Advanced System

The Advanced System was designed to accept a deeper double glazed unit over the Heritage System. A decorative bronze beading secures the glass in place, resulting in a particularly attractive profile when viewed from the outside.

The Advanced System can be fitted with either a traditional or contemporary shaped bead. This choice allows greater compatibility to the architectural design of your project.
