System 10 Aluminium from WHS-Halo is a radical new design concept. It looks like aluminium but at its heart is a specially designed PVC-U substrate that means the System 10 Aluminium can be used in places where ordinary aluminium windows cannot. Because of its revolutionary design System 10 Aluminium can be specified for buildings required to meet the most stringent thermal and ecological standards. However, unlike other systems currently available in the UK and Europe, it achieves those standards whilst retaining all the design flexibility and aesthetic appeal of traditional aluminium windows. No need to compromise on design to achieve lower carbon emissions. System 10 Aluminium must be considered one of the most significant developments in window design for many years.

System 10 Aluminium’s ability to deliver such exceptional performance results from a combination unique design concepts. They include:

  • A specially designed, multi-chamber PVC-U substrate that all but eliminates cold bridging.
  • Foam inserts the further improve the insulating properties of the PVC-U substrate
  • Specially designed seals that prevent heat loss around glazed units and between the sash and the frame
  • Foam filled thermal inserts

And, of course, System 10 Aluminium has many features that make it easy to incorporate it into a fabricators existing range, they include:

  • Mechanical joints for easy fabrication consistency with capitalisation
  • Reduced lead times for coloured profiles
  • Single leg clip in beads
  • Compatibility with other WHS-Halo products, including the energy efficient curtain walling system.
