House Builders

For more than 25 years, Spectus Window Systems have been specialists in the design of high performance, low maintenance PVC-u profiles to enhance your buildings design.

Spectus understands the need to meet and exceed current legislation in the form of more stringent Building Regulations and the Code for Sustainable Homes and offers cost effective, high performance windows that are designed to enhance your buildings.

Code for Sustainable Homes

Through continuous evaluation and improvement in designs, Spectus have devised a suite of products that maximises the retention of solar heat gain within the property, whilst minimising any thermal and air loss which in turn reduces CO2 emissions and gives the benefit of lower heating bills.

Spectus Window Systems 5 chamber design and 3mm wall thickness means that thermal U-values of 1.2 W/m2K are achievable to meet Code for Sustainable Homes level 3 and when utilising triple glazing Spectus can achieve U-values as low as 0.8 W/m2K producing super insulating high performance windows that meet the requirements of level 6 of the Code for Sustainable Homes in a traditional opening-out casement window.

Spectus is good for the environment

The BRE (British Research Establishment) has given PVC-u an A rating for domestic and an A+ rating for commercial properties, in its Green Guide to Specification. The BRE estimates that PVC-u can be recycled up to seven times and has an expected service life of 35 years, as defined by the BRE life span assessment. It means you can specify PVC-u components for your homes with confidence, secure in the knowledge that they fulfil the requirements of the Code for Sustainable Homes.

Spectus is fully committed to the environmental standard ISO 14001 covering all environmental issues and is confined to the UK market minimising transportation and fuel consumption from wider exportation.

Continuing Spectus' commitment to environmental sustainability the Spectus Former is made from 100% recycled material. With BBA approval and meeting the Accredited Construction Details using the Spectus Former ensures windows are fitted accurately and efficiently with improved air tightness and insulation.
