Why Choose PVCu? uPVC (unplasticised PolyVinyl Chloride) was the term used in Britain before the name was changed to PVCu in the late 1980s to fall in line with the rest of Europe. It’s called PVCu on the continent because most European languages place the noun (the word PVC in this case) before the adjective (U).

Thermally Efficient It’s well known that PVCu is a low conductor of heat, helping to retain warmth within a building and keep the cold out. This is further enhanced by designing multiple chambers inside the window profiles, allowing them to trap air and create a thermal barrier. Add double or triple glazing to a PVCu frame, and U-values as low as 0.8 W/m²K can be achieved. PVCu outperforms any other material, with 10 times more PVCu windows achieving an ‘A’ rating compared to the nearest alternative.

Attractive The old chunky white PVCu frames seen in the 1980s are well and truly in the past. With a wide range of woodgrain effects and colours, as well as slim sightlines, PVCu windows can be as aesthetically pleasing as their timber or aluminium counterparts. Designs have advanced to the extent that sashes can sit flush in the frame, mirroring a pre-1932 style timber frame – ideal for conservation properties where timber is preferred, or alternatively to offer a sleek, contemporary appearance.

Durable PVCu windows have an expected life span of up to 35 years. Frames will not rot, corrode, warp or split, and special additives make them tough enough to suit European requirements. In addition, the lightweight nature of a PVCu frame makes it easier to handle and install, reducing time on site for fitters and contractors.

Why Choose PVCu?

Low maintenance With PVCu, the ongoing maintenance consists of a wipe down with warm soapy water, making them simpler and more cost effective to look after. Woodgrain or foiled windows with minor scratches can be repaired using a RAL-matched pen. Contrast this with timber windows – they need treating or painting on a regular basis, which is time consuming and can be costly. Aluminium windows can fade and oxidise when exposed to the sun, often requiring the use of specialist cleaners and coatings to restore.

Weather proof PVCu windows are ideal for the damp British weather. The frames will not swell or rot, and co-extruded gaskets provide excellent resistance to air and water. With both timber and aluminium frames, the seals are added in afterwards. Joints can also shrink back over time, causing gaps in the seals. With PVCu, the gaskets are welded together as part of the manufacturing process, providing a continuous seal all the way round and eliminating draughts for longer.

Benefit vs. cost There are three distinct areas where installing PVCu windows saves on cost and adds benefit: •

Lower purchase price and installation costs

•

Higher energy savings over the life of the windows, and

•

Lower maintenance costs.

The Science Behind the System

Patented Bubble Gasket (2) Historically, PVCu window systems were fitted with a range of EPDM (rubber) gaskets at the fabrication stage, similar to the method still used on timber and aluminium windows. The resulting permeability of the assembled frame was dependent upon the quality of each seal joint, with many suffering from draughts and wind noise. The PVCu extrusion process lends itself to the wellestablished technology of co-extrusion - adhering the gasket onto the frame using a separate extrusion machine during manufacture. This evolutionary step eliminates the time-consuming gasket insertion process and creates a more reliable corner seal at each joint. Many PVCu window systems make use of co-extruded gaskets, most adapting existing profiles to the process. Starting from scratch, the Liniar team had no constraints, and spent a significant amount of time developing its patented bubble gasket to outperform all others in speed of fabrication and in permeability - achieving a zero air leakage during independent tests at BSI.The

design of both the gasket and the area behind the gasket is crucial, not only to the permeability of the finished window, but during the welding process where hard lumps can form in the corners of each joint, cracking sealed units. Liniar’s dual-action gasket performs equally well as a soft dynamic seal on opening sashes as it does as a firm glazing gasket for sealed units, its tolerance friendly design always ensuring a whistle-free seal inside and out – and no gaps, not even in the corners.

Enhanced Thermal Performance As the quantity and spacing of internal webs reduce thermal transmittance through Liniar frames, the flow is directed towards the path of least resistance. To address this, the Liniar design team introduced a brace of simple but effective ancillary products. The first is the innovative glazing flipper (3) – this can be clipped onto the short central up-stand within the glazing area, creating a thermal barrier and additional

gasket, and sealing the perimeter of any glazed unit keeping the heat in and moisture out. The second is the patented thermal dam (4) – introduced to address heat loss at the outer edge of the frame, Liniar’s clip-in thermal dam creates a multichambered barrier with optimized leg spacing and is

manufactured from recycled material produced during the extrusion ‘start-up’ procedure. The result is a supremely energy efficient double glazed product, one capable of achieving a cost-effective A+ Window Energy Rating, or 1.2 Wm²/K U-Value and if required a triple glazed 0.8 Wm²/K U-Value window.

