Home in Franschhoek

New Look Window Systems manufactured uPVC windows and doors using the REHAU uPVC profile system for a home in Franschhoek, Western Cape, South Africa.

The owner of this residence required new windows and doors to replace the old wooden windows. His specification was that the new windows and doors be high security, energy efficient and require no maintenance other than the occasional wipe to clean.

New Look Window Systems were awarded the contract, as the REHAU uPVC window systems they use more than fulfil the customer requirements.

System	REHAU 60mm uPVC windows and doors
Special Features	Noise-reducing, double–glazed Tilt & Turn windows

The installation consisted of 12 UPVC mock sash casement windows with heritage bars, 3 single uPVC doors and 5 French (double) uPVC doors. In order to meet the security prerequisites, all windows and doors were fitted with double glazing (6.38 laminate external and 4mm internal glass), multi-point locks and decorative OGEE internal beading.

The REHAU uPVC window system offers thermal insulation, ensuring that the building is comfortable all year round, whatever the weather. The frames are UV stable and durable, meaning that they will never need to be sanded, varnished or painted and will not rot or warp, thus fulfilling the customer's wish for a no-nonsense window system.

"We find that an increasing number of home owners are choosing to replace their old windows with uPVC windows and doors due to the amazing advantages offered by REHAU's systems. It makes sense to replace with high quality products that last for more than 20 years", says Jörn Junger of New Look Window Systems.
