20 REFURB & RESTORATION
Patus proves popular Since the official launch of its PATUS and PATUS+ ranges of windows and doors, Rationel Windows UK has witnessed a strong demand for the new design. These windows have developed to give a more traditional appearance to the finished building – making them suitable for a variety of new-build schemes, and particularly useful in refurbishment applications. Bringing a ‘softer’ look compared with Rationel’s existing DOMUS and ALDUS options, the cottage-style appearance has allowed PATUS to open-up markets for Rationel that might previously have been difficult to penetrate.