Part F Part F details ventilation requirements to maintain indoor air quality. For both new and existing buildings the key aim of Part F is to provide a ventilation system capable of limiting the accumulation of moisture and pollutants originating within a building which would otherwise become a hazard to the health of the people living within the building. This has become more prominent in recent years with the increase in air tightness of buildings. Liniar windows can assist with background ventilation by fitting windows with head vents, providing secure, draught-free ventilation (see page 48).

WERS and Energy Efficiency

WERs (Window Energy Ratings) show how energy efficient a window is. The Window Energy Ratings scale is designed by the British Fenestration Ratings Council (BFRC) to measure the thermal performance of windows, and enables different windows to be compared on a scale that runs from A++ down to E.

The rainbow labels you will see are simiar to the ones found on household appliances, such as a TV, fridge or freezer. A++ is the most energy efficient and E the least efficient.

The formula used to calculate a WER takes into consideration various factors:

•

U-value (of the glass Ug and frames Uf)

•

the solar heat gain of ‘G value’ of the glass

•

air leakage rate of all the components of the fitted window

The U-value is the measure of heat loss in watts (W) per square metre (m2) of the material when the temperature (K) outside is at least 1 degree cooler.

When the U-value has been calculated it is combined with the solar gain of the glass and the air leakage rate and given a numerial BFRC rating, this is then converted into a band A++ to E.

Building regulations now state that new homes must have windows with an energy rating of at least C or a U-value of 1.6W/m2K

Passive House Passive House is a rigorous voluntary standard for energy efficiency in a building, reducing it’s carbon footprint.

The new Liniar EnergyPlus90 system, can achieve U-values as low as 0.5 W/m2K - standards for Passive House.

Case Study - Energy Efficiency Liniar Helps Generate Energy For Eco-House Project Four years ago, Jo and Andy Thompson were living in social housing at Unity Gardens, Long Sutton, Lincolnshire - one of the UK’s first zero-carbon housing developments.

Standard house builders will usually get U-values of around 1.7W/m2K - but the aim for this property was to get below 1.0W/m2K.

Window System

Liniar’s innovative window system is available in a choice of chamfered and sculptured suites, with all styles in a wide range of colours and finishes to suit any building or project. Thermally efficient Liniar’s revolutionary 70mm profiles are far more thermally efficient than traditional PVCu window profiles. By removing unnecessary steel reinforcement, instead developing the latest in multi-chambered profile technology, the heat stays where it belongs - inside the property.

Cost effective The reduction in steel results in a more cost effective window at the fabrication stage. Fitter friendly features also reduce installation times, saving money on the job. The occupant also benefits with systems capable of A++ and U-values as low as 0.8W/m2K.

Better for the environment Liniar frames have always been 100% lead-free, well in advance of legislation. Furthermore, all elements of a Liniar window are fully and easily recyclable at the end of its life.

Guaranteed Liniar profiles come with a 10 year guarantee against cracking, warping or discolouration.

Case Study - Casement Windows & Lantern Roof School project proves to be a real education. The challenge of transforming a 100-year-old school building into upmarket residential homes is no mean feat – but that is exactly the task that one building firm has undertaken and the outstanding result puts them top of the class. The old Shirland Primary School, near Higham in Derbyshire, became available to buy after the school was relocated to a new building in 2011 and Linden Design & Build Ltd purchased it, with planning

Don Berry of Linden Design & Build, explained: “Firstly we had to replace all of the roofing and render the two existing buildings before installing new windows and doors. Because of the nature of the properties, the windows were going to be a fundamental feature of the finished design. “We chose cream foiled casement windows to give the properties a classy appearance, with French doors, a lantern roof and residential doors to match.”

