Flush casement upgrade

Aluplast has upgraded its flush casement, which enhances its aesthetic appeal while introducing improved manufacturing efficiencies.

Featuring slimmer sightlines, the latest offering is also easier and faster to fabricate, the result of research and development by Aluplast that has simplified the process of hardware and gasket application.

With a choice of standard and heritage deep bottom rail, and with options for mechanical jointing, Aluplast’s flush sash is suitable for a wide range of period and contemporary properties and is available in the system company’s full range of 40 finishes.

This includes aludec, a foil that is designed to replicate the appearance of aluminium, and woodec, which is available in four life-like woodgrains: Turner Oak Malt, Sheffield Oak Alpine, Sheffield Oak Concrete and Toffee.

It is also compatible with ecotech, which isolates recycled material away from structural elements of the profile. ecotech’s co-extrusion process means that smooth, virgin material is used for the surface walls of the profile, ensuring a stable substrate for foils.

“We have enjoyed a considerable amount of traction in the marketplace with our flush casement, and the improvements that the new version brings will build on that success,” Ian Cocken, director of sales and marketing at Aluplast, said.

“Consumer demand for premium products, such as flush casements and colour, has never been higher. Our flush sash brings a whole new level of attention to detail and design flexibility with its aesthetics. On the one hand it can be with specified with an aluminium style finish, such as aludec, or a flat anthracite grey for a clean and contemporary finish.

“Or, if you apply a 90^º mechanical joint, with a deep bottom rail, dedicated hardware, and one of our timber-effect woodec foils, you can recreate the appearance of a 19th century window, but with all the advantages of a modern, energy efficient PVC system.”
