The timber sash window system was launched jointly by sash specialist Mighton and architectural hardware company Ferco.
"It's an amazing achievement," says Reg Bishop, of Forest Hall Joinery.
"We can now offer a timber sash that has the same energy efficiency and security standards that the best aluminium or PVC-U casement window".
"Architects, specifiers and homeowners no longer have to compromise on design or material".
"If you want the natural beauty of wood with the traditional charm of a vertical slider that meets the highest energy and security requirements, this is the product for you".
"Ecotilt can help homes achieve a better Energy Efficiency Certificate for HIPs and is ideal for the Government's latest eco-town plans".
Combining a timber exterior with a PVC-U structural hidden Jamb, Ecotilt comes as an easy-to-assemble window system aimed at both joiners and PVC-U installers.
We've engineered it to dramatically reduce fitting times, helping to keep refurbishment projects and new builds on time and on budget.