Door System

The profile around a Liniar door contains multiple chambers to minimise the transfer of heat. This, together with other innovative design enhancements, helps to minimise energy costs. Residential Doors Liniar fabricators offer a wide selection of PVCu residential doors, all with the same energy efficient profile as Liniar windows, together with high security locks and the strongest weather seals.

Composite Doors Offering up to 6 times the insulation of a timber door, a Liniar composite door offers the look of timber with superb thermal performance.

French Doors An attractive alternative to sliding patio or bi-folding doors, French doors open inwards or outwards, with the highest thermal performance and security.

ModLok™ Residential and French doors are available with ModLok™ technology - a unique modular exoskeletal combined lock and aluminium reinforcement system, encasing PVCu doors and preventing expansion and movement. For more information about ModLok for residential, French, Bi-Fold and Patio doors, see page 62.

the master door will open first, so there’s no chance of spraining locks by trying to open the wrong door. The shootbolt locking mechanism designed into each Liniar ModLok™ bi-folding door ensures that it is bolted firmly into the stainless steel track, maximising security. Built in anti-lift features, anti-bump cylinders and optional anti-snap cylinders combine to bring you peace of mind.

Size wise ModLok™ also offers enhanced security features, including three opposing hooks and two shootbolts built in to every master door, plus two anti-lift shootbolts on every slave door. Liniar’s ModLok™ has been designed to take the PVCu sector into new areas. Its fully patented aluminium exo-skeleton means that our bi-folding doors can now reach the same size parameters as their aluminium counterparts – you can choose up to 7 panes wide to span the entire width of your garden room and open it to the outside. We’ve added slim hinges with the fixings hidden

ModLok™ for Patio doors The Liniar patio system features the innovative ModLok™ system to combine steel reinforcing with a high security locking mechanism – offering far greater security than other patio door systems.

Strong and secure With four hook bolts plus two shootbolts at the top and bottom of the sliding door, the Liniar patio’s locking mechanism has been designed so the hooks don’t protrude into the room, even when the door is open, making it extremely family friendly. To make the patio door even more secure, choose the latest ‘anti-snap’ locking cylinders. With 3-star security, these cylinders offer even greater protection against the more determined would-be intruder using tools to break the cylinder and gain entry by manipulating the door to open.

Low threshold option The Liniar low threshold is thermally broken, adding to the energy efficiency of your patio doors. As with the bi-fold low threshold, no excavation is required to fit the low threshold, cutting down on installation time and mess. Choose from silver or gold options to co-ordinate with handles.

Better for the environment Not often considered when buying a new product for your home, ModLok™ technology has a big environmental advantage when the doors eventually come to the end of their life. Metal parts included in other PVCu systems mean that they cannot easily be recycled without lots of effort to strip them down. However, as ModLok™ comprises seamless steel sections, they are simple to separate once the doors are removed, enabling the PVCu to be recycled faster and with much less effort.

Case Study - French Doors Working in ‘Harmony’ for 1.6m Torquay luxury beach project A picturesque Devonshire beach front has

Harmony’s Contracts Manager, Ross Bigwood,

undergone a stunning transformation – and

takes up the story:

Liniar French doors were used as part of the ambitious £1.6m development.

“As a preferred contractor of Interserve we were delighted to take on this project. But as

Torbay Council contracted construction firm

the main focus of our business is aluminium,

Interserve with the task of demolishing the

and PVCu was specified, we had to do our

old huts and replacing them with a modern

homework as to what brand of doors to use.

complex. Headquartered in the UK, Interserve is one of the world’s foremost construction companies, with gross revenues of £3.3 billion and a workforce of approximately 80,000 people worldwide. The scheme involved the huge logistical challenge of installing pre-cast concrete units in areas with restricted access. The design successfully aligned the new development to the sea wall, creating a tapered effect that fits in with the cliff backdrop and pine-studded cove. The two-storey complex of 144 luxury chalets has an upper tier with private balconies, each chalet fitted with an electricity supply, kitchen worktop and cupboards, to be available for use throughout the year. As part of the design for the project, double French PVCu doors were specified for each beach hut.

