Our 4700-Series ThermoPlus PHP Tilt & Turn Windows go above and beyond the standard for style and design among tilt & turn windows. By combining unparalleled esthetic with the thermal performance needed for a Passive House design, we provide the best in style and engineering. Not only are these windows some of the most customizable and visually appealing on the market, but they are also rated at the highest StepCode possible according to the B.C Energy StepCode Council. These ratings help to reduce CO2 emissions, and ultimately, save you money.
In addition to great features that come standard with our 4700-Series Windows, our ThermoPlus PHC Windows are also to achieve the thermal performance needed for a Passive House design. By combining the six-chamber vinyl-fibreglass hybrid frame with foam inserts and triple-pane insulating glazing this window is one of the most energy efficient and highest rated by B.C StepCodes on the market. Including the new generation GENEO® window profiles, these windows combine the benefits of uPVC and fibreglass in a new hybrid RAU-FIPRO® material.
Not only do they help save you money by reducing CO2 emissions, but our 4700-Series Windows are also very secure, featuring a tilt & turn operation with multi-point locking hardware. One easy-to-operate handle moves the multi-point locking hardware into place and locks the window on all sides for higher security and a tighter seal.
With a smooth and easy-to-clean finish, these our 4700-Series windows are exceptionally durable. Protected by a heavy-metal free, environmentally-safe nano coating, they have state-of-the-art protection against corrosion and even form a self-healing skin for small scratches. Using an innovative composite material we can build a window profile with high stability, torsion stiffness, and structural properties – all characteristics not previously possible in vinyl window systems without the addition of steel reinforcements.
The high-performance glazing that is added to the glass gives you the most durable, versatile and energy-efficient window system in its class forming a virtually impenetrable barrier for anything mother nature may throw at it. Whether it is a single family house or a high rise building, this window is the perfect way to create peace-of-mind within a comfortable environment.
This window has the same features as our ThermoPlus window, but with the addition of foam inserts** and an upgraded centre gasket.

ThermoPlus comes with the new generation REHAU® GENEO®window profiles with a depth of 86 mm, combining the benefits of uPVC and fibreglass in a new hybrid RAU-FIPRO® material.
RAU-FIPRO forms a continuous, weldable reinforcement that provides superior inner strength. The outer layer of high-grade uPVC forms a smooth, low-maintenance, easy-to-clean, and pore-free surface that only high-grade vinyl can provide. Both layers are inseparably fused during the extrusion of the monolithic structure. RAU-FIPRO is an innovative composite material formulation created by REHAU, based on its extensive experience with composite materials for aircrafts and Formula 1® race cars, and in the design and extrusion of high-performance uPVC window profiles. The result is a window profile with high stability, torsion stiffness, and structural properties – all characteristics not formerly possible in vinyl window systems without the addition of steel reinforcements.
The ThermoPlus window system combines the GENEO profiles with multi-point locking ROTO NT hardware, protected by a RotoSil® nano coated surface, where the base steel is galvanized and passivated with nano particles, then optically sealed. This tensions the surface, providing excellent protection against corrosion, while forming a self-healing skin for small scratches. The coating technology is environmentally safe because it is free of Chromium (VI) compounds and other heavy metals.
Add high-performance glazing and you get the most durable, versatile and energy-efficient window system in its class. With its sophisticated six-chamber profiles, robust and durable hardware, and high-performance glazing, the ThermoPlus window system forms a virtually impenetrable barrier for anything mother nature may throw at it, whether it is a single family house or a high rise building. The perfect way to create peace-of-mind within a comfortable environment.
4700-series windows feature tilt & turn operation with multi-point locking hardware – because what is more important than security for you and your family?
One easy-to-operate handle moves the multi-point locking hardware into place and locks the window on all sides for higher security and a tighter seal.
With the handle in the “turn” position, the sash turns inwards at the side. This position allows for easy cleaning from the interior, rapid cross-ventilation, and quick emergency egress.
With the handle in the “tilt” position, the sash tilts inwards at the top, providing draft- free, secure ventilation.
*The window frame is certified based on certain variables. See certificate. See test report for further details on products that are certified, or compliant (without certification).
**Foam inserts where possible. If steel reinforcement is necessary, it negates the use of some of the foam inserts.
Profile
Foam Inserts
ThermoPlus PHC contains large chambers that provide thermal breaks, whose insulation performance is maximized by the use of thermal foam modules.
Reinforcement
Because of the strength provided by the fibreglass in the profiles, most windows do not require additional reinforcement.
This makes ThermoPlus window lighter compared to other high-quality, steel-reinforced windows, making installation easier and faster.
Larger windows and doors are still reinforced with roll-formed galvanized steel that is fastened to the profiles to provide additional strength. Where reinforcement is required, thermal foam modules will not be possible in all chambers.
Seals
With its three surrounding seals – two compression gaskets and one centre seal – ThermoPlus offers the best possible insulation characteristics.
The highly elastic, stress-resistant flexible PVC seal material guarantees a long service life.
Hardware
Glazing
Windows are rated with respect to the rate of air infiltration per unit length of the window opening against winds at 40 km/h (25 mi/h).

Test to CSA-A440 test sizes
The window is subjected to several levels of pressure applied inwards and outwards. To satisfy a given level of performance, the window must simultaneously fulfill both performance criteria.
