Profile 22 Windows
As the UK’s leading window and door systems brand, Profile 22 has built an unparalleled reputation for quality. Their award-winning Optima product range is trusted across trade, new build, and commercial sectors—making it the ultimate, high-performance choice for your property.
With the Optima range, you benefit from market-leading standards of thermal efficiency, keeping your home comfortable year-round. These products also deliver exceptional security and advanced weatherproofing, all wrapped in a highly durable, low-maintenance package.
Recycled Composite Material (RCM) thermal inserts.
Sustainability and Advanced RCM Technology
Profile 22’s Optima range isn’t just designed for performance; it is engineered with the environment in mind. The uPVC profiles are fully recyclable, but the system’s most impressive eco-friendly innovation is hidden entirely inside the frame.
Instead of using traditional, heat-conducting steel reinforcements, Optima can be fitted with Recycled Composite Material (RCM) thermal inserts. Manufactured from first-generation, post-consumer waste uPVC, RCM acts as a highly sustainable alternative that completely eliminates the ‘cold bridge’ effect caused by metal.
Crucially, this environmental benefit does not compromise strength. RCM provides the immense structural rigidity required to securely support heavy triple-glazed units, whilst acting as an incredibly dense anchor for locks and hinges, further boosting security. Because it is non-metallic, it cannot rust or corrode over time, ensuring a structural lifespan that comfortably exceeds 35 years.

Profile Choices and Triple Glazing Capabilities
Every property has its own distinct character, which is why the Optima system offers maximum design flexibility. You can tailor your new windows to perfectly complement your home’s architecture with three distinct profile finishes:
- Chamfered: A clean, flat, and angled finish that creates a sleek, modern aesthetic. It looks equally at home on contemporary builds as it does on traditional properties.
- Sculptured: Featuring a softer, rounded, and more decorative edge, this profile closely replicates the classic detailing of traditional timber joinery.
- Flush Casement: The window sash sits perfectly flush within the outer frame. This delivers a highly authentic heritage look that mimics 19th-century flush timber windows, without the high maintenance.
When it comes to thermal efficiency, the Optima system is built for the future. The intelligent 6-chambered outer frame and 5-chambered sash are specifically engineered to handle more than just standard 28mm double glazing. The frames seamlessly accommodate high-performance triple glazing, taking units up to 40mm and 44mm thick. This allows the system to achieve exceptional Window Energy Ratings (WER) of A++ and ultra-low U-values of just 0.8 W/m²K, keeping your home incredibly warm and driving down heating bills.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between chamfered and sculptured window profiles?
Profile 22 windows are available in two distinct frame styles. A chamfered profile features flat, straight edges that create a clean and modern aesthetic, often favoured for contemporary homes. A sculptured profile features curved, decorative edges that offer a softer, more traditional look, making it a popular choice for older properties or those wanting a classic finish.
How energy efficient are Profile 22 uPVC windows?
Profile 22 frames are designed with a multi-chambered internal structure that traps air to prevent heat from escaping. When combined with modern double or triple glazing, they easily meet and exceed current UK Building Regulations for thermal efficiency. This helps to eliminate cold spots, reduce draughts, and lower your household heating bills.
What level of maintenance do these uPVC windows require?
While uPVC is highly durable and does not require the sanding or painting associated with timber, it is not completely maintenance-free. To keep the windows in optimal condition, the frames should be wiped down periodically with warm, soapy water. You will also need to keep the internal drainage channels clear of debris and apply a light oil to the hinges, handles, and locking mechanisms a few times a year.
Can I specify colours other than standard white?
Yes. Profile 22 windows are available in a wide variety of factory-applied foiled finishes. This includes traditional woodgrain effects like Rosewood or Golden Oak, as well as solid modern colours such as Anthracite Grey or Chartwell Green. Dual-colour options are also available, meaning you can have a coloured or woodgrain exterior with a standard white interior.
Are Profile 22 windows secure?
Yes, security is a core component of the Profile 22 design. The internal webbing of the uPVC profile adds structural strength, and the frames are designed to accommodate high-security multi-point locking systems. When correctly specified and installed, these windows meet strict UK security standards to protect your home against forced entry.
