Specification

Performance

The steel profiles are fully thermally broken to ensure steel framed glazing installations are suitable for year round use. This allows us to achieve high levels of thermal insulation when paired with insulating glass units.

Steel systems are suitable for international projects too, as the thermal break allows colder climates to utilise the modern industrial designs to prevent heat loss through the glazing.

The system is designed for external use and has been tested for air permeability and water tightness. Various opening types were tested with all applications to ensure a variety of applications in different locations were fully funtional and high performing.

Specific performance requirements can be met with bespoke engineering solutions, simply let us know what your specific performance requirements are and we can provide the solution.
