Windows, doors and other dimensionally stable components

Coatings for windows, doors and other dimensionally stable components

Doors and windows are the showpiece of any property. In recent years, wood has enjoyed something of a revival in this area. Not only is wood beautiful to look at, it is also environmentally friendly and boasts good physical properties. Dimensionally stable timber components such as windows and doors need to have an elegant, long-lasting appearance along with good durability. This is why, when developing its window and door coatings, Remmers focuses on maximum durability and absolute safety. Decades of market experience in the field of application technology, research and development as well as the latest findings from the raw materials markets enable us to guarantee this safety. In order to guarantee the long-term performance of Remmers coating systems, they are regularly put through their paces by renowned institutions. In thorough procedures, the effectiveness, durability and ecological safety are scrutinised under strict regulations.

Wood is a versatile substrate with a wide range of properties that play a role in the coating.

Hardwood

Hardwoods such as oak, meranti, mahogany or teak are particularly durable – but they can be a pricy option. In terms of stability and moisture absorption, hardwoods often have better properties than softwoods. Due to their natural resistance, impregnation with biocidal wood preservatives is often not necessary. Nevertheless, design-based wood protection and care are important for longevity. This is the only way to ensure that hardwood floors retain their aesthetic appeal in the long term.
The interplay between the porous surface structure and the cleverly coordinated coating systems from Remmers emphasises the elegance of the wood.
Softwood

Native softwoods such as spruce, pine or larch have a special beauty all of their own. Many people make a conscious decision to use wood from local plantations. Visually, windows and doors made of softwood can be easily matched to neighbouring timber components, such as façades, carports and roof soffits. When it comes to thermal insulation, the lighter softwoods inherently have slightly better properties than hardwoods and are also usually the cheaper option. Remmers translucent coating systems can be used to create a brilliant coloured finish on softwoods in particular. Dimensionally stable timber components made of softwood, protected with Remmers coating systems, can give a property a touch of character with real staying power.

Long-term protection for a wide variety of components

In addition to the different types of wood and various coating requirements, building elements such as conservatories also have a wide range of requirements. This means that timber combinations, e.g. timber-aluminium windows, may also be used. This highly durable composite, coated with Remmers coating systems, guarantees long-lasting results.

Wood-aluminium windows

The combination of wood and aluminium makes every window a highlight. When used in interiors, wood creates a sense of wellbeing in the living environment. As for wood-aluminium windows, they are optimally protected against the weather from the outside and are practically maintenance-free. Without the direct influence of the weather, surfaces with a highly transparent appearance and the tactile feel of fine home furniture can be achieved. Wood types conventionally used for windows, such as spruce, larch and oak, can be showcased in a modern and timeless way. The result is a natural look and feel – for a wood finish that really lasts.

Front doors

When it comes to a house façade, a wooden front door is the centrepiece. However, the surface is exposed to everyday mechanical stresses. The high-quality 1K intermediate and top coats from Remmers set completely new standards here and surpass both the resistance of conventional window coating systems – which have also been used in the past on front doors – and in some cases that of specialised 2K paint and varnish systems.

Remmers International Guarantee (RIG)

With the coating of elementary components comes great responsibility. The logical consequence of the superior properties of Induline premium coatings is the Remmers International Guarantee for timber windows and doors.
The all-round security that Induline premium coatings provide for wooden windows and the high quality standards of the certified window manufacturers – which are based on key industry standards – form the basis for the promise: “No renovation coatings for 10 years”. But even independently of its use as a valuable marketing tool, the RIG offers decisive advantages as a quality assurance concept for the component manufacturer: a central component of the RIG is the free-of-charge commissioning and logging of the production processes by the Remmers application technician.
