Veka launches Softline 82 – Passivhaus
Veka has launched the Softline 82 – Passivhaus window system, a newly developed product that is said to be ‘at the forefront of eco-conscious window technology’, meeting Passivhaus standards for superior energy performance, sustainability, and design.
According to Veka, this tilt-and-turn window system integrates ‘modern aesthetics with unparalleled functionality’. It has been designed to meet the growing demand for eco-conscious building solutions from architects, specifiers and installers, without compromising on the quality, style, comfort and energy saving requirements of homeowners.
Softline 82 – Passivhaus has been developed in line with Passivhaus, the internationally recognised energy-efficient building standard, designed to reduce heating and cooling energy consumption by up to 90% compared to conventional construction.
Veka says that the Softline 82 – Passivhaus window system not only meets but exceeds these rigorous standards, achieving a U-value as low as 0.79 W/m²K.
Constructed with an 82mm multi-chamber profile and enhanced by triple glazing, the Softline 82 – Passivhaus window offers exceptional insulation, noise reduction, and airtightness.
It features an advanced centre seal to prevent heat loss, moisture infiltration and drafts.
Beyond its technical performance, the Softline 82 – Passivhaus has been developed with aesthetics ‘front-of-mind’.
Available in a range of bespoke colours and finishes, it blends seamlessly with a wide variety of architectural styles. And, with its proven durability and security – tested to meet British Standards PAS 24 and BS 6375 – it offers both long-lasting performance and secure peace of mind.
Jack Scullion, product and innovation manager at Veka, said: At Veka, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. The Softline 82 – Passivhaus window is a direct outcome of our deep commitment to developing premium, eco-friendly solutions for today’s environmental needs.
“This product is the perfect choice for architects, specifiers, and homeowners who want to prioritise energy efficiency without compromising on design or comfort.”
Jack added: “Integrating Passivhaus into our product development also further aligns with Veka’s commitment to a circular economy.
“PVC-U offers a long lifespan, is virtually maintenance-free and can be fully recycled at the end of its life, making it an environmentally responsible choice for future-forward building projects.”
