Overview
High performance aluminium window and door
frame systems, using a thermal break to improve thermal energy
efficiency. Suitable for residential and commercial
applications.
The Vantage Designer Series with THERMAL
Heart™ technology are a range of thermally broken aluminium
window and door systems incorporating a glass fibre reinforced
nylon insulator as a thermal break. The insulator strip known
as THERMAL Heart™ provides a thermal break, minimizing
heat transfer between the interior and exterior frame
elements. The product is designed for strength as well as
thermal energy efficiency and an impressive range of heights and
spans can be achieved for residential and architectural glass
applications.
A significant amount of thermal energy
transfer can occur through the window frame. The Vantage
Designer Series with THERMAL Heart™ technology reduces this
transfer. When combined with double glazing, Designer Series
THERMAL Heart™ systems rate up to 32% higher in terms of
thermal efficiency compared to standard double glazed aluminium
fenestrations.
A Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) rating
of at least 5 stars for Designer Series THERMAL Heart™
windows and doors indicates an increase of at least 48% in thermal
performance, dependant on glazing selection, when compared to
standard single glazed aluminium framed fenestrations.
