It was quickly established that the company should not concentrate purely on supply only of the products to clients, but should take on projects on a complete, design, manufacture and installation basis and have successfully completed many large projects throughout the UK.

Having built on these earlier experiences, the company is now well placed to offer prospective clients a full design, installation and management service utilising the wealth of knowledge of its staff.

Swedish H-Windows Limited and H-Fönstret AB operate a continuing research, development and refining programme on their many and varied products, and have successfully developed the first composite timber / aluminium curtain walling system specifically for the UK market place.

With its composite timber / aluminium systems, Swedish H-Windows Limited offer a revolutionary alternative to PVCu and aluminium windows, doors, screens and curtain walling, with true composite timber and aluminium systems.

The principle of the true composite system is to combine the use of timber for internal components with external aluminium for weather resistance. True composite windows consist of separate aluminium and timber frame components, which are bonded together both mechanically and chemically. All weather protection including drainage channels is provided by the aluminium section.

Swedish H-Windows Limited believe that it's alternative composite systems offer exciting opportunities and benefits for designers and specifiers to incorporate features that were not possible until now, one of these benefits being the ratio between aesthetics and performance. This allows the building occupier to enjoy the warmth and beauty of timber internally, yet receive thermal and acoustic insulation properties that exceed those of the more traditional systems.

Dependant on glass unit types, it is possible to achieve a 42db sound reduction and a U-value as little as 1.55W/m²K using Swedish H-Windows Limited various products. It is also possible for certain products to be fire rated and these can therefore be used throughout a project without the need to change design or section details.

The company's full range of products are manufactured at H-Fönstret's Lysekil production plant on Sweden's West coast under the Swedish P-Mark licence and have been independently tested to conform to British Standards.

It can be seen that the true composite window system provides a cost-effective answer to the demands of designers and specifiers who require the many benefits, with long-term durability in a single product.
