Can a Rehau window be fire retardant?

It’s no secret that homeowners are becoming more and more interested in products that introduce practical, as well as aesthetic benefits to their property. Whether it’s in the high levels of security, efficiency, or warmth modern window and door systems can provide, now’s the time for installers to capitalise on meeting these expectations to better set themselves apart from local competition.

Enter RAUFERNO, the new uPVC system from Rehau which keeps residents safe against the ultimate home hazard: fire.

Intuitive Rehau window uPVC system: RAUFERNO

An evolution of Rehau’s popular Total 70 window system, RAUFERNO fire resistant frames from Astraseal integrate an intumescent strip that lets the uPVC expand as it gets hot, providing up to 30 minutes of protection against fire. This feat is made possible in tandem with all the typical benefits expected by modern homeowners such as sound-proofing, clean sight lines, and multi-point locking.

Due to their highly fire retardant nature, RAUFERNO uPVC windows are a common choice for high-rise homes and apartments – places where the routes for escape in the event of a fire are drastically more limited. Other areas where the system is deemed by Rehau to be of use include: entrance halls, deck access flats, and windows/doors that sit between a house and garage.

Offer your customers safety in the unlikely event of fire spread

The good news about RAUFERNO is that much like the other uPVC systems we at Astraseal fabricate and supply, it can be formed to almost any conceivable size, shape, and style. This means that the impressive fire barriers the system offers never need come at the compromise of an established or new aesthetic customers have their heart set on.

In addition to a maintained aesthetic flexibility and high fire resistance, when choosing to install RAUFERNO you’ll be able to offer improved thermal insulation thanks to a multi-chamber internal frame, excellent security features with various locking options, and of course the low maintenance sensibilities uPVC is known for.
