A new aluminium-clad timber window system from Glas Facades is said to bring high performance and sustainability to the commercial market at an affordable price.
The Glas Vision 3000 range combines an aluminium outer profile with solid timber internally, in a natural or painted finish. BFRC Window Energy Ratings in bands A to C have been achieved by using different glazing combined with the window's own airtightness reading.
The range is also claimed to score high for sustainability. All of the timber used is PEFC certified, while up to 70 per cent of the aluminium is recycled. This, combined with low inherent u values, makes then suitable for carbon neutral, zero carbon and PassivHause developments.
Four timbers are available Finished Pine, Natural Pine, European Oak and Canadian Pine.
