Press Release Body: Fenesta Building Systems (FBS), a Division of Rs. 3,000 crores
DCM Shriram Consolidated Ltd (DSCL), has for the first time in India unveiled a new
range of monsoon-proof and wind resistant windows for high rise buildings and
extreme weather conditions. These world class UPVC Windows and Door Systems are
especially designed for the lifestyle conscious people in the country.

The new state of the art Fenesta range is designed and developed by FBS purely in
India, using its in-house expertise. It is not only the first of its kind in India
but perhaps in the world. The new range is expected to bring both comfort and
ambience to the home dwellers in the country. It is priced in the range of Rs. 450
to Rs. 600 per sq.ft.

The new system has an international look and feel and provides an exciting array of
features for all segments of house dwellers. Owners of farm houses and bungalows
will have access to a trendy product that comes in a variety of contemporary designs
with larger window sizes that provide wider, unrestricted views. House owners on
busy streets can take advantage of the triple sealing system to completely
obliterate noise and dust. The new system is especially significant for high-rise,
condominium dwellers as it effectively counters high-pressure winds and rains,
considerably enhancing the safety and comfort of their houses.

These windows have been precision engineered to counter wind loads upto 3000 Pa (249
Km/h) and to withstand heavy rains. This system is made unique by a special
"Hurricane Bar" to resist heavy winds and a "Rain Track" that drains rainwater
outside thereby effectively preventing it from seeping indoors. The new range offers
latest styles like Slider-Casement combinations and Tilt & Turn windows. This is in
addition to the design options of Sliders, Casements, Bays, Arches and French doors
in the existing range.


Amongst other features of Fenesta UPVC windows & doors are:
*They are structurally strong and durable as they are steel reinforced.
*They are fire resistant and self-extinguishing and do not fade or discolor even in
the wake of harsh weather conditions.
*These windows have special sealing from rain, dust and pollution, thus making them
resistant to bad weather and corrosion.
*They are highly cost effective as they bring down air conditioning bills and
require very low maintenance.
*They not only offer the elegance and aesthetics of wood but also provide
flexibility of aluminum. The installation process for these windows require minimal
effort.
*A variety of color and design options have made these windows the preferred choice
of builders, architects and individuals across India.

The steel reinforced Fenesta UPVC windows and door systems were first launched in
India in 2003 in technical collaboration with Spectus Window Systems, UK, a pioneer
and market leader having significant presence in US and Eastern Europe.

Fenesta is committed to continuously evolving its product range to meet the changing
needs of the Indian consumers. In the last 4 years, Fenesta has set up sales offices
in 10 locations across India and fabrication facilities at Bhiwadi, Mumbai,
Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai with a collective investment of Rs. 60 crore. The
company is adding a new Fabrication facility in Kolkata for its Eastern India foray.
Land for this new facility has already been identified. Over the next few years
Fenesta plans to widen its national footprint and also cover newer territories
across Middle East.
