Conservatory window and door specification

Thursday February 14, 2008 at 8:09pm

 

PVCu is the compound that fits in with people's busy lives today, and now, with the developments taking place over recent years, customers no longer have to compromise aesthetics for performance.

The PVCu profile used in our windows and doors has much softer lines and curves previously enjoyed by people with wooden windows. However, what only PVCu customers can appreciate is the low maintenance and high performance ratings achieved by PVCu.

Rehau, one of Europe's leading polymer producers, has been manufacturing profiles for PVCu windows for over 40 years. No other European window systems manufacturer has anything like the breadth of experience. Rehau's expertise in the field of window design and PVCu technology comes from manufacturing a vast range of polymer products, from car bumpers to artificial heart valves.

In addition to in-house tests, all Rehau systems are tested by independent bodies such as the British Standards Institute (BSI) and the British Board Of Agrément (BBA). Quality control is paramount with all factories operating to EN ISO 9001 (formerly BS 5750).
