Aluminium sash windows combine many of the benefits of both their timber and uPVC equivalents, particularly the very low maintenance of uPVC windows along with the slim and elegant profile width of wooden windows. That's why they prove to be the ideal choice for many applications.
At Roseview we are delighted to manufacture, supply and fit two of the country's leading aluminium vertical slider systems: Sapa and Comar.
The Sapa vertical sliding window provides excellent insulation performance. The system is fully weatherstripped and all component profiles incorporate thermal barriers. What's more, the system has been designed so that each sash can be released to tilt inwards for easy glass cleaning - solving an inherent problem with traditional sash windows, especially above ground level. Each sash can also be completely removed, making for easy glass replacement if necessary.
Comar aluminium vertical sliding windows provide the assurance of excellent insulation as a result of Comar's energy efficient thermally broken profiles. With more and more consideration being given to environmental issues, Comar's system has been designed with energy efficiency in mind. Made from aluminium - one of the most recyclable building materials - the Comar system ensures that sustainability issues are alleviated.
The aluminium profiles are made up of three parts: the internal and external profiles are rolled together with a 22mm polymide thermal break strip. This ensures that buildings are kept warm in the winter and cool in summer.
This construction method provides an extra design opportunity; the internal and external profiles can be painted in different colours.
