The Product
REHAUS’s Aspekt+ 1800 is an outswing casement window solution reported to provide thermal, acoustic and structural performance and designed meet Passive House requirements. Offering a modern design aesthetic in a wide range of colors, Aspekt+ 1800 allows fabricators to build units for up to 30 percent larger openings with long-lasting stability and torsional rigidity.
The REHAU Aspekt+ 1800 features a strength-enhancing sash in the company’s RAU-FIPRO glass-fiber reinforced PVC material. Use of the advanced material along with REHAU co-extruded triple-seal technology limits thermal conduction and ensures a tight frame-to-sash seal with a significantly reduced U-value.
Profiles can also be painted or laminated with solid color or wood-grain foils. Aspekt designs accept a variety of screen solutions. Aspekt+ 1800 allows for customized shapes, including round, half-round, triangular, rake-top and ellipsoidal windows. The company reports more than 1,500 design options.
