Triple glazed casement
Rehau has launched a new casement solution which achieves a U-value of 0.8 using either the Rehau S706 or Rehau Edge 70mm systems.
The new Rehau Thermo window has been deliberately developed using proven and cost effective off the shelf profiles so that fabricators can begin manufacturing straightaway without any special machining or tooling set up and with no requirement for separate stockholding.
The new Rehau solution is based around standard S706 and Rehau Edge profiles combined with a triple glazed, argon-filled 44mm sealed unit. A single leg bead from Rehau’s In-line patio range, which has been proven for many years with panes up to 1200mm x 2100mm, neatly accommodates the glass.
Rehau Thermo is an open out, casement window which has been fully weather tested to 600Pa, has achieved security accreditation to BS7950 and is fully certified to the 0.8 U-value at the standard size of 1230mm x 1480mm.
The new Rehau Thermo foam insert is applied either during or post manufacture to provide the additional thermal efficiency necessary to achieve the 0.8 U-value target. Developed and already proven in Germany, it uses a moulded foam material which is easy to handle and dust free when cut.
Supplied in one-mere lengths, the Rehau Thermo foam can be inserted into the chamber of the profile during manufacture or, to minimise disruption and to provide a very visible USP, it can simply be inserted into the legs on the outer edge of the window either by the fabricator after manufacture or on site by the installer.
