Say hello to summer with a Velfac composite patio door
Slim frames, excellent insulation and large openings — bring the outside in with a VELFAC patio door
With a frame which combines wood on the inside and aluminium on the outside, a VELFAC patio door provides contemporary style and excellent insulation, helping to keep rooms cool in summer and warm in winter. Choose between a sliding or hinged design, both available as single or double doors, and manufactured to your exact specifications.
“I KNEW IT WAS A GREAT PRODUCT”
Construction company boss Jeremy Westcott was certain VELFAC would be the perfect choice for Fair Rising, his stunning new-build family home designed by architect Carl Leroy Smith: ‘A significant part of my business is the approved installation of VELFAC windows and doors, so I knew it was a great product,” he says. “I really like the slim frame as it delivers a larger area of glass and is ideally suited to contemporary architecture. It’s also a very solid product which functions extremely well.”
“OUR HEATING BILLS ARE LOW”
Given the generous use of glass at Fair Rising, different strategies are used to mitigate solar gain, including setting glazing back 1200mm into the façade to gain extra shade from the roof, walls and first-floor balconies. Jeremy also met thermal targets and Building Regulations with a combination of triple and double glazed units: “We installed triple glazing at ground level and double glazing above, both of which are Secured by Design approved and offer excellent U values. As a result, our heating bills are low, despite vaulted ceilings, and acoustic insulation is very impressive.”
