WINDOW & DOOR PROFILE SYSTEMS

The ADVANCE 70 Window and Door System was designed specifically for thermal efficiency, strength and aesthetics.

The innovatively designed sculptured or chamfered window and door profile system is a fully integrated suite, whilst being fabricator and fitter friendly.

The Secured by Design, PAS 24 and Document Q compliant ADVANCE 70 Window and Door System provides fabricators, installers, specifiers and homeowner with total ‘peace of mind’ when it comes to security.

With excellent thermal properties the ADVANCE 70 Window and Door System keeps the cold out and warmth in with the aesthetically pleasing product adding kerb appeal to any home, whatever the style, period or location.

Whilst the bright appearance of white framed windows and doors remain a favourite, you cannot deny the impact coloured profiles has had on the end consumers demands.

Whether it’s the modern Ulti-Matt Black, Anthracite or Hazy Grey shades or the traditional Chartwell Green or Cream, adding a bit of colour can really change or compliment the appearance of the home.

The natural and authentic appearance of Irish Oak or Mountain Oak can add that something special to a property and provide that heritage and traditional look to the windows and doors.

The ADVANCE 70 Window and Door System is available in 17 colour options, giving you 34 colour-ways and a comprehensive range of colourfoil to make any home beautiful.

COLOURFOIL COLLECTION

THERMALLY EFFICIENT & SECURE

                  

The five chambered ADVANCE 70 Window and Door Profile System achieves A+ energy ratings without adding unwanted expense.

Reducing energy bills and making the home more ‘thermally efficient’ is high on the agenda of most homeowners. Understanding that fitting the right combination of profile and glass unit is important and an area where Selecta supports its customer base.

The ADVANCE 70 Window and Door System was designed with security in mind. Rigorous testing to PAS 24: 2016 has been carried out to ensure that our windows and doors meet and exceed Document Q of building regulations.

ADVANCE 70 Windows and Doors are also covered by Secured by Design, the Official Police Security Initiative.

Selecta Systems were one of the first UK system houses to extrude all of our profile with 100% lead free PVCu.

Producing 100% lead free profile makes it easier to recycle at its life end, therefore safer for the environment.

Sustainability
PVCu windows and doors have a long and low maintenance lifespan, which can see them last up to 30-40 years.

What is more impressive is the high quality reuse of PVCu, where it can be recycled up to 10 times - meaning a single window or door has a life expectancy of 350 years!

100% LEAD FREE

     

INNOVATIVE DESIGN

     

Selecta Systems are committed to an ongoing Research and Development Programme and
continually strive to improve their products and services.

To ensure new products achieve optimum performance, continuous analysis is an ongoing main priority.

Products are selected for their durability and longevity and are subject to rigorous internal and external tests to satisfy both customer and climatic demands.

Being aware of architects and specifiers requirements, planning is a vital component to ensuring that the most suitable products are provided for individual projects, whilst remaining fabricator and installer friendly.

Selecta have designed their profiles so that it makes fabricating and fitting easier.

The ADVANCE 70 contour lines make it easy to clean and with its integration with other profiles means low stock holdings are required.

The RTR Bar reinforcement requires no pre-drilling and so again improves fabrication times.

A single leg bead improves glazing times whilst a dedicated profile related bridge packer assists when ‘toe and healing’, approves sight lines and speeds up the glazing process. They can also be fitted in prior to transport thus making glazing on site easier and faster.

The MASTERslide Patio Door System has been upgraded to a two-part security interlock to improve fabrication and fitting times.

Our Vantage 70 System was designed with a quick-fit compression trim to make fitting faster and provide a clean finish.

FABRICATOR & FITTER FRIENDLY

     

LARGE STOCK HOLDING

     

All of our window and door profile systems are extruded, laminated and stocked at our
Birmingham headquarters.

Every length / stillage of profile is extruded to stock and not to order. On average, we hold a minimum of 2 - 3 months stock at all times, therefore protecting our customers from any unforeseen circumstances.

This contingency planning and stock holding boades well for all and ensures that we can provide an ‘on time and in full’ rate of approximately 99.8%.

With increased storage capacity within the lamination department this has allowed ourselves to extend our coloured profile offering.

Selecta Systems remain owned by the same family whom started the business over 40 years ago!

In an age within the industry where large investors and investment groups have taken control of system houses, Selecta are the only UK based PVCu window and door system supplier that are still operating today under the management of the same family - third generation of the Weihe family.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

SMOOTH & EASY CHANGEOVER OR SET-UP

Every fabricator has some kind of fear of changing profile system supplier, but here at Selecta we make the process as smooth and non-disruptive as possible.

In fact here’s what Paul French from P & P Trade Windows had to say, after 16 years with their previous profile system, they chose to fabricate the ADVANCE 70 System.

Read more about P & P Trade Windows changeover to Selecta by clicking on the Technical Support link button!

“There seems to be a common theme amongst fabricators concerns and reasons for moving window and door system suppliers. Service and support, or the lack of, gets spouted out time and time again.

“From not being informed of shortages on deliveries to attempting to speak to someone who can deal with the issue, only to be passed from pillar to post with no one understanding or resolving the issue or being given a ticket number like a customer at a meat counter and told to wait!”

“The personal touch seems to have disappeared and replaced by faceless, robotic systems or customer services departments with no idea of your business with requests or issues then batted around two, three or four different people and/or departments, with even the simplest of requests or requirements ignored
or forgotten.”

“As a team at Selecta, we work closely together and from that initial meeting with a fabricator, we look at
developing a partnership. People buy off people and knowing that business relationships are a key aspect for many companies, we as a team have a firm set of traditional ‘family values’.”

“It’s not just about supplying a quality window and door system, but also about providing a service and support package that works for those customers. This is an area where we as a business pride ourselves, where
customers can talk to the ‘doers’ within Selecta, not just a random customer service person or an automated ticket vending machine awaiting a call back when it’s
convenient to them to reply!”

REAL TRADITIONAL VALUES

“At Selecta we have a strong ethos and sense of purpose. Service, Support and Satisfaction are at the heart of our business and these traditional values have been
instrumental in crafting our identity and our sense of purpose. These values are reflected in everything we do and with which we have been long associated, with which we’ve been synonymous.”

“We as a team, or family as we like to be referred to, work very hard to maintain these values and it’s something we are very proud of.”

“Combined with our excellent and versatile ADVANCE 70 System, the industry is readily embracing a Selecta renaissance as more fabricators choose the ADVANCE 70 System as their preferred window and door profile system and become ‘part of the family’.”

THE SELECTA FAMILY

At the heart of our business are the people - the Selecta family!

We believe that the two biggest assets in any company are its staff and customers. Without either there is no company. Selecta have a number of very loyal, experienced and knowledgeable staff, which demonstrates the overall strength and stability of the business.

Our aim is to continue to provide a quality product, complimented by a flexible and personal service, whilst operating a business with transparency, trust and honesty. By doing this, we believe that not only will it breed loyalty from customers, but also from our employees.
