 | | BEAUFORT CLAIMS A FIRST FOR ALUMINUM WINDOWS | | | Beaufort Secure Design Ltd | | 01/06/2008 | | | Beaufort has claimed an industry first with the launch of its Advanced Plus fully integrated aluminum window system. A breakthrough in energy efficient windows, the new system can achieve an ‘A’ Window Energy Rating (WER) using a double glazed IG unit and is the result of over 12 months research and development – testament to the innovative ideas that the company has become renowned for.
All window sections feature a polyamide thermal barrier to enhance thermal efficiency achieving whole window ‘U’ values as low as 1.3w/m2k. This qualifies for Code 4 of the Sustainable Homes Directive, which is widely in demand from specifiers.
Beaufort’s Advanced Plus System boasts an impressive array of industry accreditations: all aluminium sections are extruded to BS EN 12020 and it is certified to BS 4873 and BS 7950 Kitemark standards and is Secured by Design licensed. The System has also been designed for maximum performance standards set out in BS 6375 and has achieved 600 Pa Air Permeability, 600 Pa for Water Penetration and 2400 Pa Wind Resistance.
Advanced Plus is available in internally or externally glazed options and can accommodate a comprehensive range of window hardware and gearing systems, including easy clean and emergency egress friction stays. Child safety window restrictors are also available. Security is assured via stainless steel shoot bolt locking mechanisms, with additional security achieved by fitting hinge claws.
Offering the ultimate in thermal performance, strength and security, Beaufort’s latest development is ideal for domestic and commercial aluminium window applications in both the public and private sectors. It is also fully compatible with the company’s range of Polyamide screening and curtain wall systems.
Head of Sales, Patrick Burke says: “Combining the benefits of aluminium in terms of slim sightlines and inherent strength with unrivalled thermal performance, the Advanced Plus puts Beaufort at the forefront of aluminium system design.” | |
