Wipe-clean uPVC
A self-finished surface with no painting required.
Profile formats
Two- and three-sided configurations.
Standard families
AE, SE, ACH and CH profiles plus bespoke.

AE, SE, ACH and CH cover common conditions. Dimensions, returns, joints, ventilation and fixings are then confirmed against the actual route.
Angle-edge profile
A two-sided route for services at an internal edge.
Square-edge profile
A two-sided route for straightforward wall and floor conditions.
Angle three-sided profile
