The new standard in architecture: elegant plastic range from Deceuninck

Architects today face the challenge of combining sustainability and beauty without sacrificing performance and aesthetics. Choosing the right materials for windows and doors is crucial in this respect. Deceuninck's Elegant plastic range provides an answer to these requirements and is the future of window design thanks to its innovative look and superior insulation values.  

Ultimate window concept with excellent energy performance 

Thanks to their strong properties, Deceuninck plastic window profiles are the ideal choice for any construction project. For example, the Elegant range has been developed around the revolutionary modular iCOR building block. To ensure maximum results in terms of acoustics, water tightness and thermal insulation, the Elegant is also equipped with a middle seal, which acts as an extra barrier between hot and cold. 

Moreover, the Elegant range is not complete without the integration of ThermoFibra glass fiber technology. The window sash is then reinforced not with steel but with structural glass fibers inserted during the extrusion process. In the frame profile, a Forthex thermal reinforcement based on recycled PVC rigid foam is chosen. Cold bridges are avoided and excellent insulation values are achieved (Uf value from 0.88 W/m²K). 

Four designs, something for every style 

With Elegant, Deceuninck demonstrates that plastic profiles fit perfectly with contemporary architecture. They have an angular look, instead of the typical rounded design. The Elegant Infinity and ThermoFibra Infinity are characterized by the subtle transition from profile frame to sash. Their clean lines and timeless design make them multi-purpose. The Elegant Abstract with flush profile creates an extremely minimalist look and fits perfectly into modern buildings. The Elegant Origin bevelled design, on the other hand, exudes a more classic look and fits in perfectly with more traditional architectural styles. The front-facing glass line also enhances the modern and minimalist design. 

Elegant is available in an extensive range of 57 foil colors divided into four categories: natural wood textures, colored wood textures, solids and metallics. The range can be perfectly combined with Deceuninck's Decalu aluminum range without any visible difference. Indeed, they have the same minimalist design and, thanks to Deceuninck's Smart Colours, exactly the same color. 

"Our plastic and aluminum window and door ranges are coordinated in such a way that they can be applied within the same building project. Architects, building promoters and installers can thus optimize their specific project in terms of budget and energy performance," emphasizes Koen Van Hoyweghen, Senior Promoter at Deceuninck. 

In possession of quality certifications  

The quality of Elegant products is proven thanks to several factors. On the one hand, strict internal controls guarantee the quality of the profiles. All properties are tested from the raw materials, over the extruded profiles to the finished window systems, and this in accordance with the strictest European standards. Moreover, Elegant possesses the necessary technical approvals including the ATG certificates and the KIWA SSK quality labels which guarantee that both the manufacture and installation of the window system are professionally done. 

Durable & recyclable  

The sustainability factor is receiving increasing attention in construction. Thanks to the efficient recycling line in Deceuninck's own recycling plant, the Elegant plastic window profile can be recycled up to eight times again without losing its mechanical properties or performance. With a lifespan of at least 35 years, this brings the total life cycle to at least 300 years and puts Deceuninck at the forefront of circular economy within the sector. 

"At Deceuninck, we have a solution for every project and every budget. We deliver the most sustainable solutions thanks to our innovative designs and production processes. This is how we help build a green future," concludes Koen Van Hoyweghen.