“After some extensive research we found that the excellent thermal efficiency offered by Liniar profiles, coupled with the highly competitive price, made it the obvious choice. “Our fitters loved the product. The French doors were simple to install and we couldn’t have asked for better usability and workability. The superior thermal efficiency provided by the Liniar profile was vital for the location of the beach huts as they are designed to be in use throughout the year.” Harmony began work on-site in January with a tight deadline to have all 144 beach huts fitted out before the Easter Bank Holiday – and despite some inevitable delays caused by the weather, the assignment was completed ahead of schedule. Once all of the doors had been fitted, timber shutters were installed to provide protection painted in 15 different shades of blue.

ModLok™ Patio Door

As with the window system, the Liniar sliding patio door was designed from scratch to take advantage of the very latest technology, and has been cyclic tested by Liniar’s in-house robot to provide assurance that it’s built to last. Strong and secure The Liniar patio door features the patented ModLok™ system, a combined reinforcement and multi-point locking system developed in conjunction with leading lock manufacturers. In addition, all external sliders feature multiple anti-lift properties to combat would-be intruders.

Unique ‘air glide’ system Other patio doors operate on a four-wheel steel opening system. The Liniar patio features a unique eight-wheel acetal system, providing stability, durability and smooth, silent operation.

Self-cleaning track One of the reasons other patio doors are hard to open is when dirt and mud fall into the track. The Liniar patio features built-in brushes that sweep the track clean every time the door is opened.

Attractive With ultra-slim sculptured sightlines, no unsightly crash stops and a built-in decelerator, the Liniar patio door is one of the most attractive on the market.

PVCu Bi-Fold Door The first bespoke PVCu bi-fold to be launched in the UK, the Liniar bi-fold was designed from scratch with unique components. Standard Bi-Fold The advent of home designer and self-build television programmes created a new generation of homeowners wanting to open up entire walls of their homes to let in light and air. The very first PVCu bi-folding doors were made from existing window components and were unattractive. In addition, the nature of PVCu means it can contract and expand, causing challenges with the long-term robustness of these early doors. The Liniar team went back to the drawing board and created a bi-folding door system with brand new components – including a unique roller, slim hinges and fixings and a low threshold option. Since its launch in 2010 the concept has been reimagined to introduce the heavy duty ModLok™ bifold.

ModLok™ Bi-Fold The second generation of PVCu bi-folds came with the Liniar ModLok™ bi-fold system in 2014. This design totally re-engineered the doors, creating an exoskeletal aluminium structure that combines reinforcement with a multi-point locking system around each pane. The robust nature of the ModLok™ bi-fold means it successfully passed PAS24 security testing, and has been cyclic tested to more than 10 times the British Standard without failing.

Its beautifully sleek appearance and detailed design features make it a popular choice for both modern and traditional dwellings. The ModLok™ bi-fold has been cyclic tested to more than 10 times British Standards.

Alumina Bi-Fold Alumina is a ‘true’ aluminium bi-folding door system that encompasses the highest degree of energy efficiency combined with an optional ‘warm touch’ foiled exterior. Ideal for large scale and commercial applications. With PAS 24 and Secured by Design accreditation granted at the first attempt, the Alumina bi-fold also offers the ultimate in security.

Conservatory Roof

The Liniar conservatory roof matches perfectly with its range of PVCu windows and doors - resulting one of the most thermally efficient conservatories in the UK. A touch of colour Liniar’s revolutionary EnergyPlus conservatory roof is available in a stunning range of colours from stock and is designed to match perfectly with the rest of the Liniar window and door ranges.

Designed for today Our unique EnergyPlus twin-walled top caps keep more of the warmth inside the building, making it less expensive to heat. Liniar’s carefully engineered roof design results in no holes or gaps for water ingress - and the innovative security measures built into the Liniar roof means that it can’t be taken apart from the outside – making it virtually burglar-proof.

Adding extra space From lean-to sunrooms to large Victorian garden rooms, each Liniar conservatory roof is designed and built to your exact specifications – in as little as five days from quote acceptance.

Roof kits The Liniar conservatory roof is available to installers in kit format, making it simple to assemble, fit and adjust on-site.

Ancillaries

Ensure a perfect match with the Liniar range of trims and couplings. Specifying a full Liniar installation ensures a single point of guarantee, in addition to colour matched products. Cills and reinforcements Liniar cills are available in five sizes along with a range of end caps, jointers and reinforcing. Cills are designed to match the Liniar suite and can be foiled to colour match the Liniar range of window systems. Cills are multi-chambered for strength.

