The first thing to understand about The Tricept Collection is that its products are unlike any other windows, doors, porches and conservatories in terms of their basic construction technology.

Before The Tricept Collection, if you happened to live in a beautifully renovated country cottage, you’d probably have to accept the same window and door frame style as someone who lived in a stylish ultra-modern town house.

That’s because most ordinary frames are manufactured with square, straight edged profiles. They all tend to look very similar. So, too many homes have had to settle for ‘me too’ double glazed windows and doors that lack any real personality.

The Tricept collection from South Lakes Windows Ltd is UPVC (PVC-u) that is crafted to give all the warmth, character and flexibility of a natural wood frame.

But what is even more vital than the ways in which our UPVC doors are similar to wood, are the ways in which it can actually perform better than wood.

Wood rots and decays. It also splinters. It gets damp. It needs painting. It needs year-after-year care and maintenance. Gaps appear. Wooden door frames need replacing or repairing.

The Tricept Collection u-PVC won’t rot. Or fade or ever need painting. Or ever need care apart from a wipe with a damp cloth.

It will stay looking as good as the day it was installed.

On top of this there’s the actual glazing technology…

Tricept is engineered from 70mm profile (the industry maximum). The profile is chambered to maximise thermal performance and reduce heat loss through the frame.

Being the same depth as conventional timber frames, the 70mm profile is more likely to butt against existing plaster lines and result in a neater finish.

Hollow metal reinforcing is included as and when specified, to add rigidity and strength.

This new windows and doors frame technology results in far greater heat retention and continues to meet all the requirements achieved by conventional hollow metal frame reinforcing.

European standards state that Grade A UPVC must have an outside wall thickness of at least 2.8mm.

Tricept wall thickness is 3mm which offers superb UPVC door strength and rigidity that will last for years!

You should expect your new upvc doors to be completely draught proof and water tight.

New Tricept is produced with all weather compression gaskets, fused to both the inner and outer frame sections. The gaskets include a 9mm “flipper seal and backing cushion” to ensure ultimate weather resistance and sealed unit stability. The flipper seal remains inline with the profile for a neater appearance and because they are fused to the profile they can never shrink back thus avoiding any door leaks or irritating draughts in your home.

Integral Drainage

To enhance weather resistance further Tricept has a sophisticated “built in” sloping drainage system that directs any water penetration away and towards the external drainage route.

In order to avoid the breakdown of double glazed units it is essential that your double glazing unit remains in dry conditions at all times.

Tricept have designed a unique glazing packer (1) that is sprung in place for the glazed unit (2) to sit on and therefore create a bridge between the sealed unit and any water or dampness thus preventing steamy condensation forming inside your doors glazing.

Whilst all the profiles remain technically the same, Tricept offer you a choice of either a fully bevelled system or fully Ovolo depending on your preference.

Unique in design, the Ovolo “Royale” system features a sculptured style of frame offering you softer curved lines that complement every type of home be it terraced, semi-detached, detached, modern or period property.

The bevelled design is a fully chamfered style of frame designed to recreate the traditional putty lines of timber profiles. The sleek modern lines will suit any home particularly contemporary designs.

Clean Lines

Both glazing systems have been designed to be symmetrically correct in that all flat surfaces are similar in width which in essence offers a far slimmer and more aesthetically pleasing appearance to your new door.
