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.
