VEKA for the WIN

12/17/2019

In a move to expand its product portfolio with digital, forward-thinking products, Veka formed stand-alone company Digital Product Solutions Corp.

DPS Corp. will work closely with Veka’s customer base to bring digital solutions to the window and door industry, with potential for entry into the outdoor living market space.
Currently in testing, WIN™, short for window intelligence, introduces near field communications to window and door products. This patent-pending system creates a digital double of the product through cloud computing and hand-held mobile devices. A web-based program called a web cockpit, interacts with the fabricator’s software to build a complete copy of a window or door and tracks it throughout its life cycle. The product information is then accessed through mobile applications designed for home owners, facility managers and contractors.

This technology will allow customers to easily report issues, allow to schedule service calls, offer options for testing data and much more.

Why Tilt & Turn Windows are the most secure windows on the market

Your home is a place of safety and security at any time of the day. This is something that homeowners should consider when shopping for new windows. A window can be broken into within seconds, giving thieves easy access to your home. A break in happens every 15 seconds in North America and seldom is the glass broken.
Research shows that burglars will give up on a break-in if they can’t enter the home within five minutes. Windows and doors from HELT are especially secure, attempts to pry our windows or doors open will be futile.

Security Fittings

Our modern fittings and mushroom locking mechanism together with steel reinforcement inside the frame make it impossible to open a window from the outside or even drill into the steel. HELT Tilt & Turn windows also lock in eight ( 8 ) different spots throughout the frame compared to standard windows that typically have no more than two ( 2 ) locking points.

Security first !

Vacation season is also one of the busiest time for burglaries. Houses are empty, the residents are on vacation and mailboxes are overflowing. Add a poorly lit property or keys under the doormat and breaking in becomes child’s play. Secure windows and doors can make a big difference. To ensure you can go worry free into your next vacation we have put together a few ways to keep your home safe:

Make sure your home looks occupied while you’re gone
Shaded windows that are closed all day suggest that no one is home. Consider installing automated Shades that you can set on a timer. Ask your neighbour to empty out your mail box every couple of days.
Light scares off ! Invest into lights for both the front and back of your home and set them on a timer. A motion detector for your light at the entrance will make it difficult for burglars to hide in the dark.
Stow away all tools to ensure there is nothing around that will make it easier to break in
Check to make sure every window and door is properly locked - including the basement windows which are often neglected. Beef up your window and door secured.

Over 40 % of burglaries fail due to added security measures. If a thief is unable to enter your home within the first 3- 5 minutes they will give up and move on.

Aluminium Garage Doors

3/5/2019

0 Comments

Aluminium is gaining popularity across all areas in residential home construction in part to new innovations. One of these areas is garage doors and the reasons for it are obvious :

Aluminium is a durable material and much more weatherproof in the long term
It requires almost no maintenance
Although a strong material it is also light
With new and advanced innovations aluminium can also be very energy efficient

Colour Selection

Aluminium Garage Doors are now available in virtually any colour imaginable. Paint is applied through powder-coating technology onto every slab, which makes them look good for a long time. In comparison to other materials, aluminium is durable and won’t rust. Even if you get a scratch into your garage door you can get it covered up again with proper paint markers.

Roller Door

The most popular version at HELT are aluminium garage doors as roller doors. This technology is similar to roll-up shutters and a popular style from Europe. The benefit of a roller door is that it takes up a lot less ceiling space in your garage. The entire door rolls into a box that is mounted right above the opening on either the outside or inside of your garage, which gives it a clean and elegant look. This technology also reduces the noise significantly as the door rolls up into the box.

Keep it warm and bright

Although most homeowners prefer roller doors with solid slabs, as they add more security and keep their possessions safe from preying eyes; there are options of adding glass openings to the door to bring in light. Since the slats are smaller compared to other garage doors, it might make sense to add several rows of small windows to the door.
Aluminium roller garage doors from HELT are also very energy efficient as each slat is foam insulated. Guide tracks along the side press the door close to the opening keeping your garage sealed off and safe from the natural elements.

Size does matter

Thanks to their strength aluminium windows and doors are perfect for oversized openings. If you can dream it, it can be build. With their strength they don’t need reinforcement thus their frames are typically thinner, giving it a cleaner more modern look.

Keeping it warm

Modern aluminium frames are thermally broken with vinyl, making them energy efficient. Some companies, including HELT, offer aluminium frames that also have a foam insulation injected into the thermal break. This drastically reduces heat-loss creating an energy efficient window that can even be used in a net-zero or ICF home.
