PURe windows give new resi-tower a view!
As well as offering its residents some of the most spectacular views across London, the energy- efficient windows of the latest phase of the Pavilions development in Tottenham Hale also provide some of the lowest U-values available thanks to the use of Senior Architectural System’s new PURe® system. The PURe® windows have been fabricated
by A Plus Aluminium and used alongside Senior’s thermally enhanced SPW600e door systems, which provide access to the apartments’ external balconies and terraces. Senior’s innovative PURe® windows have had a positive effect on reducing the overall carbon calculations of the building and perfectly complement the other ‘green’ features of the scheme.
Roof windows in RAL colours
FAKRO’s DEF flat roof window redefined the visual aesthetic for such products but the launch of ColourLine® has taken the offering a stage further by enabling its outer cladding to be specified in any RAL colour from the ‘Classic Palette’. The ColourLine option can also
now be specified for inner surfaces of standard FAKRO windows so whether to blend with landscaping on a flat roof or interior design features in a loft extension the scope is virtually limitless. For flat roofs, the DEF U8 offers a window U-value of 0.76 W/m²K – ideal for Passivhaus and energy-efficient construction.

www.fakro.co.uk UK patent for PURe® enq.207 windows and doors
Leading fenestration designer and manufacturer Senior Architectural Systems has been awarded a UK patent for its market-leading PURe® range of energy-efficient windows and doors. The new patented system is the first on the UK market to benefit from an enhanced thermal barrier manufactured from expanded polyurethane foam (PUR). Traditionally used in cladding and insulation products, the innovative use of PUR as a thermal barrier in windows
and doors gives the PURe® range the potential to achieve U-values as low as 0.71W/m2 and 0.93W/m2
positively received by both fabricators and specifiers alike. Improvements for Paragon P4 Gas Fire
Following on from the successful launch of the Paragon P4 Charlton and Jenrick have introduced a new highly realistic log set which further enhances the appearance of the fire. The fire is available in either Natural Gas or LPG fuels and offers an 82 per cent efficiency meaning it is not only pleasing on the eye but also the pocket! The versatile fire can be fitted into a fireplace, frameless in the wall or in the wall with a trim or slip around
it. Controlling the fire is made easy using the infrared remote handset provided. In addition to the new log fuel bed there is now an option on firebox liners: the existing black ceramic or the new beige vermiculite liners.
