PassivHaus certified

The KBE System 88, which was launched by Kömmerling in July, has now received the PassivHaus certification.

KBE System 88 includes six chambers and an 88mm depth frame. It can boast a 0.7W/(m²K) U-value, using argon gas filling in the IGU, exceeding the Passivhaus specification and is designed to include high performance triple glazing as standard.

Within the system are a range of reinforcement options, including foam-coated steels and the PVCU sections are co-extruded with a Greenline lead-free skin and a full recycled internal construction. It’s available in 44 different colour options plus the option of Alustar, an aluminium cladding section designed to meet the needs of architects and offering to use the entire RAL colour spectrum. The system also takes existing and standard UK tilt and turn hardware.

Stefan Seidel, operations manager at Kömmerling, said: “Our new system is perfectly suited for domestic and commercial applications and we also have a PassivHaus door solution undergoing the PassivHaus certification process as we speak. If you are looking for a PassivHaus solution then ask to see the certification. Don’t be fooled by cheap imitators and opportunists!”