Structural couplings Liniar has a comprehensive range of frame couplers, which are necessary for the combination of window sections. We have provided tables showing the end loads for all Liniar couplers, which have been calculated in accordance with the BPF Code of Practice for the Survey and Installation of White High Impact PVCu WIndows.

Trims Liniar foam trims are designed and manufactured at the same UK extrusion facility as its range of windows, doors and roofs – using the same high quality manufacturing processes and materials.

Structural Couplings

These ‘load tables’ have been calculated in accordance with BPF Code of Practice for the Survey and Installation of White High Impact PVCu Windows and are only applicable for those joint profiles restrained at their centre. The load tables must not be applied to those joint profiles used in isolation. All structural couplings are to be used with the corresponding Liniar bay pole jack when used for end (axial) loadings.

20mm must be allowed for coupling on all joints.

PVCu Butt Joint

The Liniar PVCu Butt Joint is not designed to take any end loadings. End loads for all the other Liniar couplers are listed below

150

Custom Sash Weight Calculation All custom sash weight is calculated by taking the overall width and height of the sash and assuming it is made completely from glass. The calculation is as follows:

1m 1mm Calculate the glazing weight per m2 1mm thickness of glass weight 2.5kg/m2

To calculate the weight per m2 of a glazed unit, add up the total thickness of the glass e.g. 8.4/14/6 = 8+6mm of glass (14mm)

Multiply the total glass thickness by 2.5kg/m2 e.g. 14 x 2.5 = 35kg/m2 This is the glazed unit weight m2

The following formulas can now be used to calculate the sash weight

Sash weight (kg) = glazing weight/m2 (kg) x (sash width (m) x sash height (m))

Maximum sash weights are shown on the left hand side. If heavier than 4-20-4 glazing is used, or sash sizes are increased using the ‘10% rule’ it’s important to use the above formula to ensure maximum sash sizes are not exceeded.

Technical Information

Wind Loading BS 6399-2:1997 gives dead and minimum recommended imposed loads for use in designing buildings. It applies to: •

new buildings and new structures

•

alterations and additions to existing buildings and structures

•

existing construction on change of use

For windows manufactured at an abnormally large size, or those, which will feature within a glass facade, please consult the Liniar design office for wind load calculations. Calculations are performed in accordance with BS 6399-2:1997, loading for buildings, code of practice for wind loads.

CE Marking BS EN 14351-1:2006+A1:2010 Windows and Doors. Product standard and performance characteristics. Windows and external pedestrian doorsets without resistance to fire and/or smoke leakage characteristics. •

CE Marking became a legal requirement on 1st July 2013 for construction products supplied within the EU and the UK, including windows and external doorsets.

•

By affixing the CE label, a manufacturer is declaring conformity with all legal requirements applicable to its products.

•

CE Marking is a self certification scheme and requires minimal involvement with independent third parties.

It is the responsibility of the organisation supplying the complete product to market to provide the CE certification. Responsibility to comply and provide a CE mark falls to the installer/organisation adding the glazed unit to the frame. Failure to comply may result in prosecution, fines and possible prison sentences.

152

Condensation Water vapour is naturally present in the atmosphere. Natural water content is increased by normal day to day living – for example, activity that generates steam such as cooking, bathing, laundering, boiling a kettle and even breathing. The water vapour remains undetectable while floating in warm air – but upon contact with cold surfaces such as windows, mirrors and tiles, condensation occurs as the vapour turns into water droplets. Traditional house construction allowed the escape of this water vapour through natural ventilation, including open flues of coal fires, air bricks and ill-fitting windows and doors – however, the drive to conserve energy and reduce heating costs has led to the sealing of homes, resulting in trapped water vapour and increased problems with condensation. With Liniar’s highly energy efficient windows and doors, condensation can even form on the outside face of a double glazed unit, due to the external surface being much colder than the inside. Certain elevations of property can be more susceptible to condensation e.g. north facing buildings.

Survey and Installation Liniar strongly recommends that all installations comply with the code of practice for installation of PVCu window and door sets. BS8213 gives recommendations for the surveying and installation of non-load bearing windows and external doorsets of any material, to be installed vertically into the external face of buildings. It gives guidance on the good practices necessary for the successful surveying and installation of windows and external doorsets in both new build and replacement situations. It is primarily aimed at installations in dwellings but much of the guidance given is relevant to other types of installations. For more information refer to BS 8213-4:2007.

