WOOD WINDOW
Andersen Windows and Doors is expanding its E-Series product line to include a new white oak species option. The whole range encompasses 50 standard exterior colours, custom colours and anodized finishes, plus a range of interior wood species and interior stains. For a cohesive look the same manufacturer’s Big Doors are already available in White Oak.
FLOODLIGHT CAMERA
The smartphone control on the Yale Floodlight Camera, allows homeowners to monitor the outside of their home at any time of the day or night. The unit combines the benefits of light and sound – with a 110dB built-in siren – there’s clear 1080 FHD video quality, and multiple lighting modes can configure the brightness to a maximum of 2,000 lumen.
ROOFLIGHT UPSTAND
Now that the Building Regulations require all rooflight upstands built on site to meet a 0.35W/m2K U-Value, Whitesales has developed a new pre-assembled timber sloping upstand to fit with its popular em.glaze fixed and hinged aluminium rooflights. There’s no need to build anything separate on site or worry about U-Value calculations for Part L compliance.

ROOF WINDOWS
Bigger roof windows that are easier to install is the VELUX promise for the top hung variants of its 3in1 roof window solutions. All sashes can be removed to get the weight of the product down, the installation of the one-frame module means fewer components, and one installation and one lining is needed to get the benefits of multiple windows. The manufacturer also offers training on its products.

RECYCLED CONTENT
As part of an initiative to reduce its carbon emissions the VELUX Group has entered into a partnership agreement with Novelis, the world’s largest aluminium recycler, to provide high-recycled-content, flat-rolled aluminium for use in its roof windows. Recycling aluminium requires only 5% of the energy and results in up to 95% fewer carbon emissions.
