Energy Efficiency - Windows and Doors

PVCu

PVC stands for Poly Vinyl Chloride. Our Spectus Elite 63 window profiles are made from PVCu, which stands for Poly Vinyl Chloride Unplasticised - i.e. it contains none of the plasticiser that makes materials such as cling film flexible.
Spectus is good for the environment?
  • PVCu windows and doors reduce heat loss and therefore the building requires less heating and so emissions are reduced.
  • Windows and doors made from PVC reduce the need to chop down trees.
  • PVC is recyclable and so need not be incinerated, thus reducing emissions.
  • PVCu windows do not need painting and therefore don't consume materials or generate associated waste.

Glass

Our Windows are Glazed with a 28 mm Unit.
It is a Low E soft coated glass with warm edge spacer bar and argon gas filled.
  • Reflects heat back into your house.
  • Improves the efficiency of your house.
  • Maximises free heat and light from the sun.
  • Warmer than standard double glazing
