Fair Rising - VELFAC V200 - Composite Windows UK

Designed by architect Carl Leroy Smith, Fair Rising – VELFAC V200 makes the most of a beautiful location on the edge of the South Downs National Park.

The front elevation features full height glazed facades which rise into the distinctive double pitched roof. The windows bring maximum light – and beautiful views – into living and dining areas, and into first floor bedrooms which also feature VELFAC glazed sliding doors opening onto balconies. At the rear, an impressive, full-width bi-fold door links the kitchen to a courtyard paved with local stone, with an additional balcony above. Both internal timber and external aluminium frames have been painted black which gives greater emphasis to the internal frame while externally the black frame blends into the glass façade.

Given the generous use of glass the impact of unwanted solar gain has been actively mitigated by the specification of manually opening VELFAC units, motorised VELUX roof windows, and an MHVR system which together maintain good air circulation. The glazing is also set back 1200mm into the façade to gain extra shade from the extended timber-framed eaves and walls, and also from the first floor balconies.

Working with Composite Windows UK experts, thermal targets and building regulations were met with a combination of triple and double glazed units both of which are Secured by Design approved and offer excellent U-values. As a result, heating bills are low, despite the vaulted ceilings, and acoustic insulation is very impressive.

Sue, Winchester

Great communication, kept up to date with with all aspects of our order, which was for a picture window and patio door. We had Rationel triple glazed windows installed and are really pleased with the performance of the windows. The installation team were fabulous, very professional and friendly.

Andrew, Pagham

We were recommended to use Rationel windows and Solarlux bifolds by an architect friend and Composite Windows are the local supplier. Very good service, great windows – well worth the money.

Mr D Sprague

We had some Rationel windows installed as part of a renovation to a listed building. The service we received from both the sales team (James and Kelly) and the installation team (Gavin, Ryan, Steve and Josh) was excellent. The sales team were patient as we went through multiple iterations to get the specification correct and provided all the information we needed for our planning application. Gavin worked closely with our builder to ensure that our builder understood the required preparatory works. The installation team were friendly, polite and efficient. There were some complexities identified during the works which were resolved promptly with a wholly positive attitude. Both the product and installers are great. Id happily recommend them.
