Overview

VELFAC are experts in windows and can provide tailored advice and consultancy at every specification stage – from initial design ideas through to post-installation support. Talk to VELFAC as soon as your project starts to take shape, and use their product knowledge, and their industry expertise to specify glazing which meets your budget needs, design vision and performance targets. VELFAC composite windows bring together the best of both worlds; the durability and versatility of aluminium and the beauty and warmth of natural wood. The wood frame contributes to great energy performance with U-values as low as 0.8W/m²K, and the slim 54 mm sightlines maximise natural light. Opening and fixed lights have the same sightlines, providing a consistent aesthetic across window units. • Composite windows • Secured by Design certification • FSC certification • RIBA approved CPD

Article
This article looks at the frame materials available within the window industry; uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite aluminium/timber are reviewed together with their impact on the environment, energy consumption during the manufacturing processes and the overall lifecycle of each material from cradle to grave. The expected durability and maintenance requirements of each material along with the economic benefits are also considered.

Article
Window specification can be complex, we need to consider the levels of light required in a room, the need to create a safe and secure environment, all whilst protecting against the Earth’s natural elements and other man-made factors such as noise and pollution. This article looks at thermal performance, solar control and acoustic performance. It will also identify how we finalise the specification of a window system, considering Building Regulations but also the additional requirements of third parties such as M&E consultants, acousticians or employers requirements, all of which can influence the overall design and cost of your building
