Tricept...The Intelligent Window & Door System
Thermal Enhancement
To maximise thermal performance new Tricept is engineered from 70mm wide profile (the industry maximum) and includes 5 internal vertical chambers that help resist outside temperatures through the frame thus keeping your home warmer inside.
Top Grade PVC-u
European Committee standards state that Grade A PVC-u must have an outside wall thickness of 2.8mm. New Tricept is 3mm and together with the 5 chambers offers superb frame strength and rigidity that will last for years.
Weather Resistance
You should expect your new windows and doors to be completely draught proof and water tight. Tricept profile is produced with all weather bubble gaskets (seals), fused to both the inner and outer frame sections. The bubble gaskets are hollow and therefore offer far greater compression and remain inline with the profile for a far neater appearance. As they are fused to the profile they can never shrink back thus avoiding any leaks or irritating draughts in your home.
Integral Drainage
To enhance the weather resistance further Tricept has a sophisticated 'built in' sloping drainage system that directs any water penetration away and towards the external drainage route. Neat Installations
To ensure your windows are fitted neat and square, and to prevent 'bowing' upon installation, two centralised 5mm legs have been formed to the brick facing edge of the profile to provide a solid fixing.

Correct Glazing
In order to avoid the breakdown of glazed units it is essential that your unit remains in dry conditions at all times.
Tricept have designed a unique glazing packer that is sprung in place for the glazed unit to sit on and therefore create a bridge between the sealed unit and any water or dampness. This prevents condensation forming inside your units.
Versatility
Whilst all the profiles remain technically the same, Tricept offer you a choice of either a fully bevelled system or fully ovolo depending on your preference.
Clean Lines
Both Systems have been designed to be symmetrically correct in that all flat surfaces are similar in width which in essence offers a far slimmer and more aesthetically pleasing appearance to your window.
Smart Safety Solutions
For your safety, easy clean / Fire Escape hinges are fitted as standard to all side-opening windows. These can be pushed to a full 90 degree opening and give you an alternative means of escape in the unfortunate event of fire.
Multi-Lock
Tricept windows are secured on all 4 sides by 9 locking points. Every Tricept window and door is fitted with a unique Multipoint Locking System that has been designed exclusively to fit the Tricept range. The result being that all windows are supplied with a nine-point lock system that secures all four sides of the opening window. Similarly, every Tricept door is secured with a Yale Multi-Lock, three high security hinges and two dog-bolts that together offer 11 security points around the door.

Engineering Excellence
In keeping with appearances, Tricept designers have created superb IXEF keeps to accommodate all window locks.IXEF is the hardened material used in 'crash helmet' technology. It is stronger than brass, colour-coded to match each window and will not show scratches or similar.
FENSA Approved
As of 1st April 2002 it became a legal requirement for all replacement and new build PVCu windows and doors to achieve a U value of 2.0 or lower, in order to meet FENSA's thermal performance targets. FENSA is the organisation responsible for ensuring that industry standards are met. Tricept products comfortably pass at 1.9*.
