Rise Of High End Windows In Nigeria

Rotex-Glass — Fri, 14 Dec 2018 15:55:01 +0000

Before now, windows were merely an afterthought in the construction process in Nigeria but not anymore. Now Nigerians are asking for windows with values that can enhance their lifestyle.

Since 2015, windows, like other aspects of the house are following modern trends in overall design aesthetics all over the world due to the following reasons;

1. Climate change: Since the UN climate change conference in Paris 2015, top-level architects in Nigeria have begun to incorporate and promote sustainable building through the application of bioclimatic design and energy-saving solutions for buildings. This application takes into consideration the local climatic conditions in other to improve energy efficiency in buildings.

2. Clients getting more sophisticated: Lately, the perception of windows by Nigerians who seek ways to enhance their lifestyle has changed. Consequently, the need for architects and designers to satisfy them with more sophisticated and efficient solutions has risen. This inevitably involves incorporating windows into their new and remodeled home projects, to make beautiful statements of
class with regards to their societal status. Nigerians’ taste in good finishing and automation of houses and interior has dramatically shifted.

3. Functionality and Design: As Nigerians become more technologically informed, it becomes imperative to modify window hardware to enable a wide range of functions and opening systems to suit their mood, weather and their day to day needs. With the aforementioned reasons came the emergence of high-end windows in Nigeria. Some types of high-end windows in Nigeria since 2015 are;

1. Rotex flagship Tilt and turn double glazed windows: The Tilt and Turn window gives you the freedom to choose how to ventilate your space. You can tilt, turn or keep your window open at a micro-ventilation position depending on your mood and the weather. It also comes with stylishly fixed nets, window sills that serve as an extra shelf for multiple decor purposes. This is now
perceived as the best windows in Nigeria.

2. Rotex remote and switch controlled system: This comes with a durable opening system and it is a combination of functionality and class. Nigerians mainly see this as a statement of class. However, these windows are easily incorporated into a smart-home system and can be centrally operated.

3. Rotex Pull and Slide patio door: This adds an elegant exit to any pool-side, veranda or lounge. Offers easy functionality and highly durable as it is powered by European hardware from top brands.

4. Rotex Foldable Patio doors: This is perfect for lovers of space as it doubles as both interior and exterior door, in instances where you want to integrate your indoor and outdoor spaces. It helps transform and enlarge space when folded into a compact design.

A European company that stands out in this realm of high-end windows in Nigeria is Rotex Glass LTD. After just 3 years of entry into the Nigerian market space, Rotex prides itself with THE BEST WINDOWS IN NIGERIA today. The company’s strategy is to deliver windows that MUST enhance the lifestyle of the user.

1. Energy Efficient: At Rotex, they give you high-end windows that refund your money. How so? Rotex double-glazed windows reduce very sharply the penetration of heat into the house by deflecting up to 60% of the heat rays from the sun. This means that your air-conditioners would have to do less work thus saving the amount of energy they consume. Your saved cost on electric energy becomes the refund of what you invested in these windows.

2. Noise reduction: It is a fact that noise pollution degrades our quality of life and has a negative impact on our health. From damaging our hearing, increasing the heart rate, anxiety and stress levels which leads to high blood pressure, to affecting school and work performance. The good news is we've got ROTEX to the rescue! Their double glazed noise-reduction windows and
doors SHUT DOWN 95% of external noise and this means, sound sleep and an increase in school and work performance!

3. Dust reduction: Study proves that dust mites are a common cause of Asthma in children and other dust related allergies. Modern houses today deserve no-dust penetration windows because they have your health concerns covered. That means no particle of dust can ever penetrate their windows, no matter how long you are away from that house! We know that people with dust mites allergies often suffer the most in their homes. Hence, Rotex windows remains our first choice considering the moist/damp rainy season and in the dusty harmattan season.

4. Durable and long lasting: The Rotex window profile system consists of innovative highly durable metal internally and uPvc externally which is resistant to moisture, atmospheric pollution, moulds, does not rot, rust, blister or flake and does not change in shape. Unlike aluminium profiles, Rotex frames are unaffected by salt corrosion which makes them perfect for coastal dwellers in Nigeria. The scorching heat from the sun during the harmattan season would not cause the frames to fade because they are highly UV resistant.

5: Low maintenance: Rotex windows are easy to clean with a simple wash of soapy water from inside the house and can not be damaged by tough stains.

6. Top security: Rotex has now launched her bullet-proof windows in Nigeria. The company has researched the very best security glass and profiles for the Nigerian Lead scene. Their bullet-proof windows series have been tested with the most regularly used guns in Nigeria. 9 millimeter bullets could not penetrate even one of the 2 glasses in their new IGU!!! These top security windows are now on offer from Rotex showrooms in Nigeria. This company has become the undisputable pace-setter in high-end windows industry in Nigeria. There is now a saying, “a house with Rotex windows always stands out”. Nigerians now see Rotex windows in a house as a status feature.

Obviously other European companies will emerge in Nigeria and that will only be to the benefit of the consumers. So, when next a company offers you windows, ask, “What values can your
windows bring to my house and how can they enhance my lifestyle?”

