Noise reduction
The double-glazed sealed units considerably reduce outdoor noise levels, allowing you to relax in the peace and quiet of your home.
Energy efficiency
The REHAU Heritage system can achieve an A rating, the highest possible Window Energy Rating (WER), therefore reducing heat loss and keeping out draughts.
REHAU windows and doors will comply with Part L Building Regulations providing the correct glazing unit is used. For windows this requirement is an overall U-Value of 1.6 W/m²K and for doors 1.8 W/m²K.
Safety and security
The superb period look is backed up by a very modern approach to security. Our three-chamber sash profiles allow for even stronger reinforcements.

Fabricators and installers consistently recommend REHAU window and door systems to customers. They know they are delivering a quality product that will give full satisfaction. Our systems are specifically designed to help the installation process run as smoothly as possible.
The simple construction and fitting specifications behind the REHAU Heritage Vertical Sliding Window system are described below. The system has two sashes built into the frame which slide in opposing directions and will remain in any position.
A sub-frame, which makes up three sides of the window, is the most popular configuration and is welded at the top two corners whilst mechanically joined at the bottom with a sill and screws. The sill is sealed off at each end with an end cap to prevent water ingress into the walls of the property.
The sub-frame can also be an all-welded construction with a clip-in sill. This detail is used in installations where stone sills are present.
The three-chambered sash profiles are designed with two front chambers to achieve good heat insulation and allow isolated drainage. The third chamber allows the fitting of specifically designed reinforcement sections.
Steel-reinforced sliding latches allow the sashes to be tilted inwards to enable the window to be cleaned from the inside of the property, yet the facility is concealed for aesthetic and safety reasons.
The latches can be locked off to prevent unauthorised tilting of the sash.
Standard balances of 14mm or 19mm diameter may be used, and it is also possible to fix all hardware into a specially designed steel or aluminium section for increased security performance.
