In today’s fast-paced world, creating a serene and peaceful home environment is more important than ever. External noise pollution from traffic, railways, and flight paths can significantly disrupt the tranquility of your living space. To address this concern, we are proud to introduce our Ambient Collection—a premium range of acoustic timber windows and doors meticulously designed to reduce noise infiltration while enhancing the aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency of your home.
The Importance of Acoustic Performance in Modern Homes
Noise pollution is not merely a nuisance; it has been linked to various health issues, including stress, sleep disturbances, and even cardiovascular problems. According to recent studies, prolonged exposure to elevated noise levels can adversely affect overall well-being. Therefore, integrating soundproofing solutions into residential spaces is essential for promoting a healthy and comfortable lifestyle.
Unparalleled Sound Reduction Capabilities
Our Ambient Collection offers exceptional sound reduction ratings, achieving reductions of up to 42 decibels (dB). This substantial decrease in noise levels transforms bustling urban residences into peaceful retreats. The effectiveness of our acoustic solutions is validated by the prestigious Bluesky Certification, ensuring that our products meet rigorous industry standards for noise reduction.
Comprehensive Acoustic Testing and Certification
Unlike many products on the market that may only test individual components, our windows and doors are certified as complete units. This holistic approach guarantees that the sound reduction ratings accurately reflect the performance you can expect in your home. Our commitment to quality and transparency provides you with confidence in the effectiveness of our acoustic solutions.
Energy Efficiency: Enhancing Comfort and Sustainability
Beyond noise reduction, the Ambient Collection is engineered for superior thermal performance. Our windows and doors boast whole-unit U-values as low as 1.2 W/m²K, surpassing current building regulation requirements by 40%. This exceptional energy efficiency not only contributes to a comfortable indoor climate but also reduces energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills and a smaller environmental footprint.
Precision Engineering for Optimal Weatherproofing
Weatherproofing is a critical aspect of window and door performance, directly influencing both durability and energy efficiency. Our products undergo stringent testing to withstand diverse weather conditions. Notably, our sliding sash windows are tested to perform against winds up to 136 mph, ensuring resilience and longevity even in the most challenging environments.
Aesthetic Versatility: Customization to Complement Your Home
We understand that every home is unique, and aesthetics play a vital role in selecting windows and doors. The Ambient Collection offers a wide array of customization options to seamlessly integrate with your home’s design:
- Colour Choices: Select from an extensive palette, including classic shades and the full RAL, NCS, or BS colour charts. We also offer colour matching to renowned collections such as Farrow & Ball, Earthborn, and Fired Earth. Dual-colour options allow for different hues on the interior and exterior surfaces, providing design flexibility.
- Glazing Options: Tailor the glazing to meet your specific needs with choices ranging from single glazing for heritage properties to advanced triple glazing for enhanced thermal performance. Decorative glazing bars are available in various profiles to replicate traditional styles or create contemporary looks.
- Ironmongery Selections: Choose from a curated selection of high-quality handles, locks, and hinges in finishes that complement your interior decor, ensuring that every detail aligns with your design vision.
Sustainable Craftsmanship: Environmentally Responsible Choices
Our commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of the Ambient Collection. We exclusively use timber sourced from certified sustainable forests, ensuring responsible forest management and conservation. Timber windows and doors not only offer longevity—with a life expectancy of up to 60 years—but also serve as a carbon sink, storing more carbon than is emitted during their production. This makes timber a superior choice over materials like uPVC and aluminum in terms of environmental impact.
Security Features: Protecting What Matters Most
Safety is paramount in home design. The Ambient Collection incorporates robust security features to safeguard your residence:
- Multi-Point Espagnolette Locking Systems: These advanced locking mechanisms provide enhanced protection against unauthorized entry.
- Secured by Design Accreditation: Our products meet the stringent standards of this official police security initiative, offering you peace of mind.
- Child Safety Restrictors and Secure Night Vents: These features allow for safe ventilation and prevent accidental openings, ensuring the well-being of all household members See.
