FSC®

VELFAC 200 is a timber-and-aluminium window and door system characterised by narrow frames, slim sightlines, and a consistent external appearance across fixed and opening elements. The range includes windows, patio doors, and sliding doors in multiple opening configurations, allowing different functions to be combined within a uniform facade. The system features durable aluminium externally, FSC-certified pine internally, and triple glazing.

The triple-glazed units are rated as A-class low-energy windows and use argon-filled cavities to improve insulation and reduce heat loss. This can help lower heating demand, limit draughts and cold downdraughts, and reduce the risk of summer overheating. Slim frames increase the amount of natural light entering the building, while the aluminium exterior provides long-term weather resistance with minimal maintenance and no requirement for regular repainting. The use of FSC-certified timber supports responsible forest management and associated social and environmental standards.
