Sustainable Strength from Recycled Materials
Our RTR bars are manufactured using recycled uPVC waste that would otherwise end up in landfill, representing a significant advancement in sustainable window manufacturing. Through our advanced recycling process at our Durham facility, we transform uPVC window frames and manufacturing waste into a much stronger product than conventional reinforcements. The manufacturing process begins with careful sorting of collected materials, followed by precision grinding into uniform granules before extrusion. This meticulous process ensures the final product maintains perfect structural integrity while being significantly more environmentally friendly than steel alternatives.
Our investment in state-of-the-art extrusion machinery guarantees consistent quality and optimal material properties. The result is a product that not only diverts waste from landfills but also creates a new lifecycle for uPVC materials, contributing to a more sustainable fenestration industry. Each RTR bar represents our commitment to reducing the sector's environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance.

Superior Thermal Performance and Durability
RTR bars offer exceptional insulating properties, providing significantly better thermal performance than traditional steel reinforcements. These lightweight yet durable components are designed for a minimum lifespan of 35 years, making them a reliable, low maintenance solution for window fabricators. The unique composition of our recycled material ensures consistent quality while delivering substantial reduction in thermal bridging compared to steel alternatives.
Our rigorous quality control process ensures each bar meets or exceeds industry standards for structural integrity and thermal efficiency. The innovative design incorporates advanced thermal break technology, helping to improve overall window U-values and energy efficiency ratings. This superior thermal performance not only benefits the end user through reduced energy costs but also helps window manufacturers meet increasingly stringent building regulations. The durability of our RTR bars is backed by extensive testing, proving their resistance to weathering, temperature fluctuations, and structural stress over extended periods.

Quick Installation and Cost Benefits
Designed with installers in mind, our RTR bars are quick and easy to install, reducing labour time and costs while maintaining superior performance. The lightweight nature of recycled uPVC makes handling and installation more efficient compared to steel reinforcements, while still maintaining necessary structural requirements. By choosing our RTR bars, UK window fabricators can benefit from both environmental sustainability and improved installation efficiency, contributing to a significant reduction in overall project costs.
The bars are precision-engineered to fit standard profile systems, eliminating the need for special tools or additional training. This compatibility, combined with their lighter weight, significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional steel reinforcements. The cost benefits extend beyond just installation savings – our in-house manufacturing process and use of recycled materials allows us to offer competitive pricing without compromising on quality. Additionally, the superior thermal performance of RTR bars can help reduce ongoing energy costs, providing long-term value for both installers and end users.
