Euroglaze has added Rehau’s Passivhaus compliant Artevo window system to its product offering – further strengthening its claim to offer the most comprehensive range of Rehau products of any trade fabricator in the UK.

Artevo uses Rehau’s 100% recyclable Rau-Fipro-X glass-reinforced PVC, which is stronger and lighter than conventional PVC and allows for bigger window and door units to be fabricated without the need for steel reinforcement. That means slimmer profiles, improved thermal performance and, with a minimum of 75% recycled content, exceptional sustainability credentials.

The system is primarily designed for high end commercial and residential projects where buyers want slimline frames and bigger expanses of glass, coupled with low U-values and outstanding sound insulation. Windows in Artevo can be up to 2.6m high, with U-Values down to 0.8 and dB levels up to 48dB.

For Euroglaze, Artevo is a natural addition to its range. Managing director, Martin Nettleton, commented:

“We can justifiably claim to be a single source supplier for all your Rehau products – alongside three day delivery of standard casements in Rehau Total 70, we also offer Rehau Heritage vertical sliders, Rehau Rio flush sashes, Rehau Slinova patio doors and Rehau Rauferno fire rated windows.

“The market leading efficiency of our Barnsley factory and our commitment to lean manufacturing means we can stock and manufacture all these systems on reliable lead times and at competitive prices. Our trade customers really don’t need to go anywhere else to make the most of every single sales opportunity.

“We already have a high end window and door business within the Euroglaze group – called Ecotec, so we know the opportunities and demands of that market very well and we can even help and advise customers on how best to sell and promote Artevo frames.”

Artevo flush sash windows and doors have a profile depth of 80mm – in line with the Slinova patio. Design options include aluminium cladding, woodgrain foils, smooth coloured foils and smooth or textured paint finishes.

Martin added:

“Artevo is a high-tech system with huge potential in the commercial and new build markets in particular where there is sustained pressure for more sustainable solutions – particularly in PVC. We’re very excited to be early adopters of this Passivhaus compliant system and have ambitious plans in terms of sales and volumes.”
