The Fascina Difference with PVC-U
Our Products
PVC-U Window Styles
Top Hung Windows
PVC-U Window
Hinged at the top, swings outwards from the bottom
Allows for moderate ventilation (typically up to 50% opening for a two-panel window)
Best suited for bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, or spaces requiring consistent, draft-free ventilation
Offers weather protection while open due to the top hinge design
Casement Windows
PVC-U Window
Hinged at the side, swings outwards like a door (left or right opening)
Offers maximum ventilation potential when fully open, allowing for excellent air exchange
Best suited for living rooms, bedrooms, anywhere maximum airflow and an unobstructed view (when open) are desired
Provides a very tight seal when closed due to compression, enhancing thermal and acoustic performance
Sliding Windows
PVC-U Window
One or more panels slide horizontally along a track
Allows for moderate ventilation (typically up to 50% opening for a two-panel window)
Best suited for areas with limited outward space, walkways, patios, contemporary designs requiring large glass areas
Space-saving design that doesn't protrude outwards and offers large, unobstructed views
PVC-U Door
French Doors
PVC-U Door
Two doors hinged on opposite sides, swinging inwards or outwards from the center
Creates a wide, unobstructed opening when both doors are open, offering a classic and inviting feel
Best suited for patios, balconies, garden entrances, connecting internal rooms where a wide opening is desired
Timeless, elegant appearance that adds character to a property
Sliding Doors
PVC-U Door
One or more panels slide horizontally along a track, typically past a fixed panel
Provides large glass areas for maximum light and views without requiring swing space
Best suited for balconies, patios, rooms with limited space, modern architectural designs
Space-saving design and smooth, easy operation
Lift & Slide Doors
PVC-U Door
Panel lifts slightly off the seals before sliding effortlessly along the track
Enables extra-large glass panels and very wide openings with minimal framing for stunning panoramic views
Best suited for premium applications requiring large openings, connection to terraces or gardens, maximizing views
Offers superior weather sealing and security when closed, combined with effortless operation for heavy panels
Slide & Fold Doors (Bi-Fold Doors)
PVC-U Door
Multiple hinged panels fold concertina-style and slide along a track to stack neatly to one or both sides
Allows you to open up almost an entire wall, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor spaces
Best suited for patios, entertainment areas, pool areas, creating large flexible openings
Provides ultimate flexibility in opening size and creates a dramatic connection between spaces
Glazing Options
Clear Float Glass
Glazing Options
Standard transparent glass (Clear) or glass tinted (e.g., Grey, Bronze, Green, Blue) to reduce glare (Tinted)
Provides shade from direct sunlight, enhances privacy, and can help reduce cooling costs
Forms the foundation for other glass types like laminated or double-glazed units
Suitable for general-purpose use where specialized performance isn't the primary requirement
Double Glazed Glass
Glazing Options
Two panes of glass separated by a sealed air or gas-filled cavity
Creates a highly effective thermal barrier, significantly reducing heat transfer (keeping heat out in summer, in during cooler periods)
Provides excellent sound insulation, reducing noise from outside
Ideal for improving energy efficiency and acoustic comfort, especially in noisy areas or climates with significant temperature variations
Laminated Glass
Glazing Options
A vinyl interlayer (PVB) sandwiched between two or more sheets of glass
Holds glass fragments together if broken, reducing the risk of injury
Significantly more difficult to penetrate than standard glass, enhancing resistance against break-ins
Blocks up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays, protecting interiors from fading. Also improves sound insulation
Tempered Glass
Glazing Options
Heat-treated glass that is up to four times stronger than standard float glass, resisting impacts better
If broken, shatters into small, relatively harmless pebble-like fragments instead of sharp shards
Often required by building codes for critical locations or advised by professionals
Used where increased strength is paramount
Low-Emissivity (Low-E) Glass
Glazing Options
Features a virtually invisible metallic coating that reflects heat radiation (infrared rays)
Dramatically improves thermal performance by reflecting heat back to its source (reflects summer heat out, reflects winter heat in)
Enhances energy efficiency, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems. Often combined with double glazing for maximum effect
