6 Star Windows/Balcony Doors - Westeck Windows and Doors

The 6 Star aluminum windows and balcony doors are remarkable for their outstanding thermal and structural performance. They have a 12.5% deeper frame than the 5 Stars series. The deeper frame significantly improves thermal performance and maximizes temperature stability and comfort in your home. It allows you to minimize boundaries and embrace the integration between indoors and outdoors.

This Star series is recommended for projects requiring the highest in energy efficiency and is available in Passive House for PhC.

Glass

6 Star Aluminum – Glass

The 5 Star Windows/Balcony Doors can be equipped with different types of glass, providing multiple benefits in terms of better heat and noise insulation, significant energy saving and increased overall comfort.

LowE Clear glass

LowE Clear glass gives a new definition to daylight illumination, through a maximum contribution of natural light. It has a neutral appearance which improves the light transmission, and the reflection is much higher.

It is ideal for all types of windows which require total transparency, neutral appearance and a high energetic efficiency.

SuperLowE Glass

SuperLowE glass is characterised by super-low emissivity, which helps to reduce heat loss through the windows during the cold season.

Thus, this type of glass improves the heat-insulation capability of the heat-insulation window, and consequently the overall comfort of the residence.

Planistar Sun Glass

Planistar Sun is a deposited glass that has two main features: low emissivity, having the capacity to reflect high-wavelength infrared radiation; and solar control, reflecting much of the solar energy.

In warm climates or for south- and west-facing windows, Planistar Sun is the optimal solution to achieve high energy efficiency by reducing overheating during summer while providing increased heat insulation during winter and allowing a generous natural light input in any season.

Solar Control Glass

Solar Control glass combines the advantages of SuperLowE glass with those of reflective glass: during summer it provides strong solar protection by reducing the greenhouse effect inside the residence, while during the cold season it retains its heat-insulation properties.

Rolled glass (duplex)

Rolled (duplex) safety glass is comprised of two panes of glass glued to each other with at least one transparent resin layer.

The main advantage of this type of glass is the increased security derived by reducing the risk of accidents (it does not allow fragments to break off in case of breakage).

In addition, the duplex glass provides better noise insulation compared to other types of glass.

Ornamental glass

The main role of ornamental glass is to maintain your privacy.

It has a good light transmittance factor and allows more light to pass into the room than reflective glass.

Screens

6 Star Aluminum – Screens

Insect screens are essential for maintaining a high degree of home comfort by providing an optimal level of protection against mosquitoes and other insects, especially during the warm season.

The insect screens are available in several variants, as appropriate, such as: roll-out, pleated, roller or fixed.

Roller Insect Screens

Excellent durability over time and easy handling

Pleated Insect Screens

Modern, minimalist design and high flexibility

Roll-Out Insect Screens

Weather resistant and easy to handle

Fixed Insect Screens

Quick to install and easy to clean

Our insect protection screens are characterized by a special resistance over time, made possible by the technical and functional elements as a whole, as well as by the materials used.

The mesh used in manufacture of the screens allows prolonged exposure to sun, wind and rain without any risk of damage.

Hardware

6 Star Aluminum – Hardware

The aluminium profiles included are characterized by a higher resistance in time and a minimalistic design, which is easy to blend into any architectural style.

In order to meet the most demanding needs, you have the possibility to choose aluminium profiles 70 mm or 80 mm thick, depending on the selected product. These allow the use of glazing between 24 mm and 60 mm thickness, providing both thermal protection and a high level of sound insulation.

Moreover, the aluminium profiles of the Star series are very easy to maintain and are environmentally friendly, because the aluminium is a recyclable material.

Heat Barrier

The aluminium systems used in the manufacture of the thermal insulating joinery come with a heat barrier of polyamide (technical plastic with high rigidity and resistance) and additional insulation of polyurethane foam (one of the most versatile insulating materials).

These particulars are rendering a superior heat insulation.

Gaskets

For optimum sealing against wind, dust and bad weather, the Aluminium Stars Series are provided with 3 black silicone rubber sealing gaskets.

Handles

The aluminium windows are provided with strong aluminium high quality handles, with the main role of increasing the security of the users.

The handles are available in matt titanium in standard or on white, black or anthracite grey upon request.

Lifting Mishandling Device

The lifting mishandling device is a very important part of the aluminium windows hardware, the role of this device being to take over the weight with which the handle is pressed vertically when closing the window. Due to the mishandling device, incorrect window handling is excluded.

Therefore the windows do not lose calibration over time and have an optimal and constant operation.

Hinges

The hinges are elements that ensure the door and window tightness, thus providing extra protection to residence and window protection. The aluminium windows are provided in standard with strong hinges, in silver color or, optionally, white or black.

For a plus of elegance, you can choose the version with hidden hinges allowing the opening at 180 degrees.
