Signature Windows & Doors recognises the need to limit our impact on the environment - respect for the environment is important to us. Sustainability is about responsible material sourcing, energy effi ciency, recycling, carbon emissions and life expectancy of products.
Responsible material sourcing. It is essential to consider how your windows are made and what they are made from Signature Windows & Doors is committed to the use of raw materials from sustainable sources, maximising the use of recycled materials and minimising the use of energy from non-renewable sources. Our timber comes from sustainable forests, from FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) accredited suppliers. All our fi nishes are water- based and eco friendly.
Energy effi ciency. Products used in the building construction can signifi cantly improve energy effi ciency and reduce running costs. Windows with low U-values are very important and Signature Windows & Doors can reach U-values as low as 0.78W/m2K.
Carbon emissions. Argon fi lled energy effi cient glass units maximise thermal gain, reduce thermal loss and refl ect heat back into the room in the winter time in order to drastically reduce the need for heating and therefore the release of CO2.
In the summer Signature Windows & Doors can be designed to reduce solar gain and increase natural ventilation, thus reducing the need for air conditioning.
Life expectancy of products. As our motto is ‘Windows for a lifetime’ we do everything to deliver this to our customers. Signature Windows & Doors and our manufacturing companies offer a comprehensive warranty of 10 years on all windows and doors.

Signature Windows and Doors sourced from sustainable forests

As people are becoming more aware of their environment many are looking for natural products when choosing windows and doors for their homes. When choosing wood windows today people do not have to compromise on comfort or durability, choice of style, shape or colour. High quality wood windows and doors now offer style, comfort, warmth and durability to any home and are increasingly the fi rst choice of architects and designers.
Hemlock Oak
Our wood windows and doors are manufactured using only the highest quality knot free timber with a moisture content of 12% ± 2.
The pine wood used to manufacture our products consists of a minimum 60% heart- wood from sustainable forests in North Scandinavia where the trees grow slowly and naturally and no fertilisers are used.
We use only laminated triple-layer wood. Three layers are used because this technology prevents the window frame from warping and increases the lifetime of the windows. The outer layers are radial or half- radial cut and this method protects window surfaces from wood splitting.
Species of wood available:
• Pine (fi nger-joint or solid)• Oak• Meranti• Mahogany• Other species of traditional
(eucalyptus, larch) or exotic (hemlock, oregon, white saraya) timber
All of these timbers have proven to be extremely stable over time and will deliver years of trouble free service.

Why Signature
wood windows?
The old attitude of wooden windows meaning “short life & high maintenance” has been banished as timber proves to be the option that can outlast all others.
The timber used to manufacture our products is carefully selected and treated. With correct installation and proper maintenance, Signature Windows & Doors will last and give satisfaction for several decades.
All Signature Windows & Doors are made-to-measure and can be fi tted with a complete range of opening and closing solutions.
Different units can be combined to create more complex constructions such as curtain walling, screens, bays and bows, all crafted to your exact specifi cations. Signature wood windows and doors will enable you to build your dream home and capture that look you really want.
Our expertly designed and manufactured windows are delivered fully fi nished and glazed prior to careful installation, giving our clients a high quality product which will enhance the value of their homes for years.

Aluminium
cladding
Wood windows with aluminium cladding combine the best properties of different materials:
• Wood as a proven and environmentally friendly building material is not only highly durable and capable of withstanding strain; it also creates a friendly and warm atmosphere in home interiors.
• Aluminium is a modern high-tech product characterised by versatility and indestructibility combined with low weight. Being weatherproof, it provides optimum external protection for the wood.
Frames and sashes of Signature aluminium clad wood windows and doors are externally covered with preassembled aluminium sections that are held clear of the timber surface to allow drainage and ventilation.
Aluminium clad wood products are highly durable and are low maintenance.
Signature Aluminium Clad Wood Windows are ideal for places in harsh environments, high-rise apartments, or where access to the windows is diffi cult.
All Signature aluminium clad wood windows are made-to-measure and can be fi tted with a complete range of opening and closing solutions.
The advantages of aluminium clad wood
products:
• Aluminium clad wood windows and doors last a life time because the cladding aluminium protects the exterior surfaces of the wood giving it long-term protection from the negative environmental infl uences: rain, snow and sunlight.
• Signature Windows & Doors aluminium profi le systems provide optimum ventilation to ensure that no humidity will concentrate between the aluminium profi le and the wood, so preventing mould.
• Aluminium is an easy-to-clean, low-maintenance and colour-stable material.
• You can choose from a nearly unlimited number of possible colours and textures for the exterior design including RAL colours, anodized colours of aluminium and different textures.
• There are wood-aluminium solutions for every type of window, ranging from single Side Hung windows to Tilt & Turn windows and sliding doors.
• Wood-aluminium windows and doors are available in almost every type and shape for customised facade design.

