Reynaers expands heritage range

Reynaers Aluminium has expanded the choice of profiles for its SlimLine 68 (SL 68) range which features as part of its heritage collection.

The SL 68 replicates the look of traditional steel windows typical of those used in historic buildings. The two new profiles are called Classic and Ferro and feature a bevelled and a stepped sash option and choice of outer frames to create a look typical of 20th century designs.

Its 68mm frame depth makes it ideal for replacements as an existing window can be removed and replaced with the new SL 68 profiles without affecting existing plaster lines. All profiles in the range can accommodate either double or triple glazing without compromising the super slim profile and have a Window Energy Rating (WER) of up to A on double glazing.

Alongside the two new vent profiles, the addition of a flush transom allows for the fabrication of cruciform windows achieving a fully flush outer frame look, whilst the introduction of a further slim outer frame profile can be used to achieve an even slimmer outer frame sight line.

Reverse rebate adapters are also included, enabling fabricators to bead the window on the same side as the vent.

Reynaers product manager, Ian Osborne, said: “Heritage aesthetics are going from strength to strength for commercial and residential buildings. Keeping a close eye on current trends, we identified an opportunity to develop additional profiles for the SL 68 range that combined strong performance characteristics, slim sightlines and most importantly, ease of fabrication.”
