The VELFAC 200 window – in detail
Composite frame
The signature VELFAC frame combines durable external aluminium with natural, welcoming internal timber. By placing the moving aluminium sash directly in front of the fixed timber frame the window delivers a ‘floating sash’ effect, further emphasised by the recessed weather seal. The slim frame maximises natural light while uniform sightlines deliver an identical external appearance for every window unit, irrespective of opening function, manual or motorised operation, or whether double or triple glazed.
Low maintenance design
Proven to withstand the most extreme weather conditions, the external aluminium frame also never needs repainting for the lifetime of the installation.
Thermal performance
VELFAC windows offer U-values as low as 0.8W/m2K for triple glazed units. The slim frame contributes to excellent thermal (and acoustic) insulation as glass is a better insulator than the frame.
Sustainability
Sustainability is fundamental to the VELFAC design philosophy. All materials used are responsibly sourced, wood treatments are water-based, and every window unit is 93% re-usable.
Security
VELFAC 200 windows are Secured by Design approved and offer a range of security features including internal glazing beads (to prevent the external removal of glass panes), and multi-point locking systems. The external aluminium frame is also highly resistant to forced entry.
Glass options and accessories
VELFAC offers a range of glazing options to customise window performance, including a selection of opaque designs for added privacy and security. VELFAC-designed handles, hinges, restrictors and other accessories are also available.
Frame finishes
The standard VELFAC frame features polyester-powder coated external aluminium and painted or lacquered internal timber. The frame can be finished in different colours inside and out in any of the full range of RAL colours, or in a granite or anodised coating (aluminium only).
Warranties
VELFAC offers a 12 year comprehensive product warranty on all windows, and five years on all casement, sliding, and external doors.
VELFAC Doors
If you’re buying VELFAC windows then why not add a VELFAC entrance door? VELFAC doors combine durable aluminium with inner pine, and are available in a range of contemporary designs, including plain or grooved flush doors, or fully glazed or with glazed apertures. All VELFAC entrance doors are ‘Secured by Design’ accredited with security features including internal beading, to prevent external removal of glazing, exceptionally strong construction and multi-point locking. VELFAC doors can also be combined with VELFAC 200 windows to create glazed entrance screens.
