Profile 22 has launched the Optima flush casement window.
Developed from the Profile 22 Optima system that was launched in 2016 ‘to huge accolades’, the Optima flush casement is said to offer a ‘thoughtfully styled solution’ for the thousands of traditional properties in British towns and villages that, according to Profile 22, are ‘crying out’ for replacement windows.
The Optima flush casement reportedly shares all of the virtues that Profile 22 says have made its Optima system ‘the most important new system to be launched for more than a decade’ including ‘great aesthetics, precise dimensions’, wall thickness and internal webs.
Hardware is reportedly ‘easy to locate’, drainage is optimised and seals are said to be ‘perfectly placed for long-lasting performance’. According to Profile 22, the system surpasses the requirements of UK and EU Building Regulations and PAS 24 and is accredited by the British Standards Institute. With ‘easily achieved’ high installed performance and ease of fabrication and installation, the Optima flush casement is said to be ‘opening up this key market segment to Profile 22 fabricators and installers throughout the UK’.
According to Profile 22, Optima flush casement windows ‘replicate more accurately the key details so important to the owners of heritage properties’, such as mechanically jointed sashes, dummy sashes, deep bottom rails, period cills and glazing bars and authentic hardware including monkey-tail handles and dummy peg stays. A huge choice of authentic period colours are available from Epwin’s finishing plant in addition to enjoying compatibility with a huge range of Optima components and ancillaries.
Optima flush casements are also said to enjoy the benefits offered by the Optima system: compatibility with standard Optima frame and transom and chamfered finish externally but with chamfered or sculptured frame style and astragal bars for a choice of internal treatments. And with standard 24mm IGUs an ‘A+’ rating and U-value of 1.3 W/m2K are easily achievable.
