Installation

The windows are often the first element of the thermal envelope to condensate. This is because they have the worst insulation value compared to the walls, floor and roof. So what does this have to do with the installation? A lot actually.

The key point is joining the wall insulation with the window insulation in one big connected line.

Cold air in the cavity is bypassing the main thermal portion of the frame - going straight to the inside

recessed install

The frame is recessed so all cold air, including in the cavity, is on the outside of the window

Flashing Kit

The Ambiance system includes a 4-sided flashing kit to cover the cavity and cladding of the build. These are available in 7 different sizes to suit different cladding and cavity make-ups.

Fixing methods

The Ambiance system can be supplied with or without timber reveals.

With factory-fitted reveals:

Timber liners are securely fixed to the frame using steel tabs.
The junction is sealed with an air-tightness layer for superior performance.
Fixing is done through the timber liners.

Without reveals:

Steel fixing tabs and air-tightness tape are provided.
After the unit is fixed into the wall, the tape is applied before internal finishings.
This ensures excellent air-tightness and gives you flexibility for internal finishes, as you’re not restricted to timber reveals.
