Anton pioneers greener UPVC profiles for windows

Anton has pioneered the manufacturing of eco-friendly UPVC profiles for a range of applications, the first of which is for windows.

Windows are an indispensable part of any commercial structure, house, apartment or multiplex and hence, should receive special attention in every construction project. St. Anthony’s, Sri Lanka’s leading player in the business of construction solutions, recently launched the country’s first UPVC window frame, an eco-friendly alternative to aluminum.

Aluminum is known to consume huge amounts of energy during the production process making it less environmental friendly than Anton UPVC windows. What’s more, Anton has fused core values of innovation, affordability and quality with eco friendliness to provide a window frame ahead of its time. Its thermal conduciveness or R values are much lower than aluminum and hence provide relaxing air insulation that result in lower electricity bills as it blocks out the most unforgiving heat. The Anton UPVC window provides a solution for just about any structure be it a home, apartment, hotel, office complex or hospital and according to the manufacturer, these windows are made by keeping nature and outdoor beauty in mind, as well as being environmentally conscious.

Its non-corrosive feature allows it to remain resistant to all weather elements and stands the test of time, up to 20 years unlike its wood or aluminum counterparts, while not compromising on aesthetic values. This green promise is backed with the proficient support of a dedicated engineering and after sales service staff and certification by a warranty of up to 20 years provided by Anton.

Anton UPVC offers a large selection of windows in both standard and custom made sizes. There are these single hung and double hung windows, slider windows, casement windows, bay windows, awning windows, bow windows, garden windows and many more. This company is growing popular for it’s motto of eco friendly construction materials and on the new product. Payback on projects that use UPVC windows as commented by its customer’s on the Anton UPVC, for both residential and business constructions have been positive as the product range also features a relatively affordable price.

That, coupled with its easy window cleaning maintenance, special designs and finishes have gained the product commercial recognition. Other features include excellent weather resistance as the UPVC layer protects windows from UV Rays as well as extreme weather conditions. Stronger reinforcement and multi-point locking system improves the wind load resistance while TPE gaskets improve tightness for low infiltration thermal transition which saves up to 30% of AC energy. Chambers, weld corners, double glazing and better sealing by TPE gaskets improve sound proof not commonly found in market equivalents, especially aluminum windows and the product also safeguards itself from termite, corrosion and is fire rated. Anton UPVC is attractive in appearance but also strong and secure with profiles that are finished to the highest degree and are available in various colors from green, blue, red, etc. and also wood finishes. Reinforced with steel and a multi point locking system the windows should provide a high level of security.

Anton has been providing solutions for water transport, construction and other related industries for the last 50 years. The first to manufacture UPVC windows, herald another first in a long line of its pioneering efforts. Anton UPVC windows is the first in a long range of new products it intends to introduce that adhere to strict environmental policies of manufacturing and energy efficiency, that will help enhance its clients environmentally friendly sustainability goals.
