'First fibreglass window range' for UK
21st March 2017

Boavista Windows UK Ltd has launched into the UK what it says is ‘Europe’s first full range of fibreglass window frames’.

The new range includes a tilt and turn, sash, casement and sliding window and door product, all of which are said to be ‘100 per cent recyclable and deliver longer lifecycles than uPVC and aluminium frames as a result of fibreglass’s inherent qualities.’

Boavista’s rigidity also enables its sliding windows and doors to withstand single panes that weigh in excess of 250kg.

Boavista is exclusively available to the UK through Boavista Windows UK Ltd, a company formed by the team behind Meronden Designs, that has provided bespoke glazing solutions for the Lloyds Building, Tiffany & Co. Selfridges in Manchester and Ernst & Young’s More London Place building.

The fibreglass frames are made by pulling resin-soaked glass fibres through heated dies. The company adds that Fibreglass also expands in line with window glass, removing the need for gaskets generally required to hold the pane in place.

Boavista Windows UK Managing Director Neil Puttock said: “Boavista provides an alternative window product that offers the opportunity to contribute towards reducing the UK’s carbon footprint without compromising on design, function or form.”
