure of heat loss through a structural element. It is calculated on the rate at which heat transfers through 1 square metre of a structure and is stated in W/m2K. U-Values are used by the construction industry to compare the thermal performance of different materials and products.

11 SLEEK MANUFACTURED WITH MODERN USING CONTEMPORARY THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY ALUMINIUM VISUAL SIGHTLINES Aluframe casement windows are available in a flush sash option for the ultimate in clean, modern aesthetics. Using a stepped outer frame, the sash - the opening part of the window - sits on the same plane as the rest of the window, creating a pure, cutting-edge look to this high performance window system. In ALUMINIUM THERMAL EFFICIANCY AT ITS BEST addition where two flush sashes meet, Aluframe uses a feature mullion - which echoes the flush sash feature, creating a precise bead line in between the two windows. aluminiumwindows For more information on our products, fitting and specifications please visit our website at: Vist our gallery at page 11
