Duffel, July 2010 - Reynaers Aluminium introduces a range of systems combining a strong aluminium base with a wood finishing, offering an innovative hybrid product ideal for those looking for the appeal of a wooden profile with the benefits of aluminium. The combination of solid wood for the internal profiles with the thermally insulated aluminium core and outer scale results in superior stability and long-lasting functionality, reducing maintenance to a minimum. The new range is available in RW 100 system for windows and doors as well as in RW 105 sliding system and offers a variety of options and possibilities for architects and builders to work with.
Thermal insulation combined with natural woods
The Reynaers aluminium profiles, used for the construction of the outer part of the alu-wood, are thermally broken by means of polyamide strips. Due to the thermal break in the aluminium profile in combination with the insulating properties of the wooden inner profile, condensation can be reduced to a minimum.
The natural wood profiles are triple coated and finished off with a water-based product, which are both environment-friendly. The aluminium base can be combined with a wide choice of solid wood offering various finishing types suitable for various applications including ash painted cherry, tuliper painted mahogany, natural oak, natural ash, ash painted dark and light walnut and pickled ash.
As such, these new highly insulating alu-wood solutions can be used in any interior and architectural style.
RW 100 system for windows and doors
The RW 100 system for the construction of combined alu-wood windows and doors consists of an internal profile in wood and an external one in aluminium with thermal break. The internal profiles in solid natural wood show the first-rate quality of the product. Never in direct contact with the aluminium, it allows further insulation thus avoiding thermal expansion problems caused by the use of different materials. Thanks to the good thermal insulation values, the alu-wood system can be applied almost anywhere, taking into account the local legislations. Laboratory tests show the impeccable product quality, with CE mark. The profiles have an overall system depth of 82mm for the frame and 100mm for the vent. Besides, the use of hardware generates greater functionality due to its ability to act on several closing points, thus allowing a satisfactory adjustment of the doors.
RW 105 sliding system
The RW 105 sliding system consists of a wooden interior and an external insulated aluminium profile. The RW sliding window is a high-end quality product with a good insulation value. The profiles have a construction depth of 150mm for the frame and 64mm for the vent. The system uses a multi-point locking mechanism operated by one handle or, upon request, a three-point closing or double handle.