Benefits of Rotex Glass Energy Saving Windows

Rotex-Glass — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 13:21:05 +0000

Rotex uPVC windows are energy saving windows which are essentials in our homes.

Due to the airtight construction of double glazed windows, thermal insulation is created for the purpose of balancing the weather to benefit end users.

They are designed to control the weather; during cold weather they block condensation and in sunny times it controls the heat flow. The benefits are endless with features that conquer our weather.

These energy saving windows are created for the comfort of our customers, with saving light bills, eliminating drafts, blocking moisture, saving repair cost, damage control and lighting control; Energy is being saved when the weather is controlled through the use of high quality edge spaces, frames and thermal insulation.

The spacers are used to block moisture and prevent condensation while the thermal insulation controls heat flow in and out of the environment. The efficacy of the windows ranges from 11 to 24 percent in heat season and range 7 to 31 percent in cold season.

This will save extra bills for air conditioning and so much more. The common issue with normal windows is their lack of ability to control movements that feel drafty with continuous loss of heat. These windows are protected by a thin layer of metal which repels condensation. This prevents the room from getting cold.

Also, Rotex windows prevent direct UV (ultraviolet) rays through the glass into the home which can cause overheating, discomfort as well as fading to items in the house such as carpet, paintings, fabrics, artwork, paper, wood and others.

These high quality energy saving windows are clear and easy to maintain. Tinting is not required in order to perform. Tinting is extra cost and can reduce the visible light as well as obstruct sight.

Rotex uPVC windows are recommended because they provide maximum comfort, quality and aesthetics that is unmatched anywhere in Africa.

Rotex Glass Windows offer up to 99% Dust and Noise Reduction From Homes

Rotex-Glass — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 13:14:12 +0000

For windows to have noise and dust reduction capability, they must be layered with a gas filled space to absorb the noise and filter the sound as well as thickness in the glass to eliminate dirt.

Rotex uPVC windows consist of a spectacular noise and dust reduction feature which is thicker than an average double glazed window that has two panes of 3mm glass separated by a 6mm gas pocket.

It consists of a greater gap using thick and laminated glass which improves the acoustic insulation quality or sound transmission glass and keeps outside elements out of the home or work space, thereby protecting furniture, office equipment and artwork. They are welded and have multiple chamber construction.

Reduction of noise is not so simple, because noise pollution come in different forms; air traffic, busy roads, construction noise, traffic noise and so much more. However, using Rotex double glazed windows can eliminate noise from a home by 95%.

Rotex uPVC windows control noise with the use of acoustic glass which reduces the sound wave’s energy. It also provides insulation for collision and airborne noise as well as maintains the safety and security properties of laminated glass. It is best used for commercial and domestic buildings especially for skylights, patio doors, windows e.t.c.

Rotex Limited has developed the double glazed unit glass solutions which are integrated in window systems. With the benefits of being highly durable, they are completely sealed to serve as a gap proof window system. Thus, preventing dust from penetrating the home and work environment.

Rotex uPVC windows eliminate 99% of dust, drafts and dirt as small as 0.3 microns (bacteria, viruses, fumes and pollen). It delivers maximum benefit of a high-efficiency and safe window.

Advantages of Rotex Double Glazed Windows

Rotex-Glass — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 13:01:59 +0000

Rotex double-glazed windows also known as insulated glass, consists of two panes; clear and thick glass separated by a vacuum or gas filled space to reduce heat transfer across a part of the building envelope. Double-glazed windows offer tremendous advantages as they feature; Saving energy cost:

These double-glazed windows create thermal insulation which reduces the flow of heat. This exposes an energy saving feature which is due to the double layer of glass. This will help manage our energy bills and lessen use of air conditioner which takes a lot of energy.

The glass balances the weather especially in the northern region of Nigeria during very cold weather. It prevents moisture blocking which leads to condensation. This will help keep warm at home.

Damage control:
With heat-controlling features to prevent damaging of furniture, carpet and home paintings, it also prevents home incidents or burglary. Due to its thick layers, it cannot easily be broken or pened from the inside. This increases longevity for both objects at home and the windows itself.

Noise control:
Due to the gas filled space, the windows act as some sought of soundproof which filters noise from the outer environment. This is the best for residents of urban areas.

Increases value:
Once these double glazed windows have being installed the value of your home immediately increases. If necessity to sell the house in the future comes up, this investment will benefit you. In Nigeria, the double-hung windows which are commonly installed when building homes have less advantage in relation to our weather. These windows consist of a single pane unit which has no heat protecting feature, rather limited ventilation and are not as airtight.

With the production of uPVC double glazed windows progressing, Rotex has established itself as the first producers of such glass solution in Nigeria.

