Technical Data

Rehau Window Profiles in RAU-PVC 1476

Material: RAU-PVC 1476, rigid PVC of high impact strength

The profiles are uniformly and integrally coloured. If profiles with two limit values are combined, the tolerances determined by measurement in the colorimeter ensure faultless processing free from disturbing colour deviations.

Designed for Superb Performance

Rehau profiles are produced to exacting German engineering guidelines. Quality control is paramount with all factories operating to ISO 9001 quality standards. Rehau window profiles are specially formulated to withstand heavy weathering conditions, especially in Asia and Australia where global radiation is relatively high. In addition to in-house tests, Rehau systems are tested by independent institutions to meet the stringent requirements demanded in the market. Our window systems have been tested and certified for following satisfactory performance.
