Tricept Frame Options
An initial choice you will want to make is whether to have bevelled or ovolo shaped profile. Bevelled profile offers contemporary clean lines whilst ovolo profile offers a more detailed, sculptured finish.
This choice can often be influenced simply by your individual preference but may also be influenced by the style of your property.

COLOUR & FINISH Options
Although white is still a very popular choice for those looking to instantly modernise a home, with the rapid advancement in PVC-u technology, options now extend far beyond this.
You would now be hard pressed to tell the difference between PVC-u products and their timber equivalents. The Tricept Window Collection offers you so much choice in terms of style and finish that you should never need to compromise.
You may find for example that choosing a Rosewood or Oak woodgrain finish will help to blend more sympathetically with your home and garden. Colours such as Black, Grey and Cream are also increasingly being used to great effect, and remember, unlike their timber equivalents, they will not need painting, and they will be guaranteed for years to come.
Energy Efficiency
How and why windows are tested
With the ever increasing cost to heat your home, it has never been more important to ensure your windows are thermally efficient.
Computerised simulation tests are carried out on windows to assess:
- Solar Heat Gain.
- Thermal Losses.
- Air Losses.
Based on these results, windows are given a Window Energy Rating (WER).
Tricept thermally-enhanced frames, together with energy-saving sealed units, will provide you with one of the most energy-efficient ‘A’ Rated windows available. This will help to reduce heat loss from your home and save you money on your heating bills.
Window SECURITY
Fitted with a multipoint locking system you can feel safe and secure in your home knowing that every opening window is secured on all 4 sides.

Ali-lock authentic external georgian bar
You may decide to have decorative Georgian Bars applied to your windows for the truly authentic Georgian style.
The unique Ali-lock Georgian Bar is a scribed PVC-u bar, finished and colour matched to the exact same finish of your chosen windows.
The bars are connected to full length aluminium fixing strips that are bonded to the glass unit. This, combined with the spacer bar grid design inside the unit, gives the impression that each pane is a separate unit.
The innovative Ali-lock bar system ensures the Georgian grille does not shrink, warp or detach, regardless of weather conditions.
Internal georgian bar
In contrast to the Ali-lock External Georgian Bar system where the bar is applied onto the outer faces of the insulated glass unit, as the name suggests, Internal Georgian Bars are held within the sealed glass unit.
Internal Georgian Bars still provide an effective feature but with the bars inside the glass, the glass maintains a flat surface with no protrusions and are therefore easier to clean.
