The Residence Collection claims to be setting the design standard in the premium PVC-U systems segment for single and dual colour options, profile shape and also for the way they’ve designed cleaner rebates. Typical glazing rebates in PVC-U windows and doors have changed little since the 1960s, they say, with gaskets either rolled in or co-extruded onto the upstand of the outer frame. By design, R2, R7 and R9 frames don’t carry any gaskets on the frame; they sit within the sash, much like timber windows, helping to create an ‘easy clean’ rebate.
Opening an R9 window provides the visual appeal of a fully laminated rebate, matching the colour and finish of the internal face. Both R2 and R7 feature seven different substrates, so that the internal face has a closely matching through colour too. Regardless of the window or door design from the Residence Collection, all are easier to clean than standard PVC-U windows and doors, they say.
Sarah Hitchings, the Residence Collection’s sales and marketing director, said: “Throughout the Residence Collection, there are unique design details which help set these beautiful windows and doors apart from the masses. Clean rebates without gaskets and with colour matched or even foiled finishes, do make these products something special.
“Collectively, these most exacting of details help sell these windows and doors, and at a time when consumers are demanding better products when it comes to investing in their respective homes. Our levels of social engagement with consumers over the last 12 months also fully reflects this too.’
