Aluplast has launched Ideal neo, a 76mm PVC-U flush system promising a U-value of 0.9W/m2K with a standard double-glazed unit and a 50mm IGU capacity giving further options for triple glazing.
Further options include ‘powerdur’, a specially designed fibre-glass-reinforced plastic insert, which improves the thermal performance and makes the windows 20% lighter than conventional windows. This saves fuel during transportation, relieving strain on the environment in the process.
Glass units can be bonded to the frame, which improves weather tightness, thermal performance, and the window’s rigidity.
The Ideal neo system also has a ‘safetec inside’ centre seal, an extruded middle rebate with a third internal seal to ensure better tightness of the entire construction, improves thermal and acoustic properties, and makes it more difficult to force open the sash by blocking access from an external attack.
The profile, supplied by aluplast is made from ecotech, which maximises the amount of recycled content in a profile’s design. It is available in 40 foiled finishes, including woodec and aludec, foils designed to replicate timber and aluminium.
Sales & marketing director Ian Cocken said: “Ideal neo is a brand-new product, designed from the ground up, which closes the loop on recyclability, and raises the game for fabricators and installers in an increasingly environmentally conscious marketplace.”
