Designated the Royal S 75.HI+, the window delivers a Uf value of 1.14 W/m2K and a UW value as low as 1.43 W/m2K. It has an exceptional level of performance because of the thermally broken profile, which is divided into multiple chambers and has added insulation components in its cavity spaces. The aluminium window delivers overall insulation values surpassing those of timber.