Windows and Doors
The Signature elegant European style inward opening windows are the most popular range in Continental Europe. Our Signature Fixed, Tilt only, Tilt & Turn and Side Hung windows offer easy cleaning & maintenance. If your project requires especially large windows or units with non-standard dimensions we can accommodate these requirements.
The Signature Side Hung and Top Hung window series open outwards allowing you to utilise all internal room space and providing good ventilation. The windows are made of triple - layered glue - laminated timber. Operable sashes can be double or triple glazed.
The Signature door series includes Entrance Doors, French Doors, Tilt and Turn Doors, Sliding Doors and Folding Doors. Lift & Slide Doors can measure up to 3 meters high and 6 meters wide allowing maximum light into the premises.
We have two types of Signature Entrance Doors – Classical and Flush Doors providing clients with virtually unlimited design possibilities
All product ranges are complimentary and can be mulled together.
SECURITY
All products are internally beaded which means added security because the glass cannot be removed from the outside. Enhanced security windows are tested and certifi ed as complying with BS 7950. Window restrictors are available to restrict opening of windows for child safety.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY Signature products are listed as being among the most energy effi cient. When triple glazed with a 42mm glass unit, our window can reach a U value of 1.0 W/m2K. The standard double glazed window reaches a U value of 1.5 W/m2K. This series also has “Passive Windows” with 110 mm wide profi les and U value of 0,78 W/m2K. Vents can be installed in the sash or frame of our Signature windows. All products have two gaskets ensuring an airtight seal.
SOUND INSULATION
Signature products can achieve acoustic values up to 48db.
OPTIONAL ALUMINIUM CLADDING The optional aluminium cladding greatly improves the life span of the product and reduces maintenance costs. Aluminium clad timber products are highly durable yet low maintenance and are ideal for harsh environments, high-rise apartments or where access to the windows is impaired. External aluminium can be powder coated to any RAL colour of your choice.
COLOURS Our fi nishing materials are environmentally friendly water-based surface coatings. The wide choice of lacquers and the RAL palette of paints allow us to obtain the desired colour effect whilst preserving natural beauty and warmth of wood.

Our high performance sash windows are based on original designs, incorporating the latest technology to deliver the highest quality windows. With hermetically sealed double glazed units and a system of draught seals our sash windows are highly energy effi cient. Security of windows is very important as well – the glass unit is beaded internally and sash locks and restrictors are fi tted for night ventilation.
Our innovative and high performance sash windows can be used for conservation, renovations and new buildings. Sash windows can be decorated with glazing bars, which may be applied on the glass unit or fi tted between the glass panes. Bespoke versions of sash windows are available to provide exact replicas for conservation projects.
Opening options:
• Standard sliding sash
Two types are available – with weights or a modern system with spring balance. The modern system uses a spring balance to assist in lifting the sash. This new system benefi ts from a lighter overall window weight thus making it easier to install, maintain and less susceptible to damage.
• Inward tilting sash for cleaning
These windows operate the same way as standard sliding sash but have the added benefi t of allowing both the top and the bottom sash to be tilted inward to enable the cleaning of the window exterior. This removes one of the shortcomings of traditional sash windows.
General characteristics & benefi ts:
• Made of laminated finger-joint or solid pine or timber of your choice.
• Full range of glazing options.• Wide range of lacquer and paint
colours.• Customised sizes and designs.• A wide selection of accessories.

In order to chose the best solution the following criteria should be taken into account:
The following table will help to compare different criteria and to choose the right type of door
When the inside space is limited and there is no possibility to use Tilt & Turn or Bi-Folding Doors we suggest Tilt & Slide or Lift & Slide doors where the sashes slide in front of a fi xed glass panel and stack perfectly within the door frame, providing a seamless transition from outside to inside.
Type of Door Sash Weight Opening (max) Height of Threshold Ease of Operation
Desired opening. What is the function of the door? Is it only entry-exit or is there a need to open your living area completely? Ease of operation. Who will operate the doors? Will children be opening them? Is there a need to lock the doors from the outside?
Threshold height. Will there be a lot of movement? Maybe there is a need for disabled access?
Characteristics required. Are there any special safety or acoustic requirements? Bigger maximum sash weight allows heavier glass units to be installed. This increases the sound insulation and safety of the doors.

