Altus Window Systems Tasman35™ System

Product Description

Ideal for larger, high quality, architecturally designed family homes in challenging locations. the Pacific Thermal Suite improves thermal insulation and virtually eliminates condensation.

The Pacific Thermal Suite can add an additional 25% of heat retention to what double glazing alone can provide. This is achieved through a thermally broken frame. Unlike standard aluminium joinery which is highly conductive the frame has a thermal barrier (polyamide strip system) which prevents heat or cold transfer, considerably reducing the chance of condensation, thus keeping the inside of your home warmer, drier and more comfortable.

Application:

• Residential
• Low rise
• Schools
• Apartments
• Low rise commercial / industrial

Maintenance requirements

Instructions on how to use, install and maintain Altus Window Systems joinery are available from Altus or any of its distributors. These instructions must be followed if aluminium joinery is to meet any quality or performance assurance. Regular cleaning is essential if the finish of anodised aluminium is to be preserved over a long period. Cleaning the anodised aluminium should be washed down with warm water and a suitable wetting agent or mild soap solution, in a similar manner to washing a car. View Care and Maintenance Instructions
