Other benefits include superior profile designs for higher structural ratings and better forced entry resistance. “Our uPVC frame and sash profiles are welded which al- lows for superior performance and a reduced risk of leak- age.” Never forgetting the creativity of architecture, REHAU also offers the System 2500 Lift-Slide Door, a unique prod- uct capable of four-panel configurations up to 32 ft. wide, with large operable sashes up to 10 ft. by 7 ft. weighing as much as 550 lbs that can be activated with minimal ef- fort. The door design features high-performance details like four-chamber profiles, a thermally broken threshold de- sign and CST technology for outstanding energy efficiency and sound abatement. Other products include System 4500 Tilt-Turn Windows and Doors which Clavel says offer a range of accessory profiles for joining and installation beyond anything else available in the industry. “We also have our System Äspekt Casement coming this fall. This will be our second com- mercial product after System 4500 offering a more North American alternative to the Tilt-Turn.” REHAU products offer a wide range of interesting archi- tectural finishes in a variety of configurations and colour options for both interior and exterior.