How to choose entrance doors?
Signature Entrance Doors allow you to turn your personal vision into reality, opening the world of possibilities, where design options are endless. We offer two types of Entrance Doors - Classic and Fush Doors. All our doors are supplied as complete door sets, with or without ironmongery, and factory fi nished. Our high quality external doors are thermally effi cient, attractively designed and low maintenance. We also supply a wide range of glazed and panelled timber and alu-clad doors.
The Flush Doors have more design possibilities than Classic Doors and the styles vary from modern to traditional. They are especially fi rm, stable and resistant to climate effects. The Flush Doors will not warp or deform because of their special construction.
We recommend Classic Doors in houses where there is no direct contact between the outside and the living area.
Door panels used by Signature Windows & Doors meet the European requirements of the highest tolerance. This is confi rmed by tests carried out by independent laboratories.
Security of the Entrance Door is one of the most important door characteristics. Both types of our doors are very secure – you can choose from the standard multi-point locking mechanism or even more secure other locking mechanisms: electronic locks and fi nger print detectors.

ADVANTAGES OF FLUSH
DOOR CONSTRUCTION
1. The outside of the door panel is covered with fi ve layers of moisture resistant, laminated veneer. Due to different layers these doors are resistant to external environmental effects.
2. Stable inner laminated timber cores prevent door deformation.
3. The polyurethane foam core cons- truction ensures exceptional thermal performance and sound insulation.
4. A steel sash stabilisation system is integrated into the door panel through the whole perimeter of the panel and ensures the reliability and stability of the doors.
5. Four sided hardwood frames surround the door panel making it exceptionallyreliable and durable. The hardwood protects the hinge and lock systems mounted in the door panel, offering a secure fastening location for the hardware.
6. The highest quality 100% silicone gaskets are elastic, resistant to temperature fl uctuations and ensure especially good tightness, heat and noise insulation.
7. The new aluminium threshold has a special plastic insert that insulates against the cold and increases stability. The combination of hard plastic and aluminium ensures the durability of the threshold.

Finishing
Signature Windows & Doors manufacture factory fi nished, fully-functional and high quality timber products that have the convenience and durability provided by modern fi nishing technology with the excellence produced by highly skilled craftsmen.
The quality fi nish of Signature wood windows is obtained using the highest quality ecological, water-based paints and stains. The fi nishing coat is elastic and moves with the wood as well as letting the wood breathe. It is a water-soluble, moisture resistant and fast drying fi nish with a long-term UV protection.
A wide variety of paints and lacquers are available to meet our customers’ requirements. All of our paints and lacquers are environmentally friendly, ecologically clean and harmless to the environment.
These fi nishes were chosen for their ability to show the warmth and beauty of the quality timber used to make our products and to protect the environment for future generations.
Available combinations of window colour:
• Lacquer both sides• Lacquer one side and RAL other side• RAL colour both sides• Different RAL colour on each side

Glazing options
Today’s glazing solutions offer incredible potential to create environments that are comfortable, cost-effective and sustainable.
Signature Windows and Doors offer a range of glass units with performance characteristics that make it possible to specify the amount of sunlight, heat or sound that enters a room and how much heat remains. Energy effi cient glass (LOW E) with metal oxide coating refl ects 40% to 70% more heat into the room than clear glass, while allowing the full amount of light to pass through. Warm edge spacer bars may be added to improve thermal performance.
Glazing options
ENERGY SAVING GLASS UNITS
Low-E glass with non-toxic argon gas added offer a 20% improvement over regular insulated glass in reducing heat transmission. This means extra comfort and energy savings. It is also worth noting that 2/3 of all ultraviolet rays are blocked which protects the furniture and fabrics from fading.
SOLAR CONTROL
Solar control glass is used for reducing heat and/or light gain. There are several types of solar control glass:
• Refl ective• Solar Control• Tinted
U=1,0 W/m2

NOISE REDUCTION
There are two main ways to control the noise coming from the outside.
1. One thicker glass pane (6,8,10,12mm) and a wider space between glass panes.
2. One thicker glass pane (6,8,10,12mm)and another of laminated glass (triplex).

As Signature Windows and Doors are extremely air-tight it is necessary to control the room ventilation. Homes which are poorly ventilated can have high levels of biological contaminants arising from mould growth on damp surfaces. This poor air quality adds to the general discomfort of living in such housing conditions, particularly for those with allergic conditions.
SIGNATURE WINDOWS & DOORS offers
three types of vents for your windows:
• Glazed-in window vent• Trickle vent• Acoustic vent
GLAZED IN WINDOW VENT
The revolving glazed in vent that is thermally broken by polyamide profi les strengt- hened with fi bre glass. It contains a con- tinuous adjustable sealing cylinder and an Airclip that can easily be detached for simple cleaning. The revolving cylinder can easily be removed from the housing without having to remove the vent from the window.
This vent can be any RAL colour.
