High Quality Windows
Your home is more than likely the single most significant investment you will make in your life and choosing the right windows and doors is an integral part of making your home secure, warmer, airtight, energy-efficient, stylish, and virtually maintenance-free.
Our windows are designed and manufactured on-site at our factory in Ballina, we are a family business so at the end of the day it’s important that the product we are sending out is the best we can achieve, built to last!! . We seldom make changes to the product but generally when we do, its to keep ahead of the times whether it’s in energy efficiency, security or whatever it may be importantly its to stay at the top in quality window and door manufacturing.
Quality is never compromised by cheap hardware, profiles, seals, or glazing. Most windows produced today are, whether it’s with co-extruded seals (explained below) or security locking but it always worth doing that research first.
When making desicions about the kind of windows to install, understanding what’s important for you can be difficult, so below we have compiled a list of 12 key things that will help you understand the key fetures to consider when selecting your choice of windows.
12 Essential Features to consider when Buying windows
- Energy Efficieny
- Internal Glazing
- Seals
- Security & Locking Systems
- HingesGlazing
- Air Tightness
- Chamber Profile
- Frames
- Joints
- Style
- Gaurantee
- A-Rated as Standard We use a 5 chamber frame with our Thermaglaze glass, combined with air tightness give the A rating. A rating means your heat stays in the house for longer without the need for as much fuel, average home can save up to 400 euro a year.
- Energy rated performance glass
- All our windows are fitted with our THERMAGLAZE double or triple glazing as standard assembled using a warm-edge spacer bar
- Internal Glazing
- The glazing is all done from the inside meaning it cannot be removed easily from the outside by any potential intruder.
- Qlon Synthetic Seals
- We don’t use rubber seals on our windows or mechanical applied seals due to the known fact that they can perish and deteriorate in a short space of time. Mechanically (co-extruded) applied seals have more of a chance of failure and cannot be replaced.
- They are an integral part of the window and are welded at the joints, straight away or a couple of years on, serious problems are known to occur. Known problems are shrinking, bleeding discoloring the window, perishing causing static seals that don’t perform. These common problems cause draughts which means energy-rated glass and energy-efficient frame are useless.
- We use a synthetic seal (Qlon)which does not have these common problems, year after year they hold their memory making sure your heat stays in the house where it should be. They are made up of a nylon exterior wall with a high-density memory foam center.
- Below are some examples, pic on the left shows a plastic packer used as a guide to show hard a hard corner where the gasket has little compression and on the right, it shows a perfect level compression.
- High-Security Locking
- We use high-security locks on all openings, they range from 4 to 8 points depending on the size of the opening, this not only offers great security but enhances the airtightness on the window.
- Heavy-duty hinges on side openings are very important, these sashs have a lot of weight to carry and are most commonly used. Many different types of hinges fail in this area causing draughts and eventually fail to close at all.
