Profile 22 has launched the latest version of its specification guide, developed to support architects and specifiers find their way through the sometimes complex process of window and door specification.
The guide includes everything from the specification of hardware through to compliance with building regulations and energy efficiency.
This includes details on its low carbon recycled window RECO22 offering A+ Green Guide rating across all commercial and domestic applications. With a carbon footprint of extruded profile of just six per cent of that manufactured using virgin material, a triple glazed option means that it achieves a u-value as low as 0.8 W/m2K.
Profile 22, commercial development director, Andrew Reid, said: “Technology, as in many industries, is moving exceptionally quickly in the window and door sector. Nine or 10 years ago PVC-U wasn’t widely recycled, now we’re able to offer a fully recycled, low carbon in manufacture and thermally efficient and by implication low carbon in life, product range.”
“As one of a number of product types specifiers and architects have to get their heads around it can be very difficult to stay abreast of the latest technology, let alone specify the right mix of that technology for their project. The specification guide from Profile 22 is about simplifying that process.”
The specification guided also details of the full specification support offered by Profile 22’s in-house technical team including training and specification programs plus how to find a commercial window contractor through the Profile 22 Approved Window Contractor scheme
