Premium US-sourced Low-E glass with warm-edge spacer minimises condensation.
The Elika 70 is a step above standard vinyl and above our own 60mm system. More chambers, tighter gaskets, stronger compression, and better acoustic and thermal performance.
The best U-Factor in our entire lineup — three glass panes with two independent Argon-filled cavities create an exceptional thermal barrier, delivering dramatically lower heating and cooling bills year-round.
Air Tightness
EN 12207 — Class 4 0.255 cfm/ft² @ 75 Pa
Triple-gasket compression creates the tightest air seal in our range — virtually zero drafts, minimal dust infiltration, and consistent indoor comfort regardless of outdoor conditions.
Water Resistance
EN 12208 — Class 9A ≈ 600–700 Pa expected
Highest EN water classification — triple-pane mass and enhanced perimeter sealing ensure complete water exclusion even in the most severe storm conditions.
Wind Load
EN 12210 — C5 ≈ 2300 Pa (≈ 48 psf)
The additional glass mass and 70mm steel-reinforced frame deliver maximum structural rigidity — the sash and frame hold firm and resist deformation even under sustained high winds.
Heavier triple-pane sash increases locking compression force across all points — perimeter multi-point locking distributes resistance across the full frame perimeter for superior break-in protection.
Sound Insulation
Rw 43–45 dB STC ~43 · OITC ~36
The best acoustic performance in our range — three glass layers with two air cavities act as independent sound barriers, reducing traffic, aircraft, and urban noise to a whisper inside.
Full steel inserts in both frame and sash are essential to carry the added weight of the triple-pane unit — guaranteeing perfect alignment and smooth operation for decades without sagging.
Ventilation & Operation
Tilt & Turn — Full Opening 5–6 in tilt gap · Max sash 130 kg
Tilt for controlled fresh-air ventilation without compromising security; turn fully inward for effortless safe cleaning and unobstructed egress.
Two Low-E coatings and two Argon-filled cavities deliver the ultimate in solar control and condensation resistance — keeping interiors comfortable in any climate.
The Elika 70 Triple is our most advanced window system. Three glass panes, five uPVC chambers, and dual Argon cavities combine to deliver unmatched thermal, acoustic, and structural performance for any climate.
4-chamber profile with Low-E Argon glass dramatically reduces heat transfer compared to standard single or basic double-pane windows — noticeably cooler rooms in summer and lower energy bills.
Air Tightness
EN 12207 — Class 4 0.3 cfm/ft² @ 75 Pa
European Class 4 air tightness — the triple EPDM gasket system seals out drafts and dust far beyond what standard American vinyl windows offer.
Water Resistance
EN 12208 — Class 9A ≈ 500–600 Pa expected
Highest EN water resistance classification — perimeter gaskets and precision-fitted sash keep rain and moisture completely out, even in heavy Texas storms.
Wind Load
EN 12210 — C5 ≈ 2000 Pa (≈ 42 psf)
Steel-reinforced 60mm frame resists wind deformation — the sash stays firmly sealed under wind loads that would cause cheaper windows to rattle, leak, or warp.
RC2-rated multi-point locking engages at 4 to 6 points simultaneously — far superior to standard single-point latches, making forced entry significantly harder.
Sound Insulation
Rw 38–40 dB STC 37 · OITC ~31
The sealed 4-chamber profile and triple gasket system cut outside noise by 38–40 dB — enough to reduce heavy traffic to a quiet murmur.
Full galvanized steel inserts keep the window perfectly square and smooth-operating for decades — no warping, no sticking, no sagging even in Texas heat.
American-made Low-E glass with Argon gas fill blocks solar heat gain (SHGC 0.25) while retaining winter warmth — warm-edge spacer minimizes condensation.
The Elika 60 is the smart entry point into European window quality. A 4-chamber uPVC profile with RC2 security, triple EPDM gaskets, and Low-E Argon glass — dramatically outperforming standard American vinyl at a more accessible price.
