Summary for decision-makers

AMCC's F78 Élégance and F78 Excellence aluminum windows and patio doors offer high thermal (Uw 1,6 to 1,3 W/m².K) and acoustic (Rw 28 to 41 dB) performance. They benefit from a thermal break, a triple seal, and a reinforced assembly to guarantee durability, air/water tightness (AEV A*4 - E*7A - V*A2) and long-term reliability.

The range offers numerous configurations (1 or 2 leaves, multiple opening types), advanced security (mushroom rollers, metal strikes, anti-unhooking function), as well as a wide choice of resistant colors and finishes. Ideal for renovation, F78 meets the comfort needs of individuals in urban and residential environments, without compromising on security and aesthetics.

According to the latest TBC Innovations study, aluminum windows will retain a prominent position on the market in 2024, just behind PVC. Another strong trend: the rise of color. In response to these expectations, AMCC is expanding its offering with the new F78 Élégance and F78 Excellence aluminum window range, which combines refined design with excellent thermal performance.

F78 Elegance and Excellence: aluminum joinery combining performance, safety and design

With thermal break, the two lines of aluminum windows, F78 Élégance and F78 Excellence, display excellent performance, allowing them to achieve a Uw of 1,6 to 1,4 W/m2.K for the version with semi-visible opening and 1,5 to 1,3 W/m2.K for the version with hidden opening, as well as an acoustic attenuation Rw of 28 to 41 dB thanks to:

a 70 mm thermal break frame equipped with an additional thermal shield for the F78 Excellence,
three types of opening to choose from (hidden, semi-visible or wide with a thickness of 78 mm) including 28 mm glazing with warm edge spacer as standard up to double or triple glazing, respectively 36 and 48 mm, as an option, for the model with semi-visible opening only,
a triple seal with two on the opening and one on the frame for optimized air and water tightness over time.

All these elements allow the range to successfully pass the infiltration tests with an AEV classification of A*4 - E*7A - V*A2.

For unmatched reliability and longevity, the sash and frame of AMCC's F78 windows and patio doors are joined using a crimped bracket. Combined with a TPE glazing bead, this ensures the product's durability.

As joinery is an essential element in the security of a home, the new F78 range from AMCC is equipped with self-rotating mushroom rollers, metal security strikes and a full-height rebate lever. They therefore have an anti-detachment function in the closed position, guaranteeing security in the event of an attempted break-in.

To meet all configurations, the F78 Élégance and F78 Excellence windows and French windows are available with 1 or 2 leaves, in fixed frames or with different types of openings (French, reverse tilt-and-turn or not, hopper, with lock).

In addition, there is a wide choice of colours benefiting from a class 2 lacquering, in a smooth or matt granite finish as well as in two-tone, for a longevity of shine and hold three times greater than a class 1 lacquering. Insensitive to the tests of time, they will retain their elegant design for a long time.

And for a perfect finish down to the smallest details, AMCC has chosen to equip them with standard angle fittings, hinges (with hidden screws for the F78 Elegance, symmetrical for the F78 Excellence) and handles, white for the joinery of the same color and in titanium or black finish for the colored ones.

Available in a hidden or semi-visible opening version, the F78 range of aluminum casement joinery meets all comfort needs for the renovation of private homes:

either the search for maximum brightness by opening hidden,
or more technical joinery, particularly for enhanced sound insulation in urban environments by opening semi-visible.

All this without compromising on safety or aesthetics!

The elegance and finesse of the aluminium profiles, high thermal insulation, optimal security and unlimited customisation make the new F78 windows and French windows from AMCC a range of reliable and durable joinery.
