VEKA Launches Softline 82 – Passivhaus: Redefining Energy-Efficient Window Technology for the Future

New tilt-and-turn window system has been designed to meet world-leading environment standard, Passivhaus.

VEKA plc is pleased to introduce the Softline 82 – Passivhaus window system, a newly developed product at the forefront of eco-conscious window technology, meeting Passivhaus standards for superior energy performance, sustainability, and design.

This tilt-and-turn window system seamlessly integrates modern aesthetics with unparalleled functionality.  It meets the growing demand for eco-conscious building solutions from architects, specifiers and installers, without compromising on the quality, style, comfort and energy saving requirements of homeowners.

Softline 82 – Passivhaus has been developed in line with Passivhaus, the internationally recognised energy-efficient building standard, designed to reduce heating and cooling energy consumption by up to 90% compared to conventional construction.

Passivhaus designs prioritise insulation, airtight construction and passive solar gain to create buildings that maintain a stable indoor temperature year-round, requiring minimal heating or cooling.

By reducing energy consumption, Passivhaus helps to lower energy bills, decrease carbon emissions and support sustainable building practices.

Why Softline 82 – Passivhaus?

VEKA’s Softline 82 – Passivhaus window system not only meets but exceeds these rigorous standards, achieving a U-value as low as 0.79 W/m²K.

Constructed with an 82mm multi-chamber profile and enhanced by triple glazing, the Softline 82 – Passivhaus window offers exceptional insulation, noise reduction, and airtightness.

Its advanced centre seal prevents heat loss, moisture infiltration and drafts, making it ideal for any climate. This results in a comfortable indoor environment, year-round energy savings and minimal maintenance.

Made from robust PVCu, it provides a cost-effective alternative to timber or aluminium windows, while still meeting the high standards of eco-friendly construction.

PVCu’s exceptional durability and maintenance requirements make it the ideal material for Softline 82 – Passivhaus’ long-term performance promises as it resists rotting and corrosion while maintaining its sleek, modern aesthetic.

Additionally, its tilt-and-turn functionality makes it an excellent option for areas with high wind exposure, including high-rise developments and projects in coastal or mountainous regions.

Design-led approach with security as standard

Beyond its technical performance, the Softline 82 – Passivhaus has been developed with aesthetics front-of-mind.

Available in a range of bespoke colours and finishes, it blends seamlessly with a wide variety of architectural styles. And, with its proven durability and security – tested to meet British Standards PAS 24 and BS 6375 – it offers both long-lasting performance and secure peace of mind.

Jack Scullion, product and innovation manager at VEKA plc, said:

“At VEKA, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. The Softline 82 – Passivhaus window is a direct outcome of our deep commitment to developing premium, eco-friendly solutions for today’s environmental needs.

 “This product is the perfect choice for architects, specifiers, and homeowners who want to prioritise energy efficiency without compromising on design or comfort.”

Certified by the Passive House Institute, the Softline 82 – Passivhaus window system represents VEKA’s commitment to delivering world-class energy-efficient solutions. Rigorously tested by VEKA’s in-house team, it ensures superior performance, quality and reliability.

Jack added: “Integrating Passivhaus into our product development also further aligns with VEKA’s commitment to a circular economy.

“PVCu offers a long lifespan, is virtually maintenance-free and can be fully recycled at the end of its life, making it an environmentally responsible choice for future-forward building projects.”
