New
Window System with Style and Performance
A
new high performance window system, Samson, has been launched by specialist
building component supplier Octaveward. Using a pultruded glass/polyester
composite, the company says 'the windows offer more choice of colours
than PVCu and the freedom from maintenance of architectural aluminium.'
Samson frames are suited to new build or refurbishment projects and
have a catalogue of customisation options. The frames offer long life,
high thermal performance and low lifetime cost of ownership.
Frames can be fabricated in traditional or modern styles. Internally
bonded corners are clean, without unsightly seams. A vast range of long
life matt or silk colour finishes, guaranteed for 15 years, give the
architect new options.

Internally, there is an option to finish the frames in natural wood
veneer to add warmth and character. Standard 24mm double glazed units
can be fitted with plain, patterned, leaded or decorated glass to suit
the style of property and customer taste.
The strength, durability and freedom from maintenance of the Samson
frames are due to the precision profiles from which they are constructed.
Glass composite construction gives the frames strength and impact resistance
without the need for metal reinforcement. Frames carry a 35 year warranty
and have a projected design life of over 60 years. Proven in the extreme
climates of Canada and Scandinavia, the frame material meets the British
Standards severe rating for wind and water tightness, thermal conductivity
and enhanced security.

The
Samson frame addresses the need for energy efficiency and sustainability.
It meets the latest Building Standards requirement for thermal efficiency
with a maximum U value of 2W/m2K. Eliminating metal reinforcement in
the frame means there are no cold bridges. Special glazing and frame
insulation options may reduce heat loss even more. Their extended life
and low maintenance means Samson frames achieve a low lifetime cost
of ownership.
'Samson Windows are just one product from Octaveward that make the built
environment more efficient, comfortable and attractive. A comprehensive
range of doors, canopies, porches and bespoke fabrications are available.
The company is happy to advise on selection and offers a complete installation
service.' says the company.