153

Technical Information

Approved Fabricators Liniar windows and doors are manufactured by a wide network of fabricators across the UK, many of which have gone through a stringent testing and validation process to become Liniar Approved Fabricators. Where a Liniar fabricator has the stamp of approval, you can be assured the windows and doors they produce: •

Contain only Liniar supplied or approved parts

•

Use only Liniar approved manufacturing processes

•

Conform to the latest British Standards

•

Have been quality checked before leaving the factory

•

Are CE marked in accordance with the latest regulations.

In addition, all Liniar Approved Fabricators have a clear dispute resolution process in place - giving customers assurance that any problems will be swiftly dealt with, together with the peace of mind offered by the Liniar 10 year profile guarantee.

Liniar 10 Year Guarantee Liniar profiles are manufactured using tried and tested formulations from approved suppliers and will not warp, split or discolour for 10 years* from date of installation. The Liniar guarantee is issued in association with our raw material suppliers and based on proven technology for UV stabilised products. Further details, weathering data and full conditions can be supplied on request. All products are to be installed to Liniar recommendations. * Liniar bi-folding and patio doors consist of a wide variety of components that cannot be covered under one guarantee see separate product guarantees for more information.

154

Hardware The Liniar system is compatible with a wide range of quality hardware, resulting in better choice for the end user. From child-friendly safety features such as restrictors, to security features including hinge guards, Liniar’s network of approved fabricators can produce windows and doors to your exact specifications – with a huge choice of handles offering a contemporary or traditional appearance. Bi-folding and patio doors offer Liniar’s patented ModLok™ security technology including shoot-bolts, anti-lift and anti-snap features, and handles in white, black, gold or chrome. For more information, see the Liniar Specifer’s Centre at www.liniar.co.uk/specifers.

Installer Support The full Liniar range has been designed to save time for installers, making it ideal for large scale commercial projects where speed is of the essence. Bespoke glazing platforms mean double or triple glazed units are fitted to the frame more effectively, and Liniar’s unique beading system provides a quick, easy and attractive finish. The Liniar patio can be mechanically jointed, making it easier to install in hard-to-reach areas, and the low threshold option on both the patio and bi-fold systems doesn’t require trench excavation, reducing preparation time. Liniar’s co-extruded gaskets ensure no draughts or leaks for the end user – resulting in fewer call-backs for installers. With guidance for on-site fitters including a range of installation guides and videos to ensure the highest quality installations, the Liniar range is also fully supported by an in-house technical team to answer any queries.

Fencing When it comes to fencing, PVCu may not be the obvious choice for anyone who’s used to more traditional materials, such as concrete and timber. But, as a growing number of landscapers, commercial developers and homeowners are discovering, it’s now the smart choice. Advances in technology over recent years have made fencing manufactured from PVCu a real alternative to more traditional materials – and for good reason. Light to carry, easy to install, weatherproof and virtually maintenance free, lead-free PVCu fencing from Liniar beats the competition hands down. You may be forgiven for thinking plastic fencing is too flexible to use as a border. However, the internal chambers, along with steel reinforcing within each panel of Liniar fencing, give it unparalleled strength, built to stand up to even the strongest winds and storms.

Piling Plastic piling is available ex-stock in a variety of lengths and is manufactured under the Liniar brand in HL Plastics’ own state-of-the-art factory in the heart of the UK. Our extrusion facility in Derbyshire boasts the largest mixing plant in Europe and continued investment keeps HL Plastics and Liniar at the forefront of innovation. We offer a versatile range of piling systems, including the traditional standard pile shape that can be configured as ‘Z-ribbed’ (for light use) or ‘box’ (for heavier use), and the facility for tying back and creating 90° corners.

Accessories A wide array of accessories offers an almost unlimited range of design options, presenting the opportunity to give a property a unique style. Liniar decking kits are supplied with standard caps, although enhancements are available for a more individual appearance. Liniar’s post caps provide an attractive finish to each post, and if foiled balustrading is required you’ll be delighted to know that the caps are also foiled for a perfect finish. Liniar decking kits are supplied with standard caps, although gothic, ball or acorn caps are available to add a striking effect. And for an even more illuminating touch the posts can be topped with lights. With two styles available - globe and solar – they are perfect to make an outdoor space the place to be on those warm summer nights.

