Reynaers Aluminium Systems have launched their new Eco-system range of windows and doors and Solair are amongst the first fabricators to take advantage of this thermally-enhanced suite of profiles . Aluminium has long been known as a fully-recyclable sustainable material and increased energy efficiency adds to it's green credentials.

Another welcome addition to our product range has arrived in the shape of high-performance composite doorsets. For total peace of mind, these are certified to 'Secured by Design' standards and are avilable in a range of designs and colours with plain or decorative glazing options. Performance is assured thanks to a triple-sealed 70mm uPVC outerframe coupled with a 5-point locking system incorporating hooks and roller cams. Brochures are now avilable from our West Bromwich office or via sales@solair.co.uk.

Mandatory air pressure testing for new buildings is now upon us, adding to the already considerable burden placed on site management. We are delighted to report that, at a recent seminar run by the Energy Saving Trust in conjunction with Linden Homes South East, Solair windows were singled out for praise after a random plot test as being 'amongst the best' they have ever tested. We have always claimed to offer a seriously high-performance window and are very please to have had our claims further substantiated!

As part of our policy of continued product improvement, we are now able to offer spray-foam insulation to all G.R.P. dormer roofs and bay window canopy lids. We believe that this will speed up progress on site as well as ensuring compliance with the latest thermal requirements. Because all of our dormers are supplied compete with an integral G.R.P. roof covering, they are ready for boarding as soon as the window has been installed, saving both time and money!
