Technical and Material Specifications -
Eclipse and Eclipse Esthetique window and door products
offer true aesthetic appeal with compact profile
designs that mirror the slim sightlines of
traditional wooden windows, with the
addition of 3 or 4 fully enclosed chambers
for product strength and thermal
performance. One of these chambers may
be used to fit metal reinforcement if
required by the installation specification.
All Eclipse profiles are manufactured from
acrylic high impact modified, unplasticised
Polyvinyl Chloride compound (PVCu)
especially formulated to suit the Central
European climate.
Eclipse profiles measure 70mm front to
back*, equivalent to the standard depth of
timber products found in most British
homes.The vast majority of PVCu
installations can therefore be made with a
minimum amount of ‘making good’ after
the removal of old timber frames, or the
replacement of first generation PVCu or
aluminium windows.
*with the exception of In-line Patio Door
and Vertical Sliding Sash profiles.
The Eclipse range includes:
• Conservatories
• Casement Windows
• French Casement Windows
•
Tilt & Turn Windows
• Vertical Sliding Sash Windows
• Residential Doors
• French Doors
•
In-line and Tilt & Slide Patio Doors
Product Performance and
Accreditations - Independent product accreditation
and testing provide a tangible means of
demonstrating product suitability and
reliability in practice. Eclipse products
have been independently assessed and
achieved accreditation from both the
British Standards Institute and the British
Board of Agrément. Products are tested
in terms of Weather Performance and
Security. WHS Halo fully accepts its environmental
responsibilities and takes a lead in
addressing environmental issues within the
PVCu window industry. WHS Halo was
one of the first companies to achieve ISO
14001 Environmental Management System
and has pioneered a unique partnership to
recycle post consumer windows of all
material types.
In line with the requirements of Building
Regulations, all Eclipse products are
designed for energy efficiency and comply
with Part L of the Building Regulations
when installed by FENSA registered
installers or approved by Building Control. Cleaning and Maintenance -
PVCu is not affected by airborne
pollution, salt, ozone or acid rain. In order
to maintain the superior appearance of
Eclipse products, frames should be wiped
down with a mild liquid detergent as
required.
