Profile 22 has launched a new colour and finish range combining advanced thermal performance and high recycled content with enhanced aesthetics.
The new range, part of the window systems company’s award winning product portfolio, gives architects and specifiers access to wide choice of flexible and cost effective design options.
Alongside a spectrum of colour and woodgrain finishes, this new offer includes a range of greys and black which have been specifically developed to give the specification and new build sectors access to a more energy efficient and cost-effective alternative to aluminium in a wide choice of applications, including curtain walling.
Andrew Reid, sales development director, Profile 22, said: “Architects, specifiers and house builders are delivering a new generation of buildings that perform better and which are aesthetically innovative.
“Profile 22 has developed a range of product options that support exactly that demand for flexible design, which deliver end user appeal but which can be achieved at a comparatively modest cost.”
The range in full includes a choice of 20 different finishes and colours. These include not only greys, but greens, subtle shades of cream, wood grains and a palate of subtle pastels – Willow Green, delicate off-whites, Barley Water and Vanilla and an intricate Irish Oak.
This new colour range has been launched in addition to the window systems leader’s range of dual colour and finish options. Unveiled at ecobuild earlier this year, this gives architects new opportunity to specify low maintenace and thermally efficient PVC-U windows more sympathetically to a wider range of applications and designs by ‘mix-and-matching’ internal and external finishes.
As an Epwin Group company, Profile 22 was the first window systems company to manufacture a fully recycled window. It also extruded profile used in the Group’s award winning installation of windows manufactured from 98 per cent recycled material in Manchester in 2009 (National Recycling Awards 2009 Best Product category).
This pioneering development has made a significant contribution in PVC-U’s recent ‘A’ and ‘A plus’ Green Guide rating from the Building Research Establishment.
Reid, concluded: “Our new colour ranges sit more broadly within our advanced, sustainable and energy efficient offer. PVC-U building products have moved on and they have moved on considerably, whether that’s delivering U-values of as little as 0.8 or winning housebuilders points under the Code for Sustainable homes for material sustainability.
“Colour and finish choice build on this exceptional technical performance, giving the commercial sector new design flexibility without a premium price tag.”
