Leitz Tooling UK launches ThermoTech Window System
LEITZ Tooling UK has launched
Leitz ThermoTech Window System,
which enables any size
joinery company to manufacture
A rated thermal stormproof,
flush casement and
traditional wood windows.
Created in response to proposed
Part L Building Regulations
in the energy and carbon reduction
improvement targets of October
2010, which could require
further carbon improvement targets
of a 44% reduction by 2013
and 100% reduction by 2016, Leitz
Tooling has developed a complete,
compliant and scalable system
for the manufacture of high
quality A rated thermal windows
by not only large companies, but
for small to medium sized joinery
companies, opening up new markets
and business opportunities
and reducing waste and sanding,
while increasing efficiency, performance
and finish.
Brian Maddox, sales manager
for Leitz Tooling UK, believed to be
the UK’s largest supplier of tooling
to British industry, said: “We have
removed the burden of design,
tooling, set up and window simulation
thermal testing for the energy
performance rating; the only
things we don’t do is actually performance
test the window or
make it.
“Leitz is committed to high
quality product, innovation and
providing valuable services to our
customers and our ThermoTech
Window System was developed in
response to the proposed changing
Part L building regulations.
“It gives the opportunity for
much wider high quality manufacture
of A rated thermal performance
wood windows, and

there is demand, both from manufacturers
as well as architects and
contractors.”
Leitz’s ThermoTech Window
System provides an all-in-one
package solution which is scalable
for the specific and changing
needs of individual businesses.
British Fenestration Rating Council
(BFRC) registered simulator
with Leitz, Richard Jacob, said:
“The system supports every type
of variation, to suit every type of
manufacturer, with any type of
specification, with flexibility. As a
low cost, dedicated modular system,
it is not only as accessible and
future-proof as we can make it,
but includes all the support customers
might need, including custom
window design and the cost
of simulation to BFRC regulations
to get the approved A rating.”
Brian Maddox said: “If you want
to make A rated wood windows,
call us.”
Leitz is holding one-day seminars
on the ThermoTech Window
System in February 2013 at the
Building Crafts College in Stratford,
East London, and at Leeds
College of Building. Contact
