AluK launches new flush variant of popular 58bw window system
AluK has added yet another variant to its hugely versatile 58BW window system, with the launch of the new 58BW Flush. This gives AluK customers a clever and cost-effective way of targeting the fast growing flush window market with a window which requires just three new flush profiles and no changes to their existing 58BW fabrication set-ups.
Marketing Director Sioned Roberts says that for AluK customers it represents a real opportunity to win business not just in the traditional timber replacement market, but also in those domestic and commercial projects where the emphasis is on contemporary styling. She explains: “The 58BW Flush offers a perfect combination of flush finish and the option of slim sightlines, which makes it ideal for contemporary new-builds and refurbishment projects replacing slimline timber or even steel. It’s a natural extension to the 58BW system and, like the rest of the range, is quick and easy to fabricate.”
The new AluK 58BW Flush is available with a choice of contemporary sashes to create either 70mm or slimmer 46mm sightlines. The sharp shadow line can be achieved with open-out sashes in bottom, top, side, french casement, and multi-light opening, fitted using dummy sashes.
AluK is confident that it is once again leading the way with the 58BW Flush in terms of design innovation. For example, it features a double rebate which means it can achieve market-leading weather performance even in more exposed locations, and it utilises common hardware with the existing 58BW and Heritage ST windows which ensures that it can withstand a full range of weather conditions. The 58BW Flush achieves greater weather performance with friction stays on the side-hung windows, where alternatives in the market offer peg stays that are vulnerable to damage in windy conditions.
Like the rest of the 58BW range, the 58BW Flush is available in stock on a five-day lead time in grey, white and black single and dual colours. Coinciding with the launch of the new window, AluK has unveiled a new range of handles to suit the new Flush addition as well as the other styles within the 58BW range: Tilt-Before-Turn, Steel Replacement and standard casement windows. The handles are suited aesthetically across open-in and open-out and are available in colour-matched anthracite grey as well as black, white and silver. Whilst offering more choice, the new handle range is a stylish and cost-effective choice for fabricators.
All of the variants in AluK’s 58BW system can be manufactured using the same core components. More details are available at: www.alukgb.com/58bwflush
