At this year’s Ecobuild, Internorm will be offering visitors to its stand, including housebuilders, self builders, local authority specifiers and architects, one of the widest range of Passivhaus and low energy windows and doors on offer.
Visitors should also look out for the company’s exciting range of new products, which will be launched at the show.
With product’s offering exceptional technical qualities combined with superior energy, acoustic and security performance, Internorm is Europe’s leading brand for windows and doors. The company’s extensive offering includes UPVC, and UPVC/aluminium windows, in addition to timber/aluminium windows. What’s more, the company is the only window manufacturer in Europe with nine Passivhaus certified components.
The UPVC and UPVC/aluminium range, which is available in a wide choice of designs and colour options, have excellent thermal performance with Uw values up to 0.74W/m2K. As a result, specifiers can take advantage of a completely unique window specification that is bespoke according to the performance and aesthetic requirements of the project in hand.
Customers who choose timber/aluminium designs benefit from further environmental credentials, with exceptional Uw values of up to 0.63W/m2K, in addition to the aesthetic qualities timber provides. This combined with exceptional energy performance makes timber/aluminium ideal for both traditional as well as contemporary projects. The range also offers a choice of either spruce or larch timber interior finishes. The performance of Internorm’s timber/aluminium windows is enhanced by an innovative composite construction that incorporates a highly insulating thermal foam.
Additional features unique to Internorm include Fix-O-Round technology, a continuous all-round fixing for the window pane, providing a continuous connection for the glazing with the window frame. The benefits are improved stability, thermal insulation and soundproofing, burglary protection and greater durability of the window unit for its entire lifespan.
In addition, a choice of glazing is also available including SOLAR+ glass, a specialist thermal coating, available on all triple glazed windows as standard. SOLAR+ triple glazing maximises the potential energy gains provided through solar irradiation. It prevents subsequent heat loss through the window with very low Ug values, helping to maintain a comfortable, carbon and energy efficient interior environment that is also cost effective for the user.
Other additional features include I-tec Shading, a specialist self-powered solar blind, which is the perfect option when electricity supply is unavailable. Also, part of the I-tec range is I-tec Ventilation, which is the first of its kind in the UK. The I-tec ventilator, which is completely integrated into the new Home Pure KF 500 window system, is equipped with an integrated MVHR- heat recovery system that reduces energy losses to a minimum through the achieved 86% heat recovery. This system that ensures that the occupants within a building have a constant supply of fresh air.
Internorm boasts the whole package – in addition to offering the highest quality products the company also boasts BBA and Secured by Design certification amongst others. The company also offers a RIBA-approved CPD, which provides architects with an insight into building low energy and Passivhaus standard properties in addition to how windows and doors play a significant role.
Internorm’s Thomas Hagen commented, “Windows and doors are a key component of any building – as well as providing a function they are also key for aesthetic appeal. With this in mind, getting their specification correct is paramount not only for the short term but for years to come. Our extensive experience perfectly positions us to provide architects, specifiers and end clients the right advice in selecting the correct product.”
