Rehau is highly regarded as one of the top two suppliers of uPVC products worldwide, it was natural for us to partner with a such a reputable brand and ensure our customers were receiving and enjoying the best possible product suited to the New Zealand market. We believe our point of difference is in our products and manufacturing processes, thus delivering a high quality and high performing product.
Complete Fusion Welded System
All Advanced uPVC Windows and Doors are entirely Fusion Welded together, therefore all intersecting Mullion, Transom joints and Mitred Corners are fusion welded, giving superior frame and joint strength as opposed to mechanical fixings and sealants.
A complete Fusion welded manufacturing system means we are watertight throughout and free from leaks, the best bit is the process is Eco Friendly and doesn’t involve the use of chemicals, solvents or sealants in manufacturing, At Advanced uPVC we currently believe that we are the only manufacturer of uPVC windows and doors in New Zealand to manufacture a complete Fusion Welded product.
Secure Internal Glazing Design
All Windows and Doors supplied by Advanced uPVC Windows are manufactured with the internally glazed beading system. Co-Extruded Seal technology is at the backbone of the glazing system, thus means the seal and bead are formed as one complete solution, uPVC and rubber extruded together.
A one piece internally beaded solution means complete watertightness, no external beads or shrinking rubbers like other products and the internal beading provides greater security and ease of handling, this means the glazing beads that hold the glass are located on the inside, therefore the glass cannot be removed from the outside by would be intruders.
Reinforced Profiles Throughout
Every Window and Door manufactured by Advanced uPVC Windows has reinforcing fitted throughout, Galvanised Steel or Aluminium is fitted in the central Reinforcing chamber on all profiles, meaning the perimeters on all Window or Door frames, all internal profiles, including window and door sashes have reinforcing fitted. The reinforcing is fixed in the centre of the chamber for optimum stability then sealed during the Fusion Welding Process.
Reinforcing has many purposes; it forms part of the secure uPVC locking and multi point locking systems where all hardware, locks and keepers are fixed to it for maximum resistance to forced entry.
Another benefit to reinforcing is it also reduces thermal expansion a must for New Zealand conditions where you can experience 4 seasons in one day.
Finally reinforcing gives added strength and structural integrity to all uPVC joinery, all joinery whether it is aluminium, or uPVC needs to comply to wind, deflection and load design requirements, our performance advantage is that the internal transom and mullion profiles are fitted with Galvanised Steel Tube which has a far greater strength than Aluminium, thus giving stability far above what is needed and required.
