VELFAC Direct
Exclusively designed windows and doors
for contemporary homes
Windows for life
VELFAC Direct understands the importance of supplying high-quality windows that are stylish, competitively priced and, above
all, superbly engineered and constructed to be energy efficient whilst maximising natural light into your living space.
VELFAC Direct is an established brand leader with over 50 years’ experience of perfecting unique composite windows that
are crafted using tough, powder-coated aluminium for the exterior sashes, and natural lacquered wood for the inside frames,
providing a warm, natural feel to your home.
Attention to detail. But what makes our products unique and individual is the fact that they can be tailor-made to meet your
exact requirements. From size and colour, down to style and finish of handles, whatever combination you choose, VELFAC
windows meet the highest specifications and are designed to last for life.

Tough on the outside, warm on the inside
The comfort zone. The clean, crisp sightlines of
VELFAC windows are aesthetic and efficient
because the slimline frames are designed to enable
significantly more natural daylight than other brands of
double-glazed windows, giving your home a feeling of
space and serenity. This feel-good factor is enhanced
through the clever use of high-performance glazing
contained in a frame of warm wood on the inside
and tough, powder-coated aluminium on the outside,
providing a secure environment for you to enjoy.
VELFAC 200
Standing the test of time. The first VELFAC window
was manufactured in 1952. Since then, VELFAC has
pioneered and delivered a continuous programme of
development and improvement resulting in glazing
systems designed to last a minimum of 40 years.
All windows are comprehensively guaranteed for
12 years.
Low maintenance. All VELFAC windows are virtually
maintenance-free, only requiring regular cleaning and
oiling of the hinges and handles once a year. And the
beauty is, once your windows are installed, you will
not have to paint them during their long lifetime.
Personal protection. We understand that security is
one of the main criteria when choosing windows, so
VELFAC windows are internally glazed, which means
the glass cannot be removed from the outside, whilst
the aluminium sash is designed to withstand even the
most determined criminal. A choice of handles and
locks can further reinforce security.
Sustainable windows designed for life. VELFAC
has long recognized the need to care for and protect
the environment, and this philosophy lies at the heart
of all that the company does. Further information on
VELFAC sustainability: www.VELFAC.ie.

Making the right
choice
Windows are singularly one of the most important features of
your home both in terms of design and function. At VELFAC,
we emphasise the importance of fitting windows that
complement the form and style of the building and, in order to
make this possible, we provide you with a range of choices so
you can cherry-pick exactly what you want.
In essence, we can tailor the windows to suit the architecture
of your house - whether they are with or without glazing
bars, large or small, sidehung or tophung, and in the size and
configuration you require - whatever you choose, your living
space will be well ventilated and filled with optimum natural
light.

open differently, we guarantee that, whatever combination of
openings you choose, the windows will all match perfectly.

Room with a view
To complement our windows, VELFAC make patio

Finishing touches
The VELFAC philosophy has always been to provide our customers with maximum freedom of choice - right down to the finest
detail - and we make no exception to this rule when it comes to choosing colours. We offer an extensive range of colours, both
for the interior and exterior window frames, so you can select whatever combination you want.
On the outside. We use a hard-wearing, polyester-powder coat that comes in the full range of RAL colours in a standard
gloss level of 77%. What makes this paint so outstanding is that its durability makes it virtually maintenance-free, which means
you will not need to paint your windows during their working lifetime.
Metallic finishes. If you want to create a truly stylish finish to your exterior window sashes, you may want to consider having
them anodised in one of the silver or bronze colours from the VELFAC metallic range.
On the inside. Complement your interior colour scheme by choosing the appropriate shade from our extensive RAL colour
range. Or if you prefer the look of natural wood, we can coat the inside frames with a clear lacquer to protect and highlight the
grain, creating a warm, elegant feel to your home.

Optimum glazing
efficiency
In order to make your home more energy efficient, VELFAC windows come
fitted with low-energy glazing as standard. But you may want to consider our
range of additional options to maximise your windows’ performance.
Solar protection. VELFAC SUN is glass designed to reduce solar gain and
glare in your home and is particularly effective if used in south- or westfacing windows. Two VELFAC SUN options are available in different tints
and levels of solar and heat protection.
Noise reduction. Effective glazing is a necessity if you want to reduce
invasive noise levels from the outside world. For instance, if you live near a
busy road, railway line or airport, or if you just want to cut out noise filtering
in from a bustling street, VELFAC can offer a number of different solutions.
VELFAC 200 SOUND achieves an Rw41 noise-reduction rating, compared
to the Rw32 rating of a standard VELFAC 200 double-glazed unit.
VELFAC 400 SOUND achieves an Rw37 noise-reduction rating, compared
to the Rw31 rating of a standard VELFAC 400 double-glazed unit. And for
those who live in an extreme environment we recommend our VELFAC 200
2+1 window, which offers a huge Rw48 rating.
Personal safety. VELFAC SAFETY glass can be supplied as laminated or
toughened, both types offering significant safety benefits. We recommend
VELFAC SAFETY glass be used in areas at risk from human collision
because the glass is designed to break safely on impact.
Privacy and security. VELFAC DÉCOR is our range of opaque glass,
ideal for areas where privacy or security is desired. It comprises five
different designs: Satin, Pacific, Cotswold, Carré, and Matt Laminated.
Matt Laminated glass is laminated with a matt interlayer to give a milky
appearance and it also has safety benefits should the glass break.
