Anglo claims sysco match after independent reinforcement tests
7th January 2020

ANGLO EUROPEAN says it has gained independent test approvals on its PVC-U window and door reinforcements showing they are a match for those supplied by three named systems companies, with further ongoing tests aimed to add more systems to the list.

Testing conducted by Build Check found that reinforcement options matched requirements set by Rehau, Veka and Liniar, with weathertightness tests fully compliant with BS6375-1:2015, says the company.

The independent assessments also found that both of the coating grades offered by Anglo, which include GZ275UK and GZ140EU, met reinforcement performance criteria set out by the three systems companies.

Managing director Paul Sullivan, said “The independent test results reaffirm what we’re doing and demonstrate that the reinforcement we supply is equal to that supplied by systems companies, meeting and exceeding, all of the criteria performance that they’ve laid down.”

The company says this means that, across Rehau, Veka and Liniar, Anglo European can offer its customers access to reinforcement options fully tested to BS6375-1:2015, including air permeability tests in line with BS EN 1026:2016; water tightness to BS EN 1027:2000; wind resistance tests to BS EN 12211:2016; and exposure category classification in accordance with BS 6375-1:2015 (clauses 6, 7 and 8). All reinforcements supplied by Anglo European are also manufactured in DX51D tensile strength steel –the same grade used in the reinforcements supplied by Rehau, Veka and Liniar, he added.

With independent testing ongoing with BuildCheck on other systems, including Eurocell, KBE Profine and Profile 22, Anglo has said it expects to be able to announce further approvals in Q1 this year.
