WINDOWS & DOORS

Aztech use only selected hardwoods imported from Europe, Malaysia and America and all timber comes from sustainable and renewable sources as regulated by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), with a new tree being planted for each one felled. Meranti, oak, sapele, idigbo and mahogany are all very durable, diffuse porous hardwoods that are naturally resistant to rot and fungal attack and they also boast natural oils which are highly resistant to water penetration.

Aztech insist that our timber suppliers work within the guidelines of the Governments Central Point of Expertise on Timber ensuring that the correct environmental control is maintained. This means Aztech’s product uses only renewable sources as the prime raw material and are sourced in accordance with forestry and logging controls and being certified under FSC giving an appropriate chain of custody.

Timber is not just renewable, but is one of the most energy efficient materials available, as it takes less energy to produce than other products such as UPVc and aluminium.

Aztech’s products are manufactured in our modern British factory using the latest fabrication techniques available in the woodworking and joinery industry and are under the close scrutiny and control of our Directors. This enables us to produce the high quality products that our customers would expect and deserve. Before leaving the factory, all of our products receive a hi-build factory sprayed finish.

Unlike some of our competitors, we do not use laminated or engineered timber, but solid hardwood products, which are hand finished to perfection by our carpenters on site.

Your UPVc products are guaranteed not to discolour, harden, crack or be affected by the extremes of temperature as they as manufactured and extruded in accordance with BS7412, BS7413 and BS7950. All frames are fully reinforced with box section aluminium or galvanised steel to BS2989.

Aztech’s sealed units contain low e glass in accordance with government regulations, with the option of Pilkington K glass if required, and are toughened, where required, to EN 12150 and BS EN 12600. Units are manufactured to the latest standards to optimise acoustics and thermal insulation using the most advanced hot melt pressurised sealing techniques to BS5713. This ensures long and trouble free reliability.

We can also offer argon gas filled options, warm edge spacer bar technology together with specialist solar control glazing as mentioned previously. Decorative features such as astragal bars or lead designs can be added if desired.

Casement windows can be fitted with adjustable stainless steel friction hinges or traditional butt hinges. An optional floating mullion system allows both sides of the casement window to open, truly bringing the outside in. Aztech’s advanced locking system conforms to BSI PAS 011 and is recognised to exceed the standards required by the Association of British Insurers. All opening windows can be secured in a trickle vent position allowing for ventilation without compromising security.

Vertical sliding sash windows can be operated with either balanced vertical springs or the more traditional sash cords and weights and include locking fitch catches.

All windows, whatever the style are draught proofed with a concealed co-extruded rolled Q Lon gasket system on the frame section giving maximum glass area. Opening windows have the latest high security multipoint shootbolt locking system. All bedrooms and inner rooms must have at least one fire egress hinge to comply with the latest building and fire regulations.