Skirting Because skirting is utilised to complement the entirety of your home and not just the deck, it isn’t possible to be included in a kit, but can be easily purchased in full lengths as an addition. With a choice of ranch style (horizontal) or vertical, Liniar skirting is available in the full range of colours and finishes, providing the perfect match to the balustrade to complete your installation.

The Contracts Manager on the project commented: “Liniar log piling proved an absolute godsend! Once we’d removed all of the rotten wood the piling was nice and easy to install – much quicker than building a brick wall.

“We simply dug a trench then sat the piles in concrete and, because they are hollow, it enabled us to fill them with in-situ concrete mix to create an incredibly sturdy structure. “As they’re plastic, they won’t rot like timber, so they will be there for the long

Pressed and vinyl coloured panels were also used for a contemporary finish. The property in question was a former job centre in Pontefract town centre and the busy location meant that scaffolding couldn’t be used to fit the windows – not ideal on a five storey building! Although the windows were fitted internally, installers still had to hang out of the apertures on harnesses to complete the job to high standards.

“We were very impressed with the design and the clever features – the multiple chambers and the reduction of steel requirement in particular. “It’s led to lots of repeat work with the same developers, including a post office conversion in Sprotbrough.

Alumina doors have two distinct differences to other aluminium doors on the market: they have been designed with a sculptured shape that replicates the lines of Liniar PVCu windows; and they can be supplied with a foiled finish.

As a result, projects can now achieve the best of both worlds – cost effective and thermally efficient PVCu windows, with large scale aluminium doors – for a perfect match.

Why Choose Aluminium? aluminium [al-yuh-min-ee-uh-m] - noun a light, malleable, ductile, silvery-white metallic element that resists corrosion; the third most abundant element in the earth’s crust (8.1 per cent), occurring only as a compound, principally in bauxite.

Custom Sash Weight Calculation All custom sash weight is calculated by taking the overall width and height of the sash and assuming it is made completely from glass. The calculation is as follows:

1m 1mm

Calculate the glazing weight per m2 1mm thickness of glass weight 2.5kg/m2

To calculate the weight per m2 of a glazed unit, add up the total thickness of the glass e.g. 8.4/14/6 = 8+6mm of glass (14mm)

Multiply the total glass thickness by 2.5kg/m2 e.g. 14 x 2.5 = 35kg/m2 This is the glazed unit weight m2

The following formulas can now be used to calculate the sash weight

Sash weight (kg) = glazing weight/m2 (kg) x (sash width (m) x sash height (m))

Any glazing combination used must not exceed the maximum sash weight of 60kg

Accreditations and Testing

It’s important to Liniar to prove its products are backed by the highest standards, and an ongoing testing programme ensures that Alumina remain fully compliant – often ahead of legislation.

Alumina doors have been subjected to rigorous testing and have been confirmed as satisfying the demanding requirements of PAS:24 and Secured by Design, for your customers’ peace of mind.

PAS:24 & Part Q Part Q regulations introduced in 2015, state that all new ground floor dwellings and flats, together with new extensions, must meet strict criteria: “provision must be made to resist unauthorised access to any dwelling. In essence, doors must be “manufactured to a design that has been shown by test to meet the security requirements of British Standards PAS:24:2012” – so as the Alumina door range has already been accredited with this standard, they are fully Part Q compliant.

Quality assured All of Liniar’s operations have been assessed by the British Standards Institute and confirmed to meet the exacting requirements of ISO:9001, so you can be assured that your foiled pre-fabricated Alumina doors will be manufactured to the highest standards.

Weather Performance The Alumina bi-folding door from Liniar has been tested at its maximum door size with a thermally broken low threshold, achieving incredible results.

The 2.5m x 1.2m aluminium sash bi-fold was found to beat the minimum requirements for both air and water tightness by more than double the most severe pressures within BS6375 Part 1 – even with a low threshold; unusual for a bi-fold of this size. Liniar classes the following as “severe weather