Why Nigerians Should Install Energy Saving Building Materials – Dr. John George

Rotex-Glass — Sat, 27 Feb 2016 18:02:10 +0000

Why Nigerians Should Install Energy Saving Building Materials – Dr. John George — (exclusive interview granted Leadership Newspaper, by Rotex Group CEO)

By Chika Okeke

Dr. John George, the Chief Executive Officer of Rotex Group of Companies Limited has been working in glass processing industry in Europe for the past 19 years. The former Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation, Europe, in this interview with CHIKA OKEKE gives reasons why Nigerians should install energy saving doors and windows and the need for the federal government to collaborate with experts in regulating the building industry. Excerpts

Source of raw materials

Most of the materials we use come from Germany. Unfortunately, the volume of materials we need to produce the glass windows and doors are presently not available in Nigeria. We are in dialogue with some raw manufacturers in Nigeria to engage them in producing the kind of raw materials we need. We are very hopeful that in a couple of years, they can produce the kind of materials we will buy. It’s for our own benefit as well because in doing so, we will be providing jobs for them and get Nigerians more engaged.

We started the dialogue the latter part of last year and the dialogue is going well. They are happy to adapt their machinery to produce the kind of product we need and we are helping them with technical data from Europe to enable them quicken the process. So, it’s an active ongoing dialogue.

Employment policy

We are already building a factory in Nigeria to produce top quality windows and doors and glass materials for buildings. The companies we are engaging in dialogue are manufacturers of raw materials that we can use in our factory. At least, 80 per cent of the staff will be Nigerians and within our five years of operation, I believe that 95 to 96 per cent workforce will be Nigerians.

It is our joy to build capacity for our people. We have contributed enough to the industry in Europe and its time now to contribute to Nigeria industry as well as the growth of the economy.

Difference between Rotex glass doors and windows and other conventional doors in Nigerian market

Rotex doors and windows have a range of functionalities that are absent at the moment in the windows and doors in Nigeria market.

The windows are made not just to create an opportunity for ventilation in the house or for light to penetrate in the house but its designed to solve problems for the home. We have a very noisy environment and we are a noisy society. It can cut noise from outside up to 90 per cent. It can reduce the amount of money spent on electricity bills to power air conditioners because we used double- glazed glasses for the windows which normally deflect 65 per cent of heating rays coming from sun into the house.

If the heat rays are deflected, the air conditioners will have 65 per cent less work to do which will consume 65 per cent less electricity. For a country like ours that is battling with shortage of electricity, it is of immense importance to introduce energy saving building materials to manage the already scarce power.

Rotex windows enable the cleaning of exterior and interior surface of the windows without inviting people to climb from external part of the house. Because of their durability, they will open and close the same way as the day they were installed, thirty five years down the line and more.

The reason being that during the installation, we leave some space between the windows and the walls which are called expansion space for the frame. No matter the type of material used in constructing the window like wood, aluminium, steel, frames, when the temperature outside is high, the material expands. When the temperature cools, the material contracts. If there is no space around the window to enable it expand and contract, the room will be deformed which is what happens to about 99 percent of doors and windows in Nigeria.

We are bringing in that correct approach into the installation of windows. At the moment, we are training artisans free of charge across the industry.

Training programme

Last year, we trained 14 installers presently in Nigeria but this year; we intend to be more robust in this training. Our windows can only be installed by certified installers who have passed the installation training.

Let me emphasize that the gasket used for Rotex glass windows prevents entry of any particle of dust or any odour into the house and even when is closed, its seals out every environmental hazards in the environment.

For us, delivering just a beautiful window is not enough but we believe that the window should be able to serve significant functions to the room. This is the major difference between the concept of Rotex glass doors and windows and the conventional ones in Nigerian market.

How long have you been in Nigeria?

We started in 2014 by harmonizing the factory which we are still busy building at the moment but we have not started active business. As we are building the factory, we are creating awareness though not profit making at the moment. When the factory begins full operation, we will make profit.

Government regulating building materials

In all countries where this is done properly, the government generate policies to regulate the market in consultations with professionals who have been exposed to properly regulated markets. Apart from Rotex glass limited, there may be other companies who have relevant experience and the professional knowledge that we can share with the government which they can use to generate their templates for regulation. There may be people willing to partner with the government in carrying out the regulation.

Will your company be willing to partner with the government if invited?

Yes, it’s an opportunity call for me. In the past, I have been the Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation Europe. It was one of my passions at that time to drive technology from Europe to Nigeria. In participating in this process today, I’m happy that I am doing what I said earlier.

Building collapse and possible causes

Again, it boils down to regulation. For instance where I lived in the UK, if you start a building and when you finish the foundation, it is mandatory that you invite the Department of Building in Local Council to come and inspect the foundation. If they certify that you have done all that needs to be done at that level, they will give you permission to continue.

When you raise the walls, they will come and inspect, when you roof, they will come and do the third and last inspection. So, there are no excuses that the house was built before you moved in. If you go beyond the foundation before they come for inspection, you will demolish whatever structures you have raised.

Depending on how thorough the supervision and regulation of building processes are, it gives you the result you have either you have houses collapsing or houses that can stand for over 100 years without collapsing.

The quality of materials used will be checked and vetted by these organs. Wherever there is no control, there will hardly be any quality service delivery.
