Profile 22 vs Rehau – the main differences

Double glazing installers often ask us what the main difference is between two of the best uPVC window profiles in the UK – Profile 22 and REHAU uPVC windows. There are several subtle differences, but the main difference is that Profile 22 windows feature the official police security accreditation (Secured by Design) as standard. Further notable differences include:

REHAU windows

Both brands offer outstanding thermal insulation, acoustic performance, enhanced security, weather performance, and sustainability, so let’s look at each one in greater detail.

Are Profile 22 windows any good?

With a history dating back over 40 years, Optima windows from Profile 22 provide one of the UK’s leading uPVC window and door systems.

Profile 22 windows strike the perfect balance between secure peace of mind and enhanced kerb appeal, meeting the high standards of security required by the Association of Chief Police Officers’ Secure by Design scheme.

Boasting a 6-chambered outer frame with a 5-chambered sash, Profile 22 windows can be enhanced further with 6 or 8 chambered sections complete with recycled composite inserts to boost thermal efficiency even further – enabling them to achieve the highest energy ratings possible (A++).

Why REHAU trade window frames?

Extruding the first PVC window profile in 1958, REHAU was one of the first companies in the UK to produce and sell uPVC window systems – and is now one of the world’s leading uPVC window manufacturers.

Tested to the highest quality, performance, and security standards, slimline REHAU 60 mm casement windows can be strengthened with optional steel sections for extra durability and rigidity where needed. Furthermore, available with all REHAU window systems and opening types, the optional Smart Guard system provides preventative security measures using intelligent smart sensors that can spot intruders and automatically activate defences to keep them out.

Able to achieve the highest standards of energy efficiency, reaching WER A ratings with their 3-chamber design, REHAU windows also contain a unique compound that guarantees a smooth, high gloss finish, meaning that your customer’s new windows remain in pristine condition for longer.

Here’s what some people have said about REHAU windows in the past:

‘The new REHAU window systems has enabled us to market a luxury standard of apartment comfort for potential purchasers, and that resonates perfectly with our ethos of providing high-quality redevelopments.”

“The installation of REHAU windows at this project has not only allowed us to increase the quality of life for occupants, but hopefully help them achieve some significant energy savings through reduced heat wastage.”
