French & British windows — aluminium systems

The heritage range — arched heads, Georgian glazing bars and slim steel-look sections in the French retro manner, in finishes the modern systems do not offer.

This is a different design language from the rest of the range: black steel-look frames, divided lights, arched heads, and brass-toned hardware — the look of early-century steel windows, built in thermally broken aluminium that does not rust and does not sweat.

Three specified systems — two window sections and a steel-look door — plus internal glazed doors, partitions and room dividers in the same language, specified per project. Finishes run black, white and oxblood.

Heritage and transitional architecture — the modern systems would look wrong
Interior partitions and glazed doors with the crittall look
Projects where the window is the character of the facade, not a hole in it

03

Inside the frame

The same system, cut open. This is what sits behind the plaster once the trim goes on — and it is where a window succeeds or fails.

A narrow-frame section cut through the sash and outer frame — **The narrow sightline**How little frame you can see is a function of how much structure sits behind it. This is the section that lets the sightline run slim without losing rigidity.

The thermal breakThose blue strips are PA66 polyamide, threaded through the profile to hold the inner and outer halves apart so heat and condensation cannot bridge the metal.

A window frame cut open in driving rain, showing the concealed drainage chamber in the sill — **The hidden drainage path**Rain driven at the frame collects inside the sill chamber and leaves through a concealed slot, instead of running down the face of the window.

Performance

The supplier states a maximum unit size rather than an opening-sash range for this family.

What a specific opening achieves depends on its size, exposure and installation. That is why we assess the opening before we specify the system.
