Crafted with precision and built to last, these windows offer superior performance across a range of key metrics, ensuring comfort, savings, and sustainability for years to come.
Key Features of PURe® Windows:
Outstanding Thermal Performance
PURe® windows feature an impressive U-value as low as 0.71 W/m²K, providing exceptional thermal insulation. This means that heat loss is minimised, keeping your space warm in winter and cool in summer, ultimately reducing energy costs and increasing comfort.
Sustainability at its Core
Our aluminium frames are up to 100% fully recyclable, contributing to a more sustainable environment. With a life expectancy of over 40 years, these frames are not only durable but also environmentally friendly, offering long-term value and reduced waste.
Enhanced Thermal Efficiency
Designed to accommodate up to 50mm infills, PURe® windows can be tailored to meet specific performance requirements. This additional infill depth boosts the thermal performance, ensuring that your building stays energy-efficient and better insulated from external temperature fluctuations.
Superior Sound Insulation
In addition to outstanding thermal performance, PURe® windows offer excellent sound reduction capabilities. This makes them an ideal choice for properties located in noisy urban areas, ensuring that internal environments remain peaceful and quiet.
Rigorous Weather Testing
To guarantee their performance, PURe® windows undergo extensive weather testing to BS6375:1:2009 standards. This ensures that they are capable of withstanding a variety of weather conditions:
600Pa air permeability – ensuring excellent airtightness to prevent drafts and improve energy efficiency.
600Pa water tightness – ensuring the windows are resistant to rain and damp conditions.
2400Pa wind resistance – making PURe® windows highly durable and able to withstand even the harshest of winds, protecting your property from the elements.
Customisable Finish Options
PURe® windows come polyester colour-coated in a wide range of RAL colours, offering the flexibility to match the aesthetic of your property. Whether you prefer a gloss, satin, or matt finish, we can provide the perfect style for your needs.
