Composite rebate To combat the thermal challenges the next step was a composite solutionwith a thermal break of extruded plastic. Pros: • Imperishable material in the wet zone • Reduction of thermal bridging Cons: • Drain holes can be blocked by dust and dirt. • Ironmongery groovesmakes cleaning harder. • Sealant must be applied further back • Risk of standing water in the wet zone Frame rebate in aluminium When we launched the original CombiFrame wood/alu window in 1988 it had a powder coated aluminium rebate similar to the external protective aluminium profile. Pros: • Imperishable material in the wet zone • Low maintenance • No repainting • Long life span • Great total economy Cons: • Thermal bridging from aluminium rebate to the internal timber frame • Risk of internal condensation Rebate in thermal PUR With ideal core™, our research and development team has found the ideal solution. Pros: • Imperishable material in the wet zone • Solid construction • Super insulating • Smooth surface (easy cleaning) • No drainage holes & cavities to be blocked by bugs and dirt • 100% water- & moisture resistant • No maintenance of rebate • Longer lifespan 1 9 8 8 C o m b i F r a m e 2 0 0 6 F r a m e & N a t i o n 2 0 1 5 F r a m e I C & N a t i o n I C THE WINDOW OF THE FUTURE HAS Lasts longer Insulates better 07 / ideal core TM
