At Astraseal, we’re firm believers that a workman is only as good as his tools. That’s why we focus on collating an eclectic range of home improvement products, all of which feature unique benefits and features that makes it easier for reliable tradesmen in the UK to appeal to homeowners. Enter windows and doors fabricated using Rehau Geneo, a first-class uPVC system renowned for its high energy efficiency qualities.

At a time when financial bills are rising and homeowners are looking for more and more ways to reduce their property’s energy consumption, Rehau Geneo products are an asset to every installer’s portfolio.

1. Six chamber uPVC profiles

Allowing each uPVC frame to more effectively trap heat and prevent transfer, Rehau Geneo windows and doors feature six chambers within their profile rather than the traditional five. This allows for higher levels of insulation, saving up to 76% more energy than homes would otherwise waste, with U-values as low as 0.85 W/m²K.

2. Large rebate depth of 66mm

Though only a slight design alteration, increasing a uPVC window’s rebate depth makes a big difference with regards to energy efficiency. Simply put, with a rebate depth of 66mm, Rehau Geneo windows and doors are better able to accept triple glazing. These two additional layers boosts a property’s thermal and acoustic insulation simultaneously.

3. Engineered in recyclable uPVC material

Ideal for those concerned with reducing their carbon footprint, Rehau Geneo makes sense in that the modern uPVC used for the system is easily recycled. Though not directly linked with helping or improving properties energy efficiency levels, in the grand scheme of things this high recyclability means less manpower is needed to engineer more windows and doors.

4. Aluminium-free improved profile stability

Unlike many high-performance uPVC window and door systems, we at Astraseal engineer every Rehau Geneo window and door completely free of aluminium reinforcement. Standing on its own, each unit offers homeowners the very best profile stability, making it easy for installers to cater to even the widest of apertures.

5. Passivhaus certified

Helping to assure residents that their property can provide adequate comfort while minimising the amount of necessary energy, Rehau Geneo passes Passivhaus certification. This has primarily been achieved through meticulous attention to detail on our part in combination with Rehau’s already-innovative design. What’s more, any installer wishing to take energy efficiency seriously should absolutely look for this certificate.

Don’t settle for anything less than the best when prioritising energy efficiency
