Leading European supplier of high-quality aluminium systems Reynaers has recently introduced its new high-performance ‘Eco system’ that combines aesthetic design with energy efficiency and can be used both in renovation and in new-build projects.
“Achieving a Uf-value down to 2.25 W/sq m K (standard section), Eco system meets the latest insulation requirements and allows the end-user to save on heating/cooling costs,” says a company spokesman.
“Combining these excellent performances with the technical characteristics of a complete two-chamber system with a building-in depth of 50 mm, Eco system offers a solution for every standard application for window and window-doors. Furthermore, this new system allows the fabricator to produce windows in less time. This makes Eco system the best performing system in its price category.”
Ecology meets economy
He adds: “Meeting the ever-increasing demands for energy-efficient building materials, Reynaers’ Eco system provides low U-values thanks to the optimum design of the glassfibre reinforced insulation strips. With Uf-values down to 2.25 W/sq m K, Eco system offers a thermal efficiency in line with current insulation requirements.
“Energy-efficient windows not only increase home comfort, they also help to reduce heating costs in winter and cooling costs in summer.
“Furthermore, due to the optimised use of materials, innovative solutions regarding the use of accessories, its optimised production time and easy assembly, Eco system is undoubtedly the best performing system in its price category. Both the fabricator and the end-user experience the most benefits.
Design, safety and comfort
According to the spokesman, Eco system combines an attractive design, optimal safety and excellent technical performances in the following areas:
Design: The system offers the possibility to have dual colouring for inner and outer window profiles and has a reduced visible height. Special aesthetic solutions for hidden drainage are available;
Safety: Eco system complies with a burglar resistance up to security class WK 2; and
Comfort: Air-wind-water tests according to the latest standards have proven water-tightness up to 900 Pa.
Moreover, Eco system is a complete system for windows and windows/doors offering a solution for every standard opening configuration.
