This system is designed to offer a modern aluminium replacement to steel windows and doors. Alitherm heritage features slim sightlines to give you more glass and is ideal for heritage applications such as listed buildings and large scale replica refurbishments where planning restraints are to be considered.

Alitherm heritage profiles utilise Smart’s innovative polyamide thermal break which creates a barrier between the cold air outside and the warm air inside which reduces thermal transmittance and increases the overall U Value
