Performance, stated in the right language.
A performance figure belongs to a build-up, not a brochure.
Wind, water, air, sound and heat are decided by profile, glass, hardware, seals and installation together.
The values below are catalogue figures for the named systems. Final performance depends on size, glazing build-up, fixing detail and the test standard of the destination market — so every project is confirmed against an approved shop drawing and, where required, a model test report.
We do not display certification marks we have not obtained. If your market requires SABER, CE, AS or NFRC documentation, state the standard at enquiry stage and we will confirm what can be supplied for that project.
Each figure needs a build-up behind it.
* 45 dB is the catalogue acoustic figure for the relevant system, measured under laboratory conditions. Site performance depends on the installed build-up. The bars indicate design emphasis only; they are not test grades.
Take the performance apart, layer by layer.
Configuration changes with the system and the project. The table explains the options; it is not a fixed data sheet.
One system can deliver different performance: from a standard insulating unit to laminated Low-E glass, from two seal lines to a full multi-line seal, from a basic multi-point lock to a reinforced locking set. Before quoting, we put the configuration in writing so “built to a high standard” never becomes the specification.
Where needed, we work back from the wind and thermal requirements of your market, then issue the matching shop drawings and opening schedule.
| Profile | 6063-T5 aluminium, thermally broken |
|---|---|
| Wall thickness | As approved on the shop drawing and the destination market requirement |
| Thermal break | PA66 GF25 strip, optional foam fill |
| Glazing | Insulating; laminated, Low-E, tinted or frosted as specified |
| Hardware | Multi-point locking, concealed hinges or rollers from qualified suppliers |
| Sealing | EPDM gaskets, multiple seal lines, drained and vented sill |
| Finish | Powder coating, anodising, PVDF or porcelain finish |
| Installation interface | Sill, reveal and fixing details issued with the shop drawing |
Six checks, not one last look.
Each stage is checked before the next one starts; a non-conforming part does not move forward.
Alloy, temper, wall thickness, finish and glass batch are checked against the order before release to the line.
Cut length, end square, machining positions and corner crimping are checked at the bench.
Spacer bend, desiccant fill, butyl and secondary sealant are inspected on each unit before pressing.
Hardware, gaskets, glazing and operation are checked on every leaf.
Air, water and operation are sampled at the agreed frequency; project-specific testing is arranged separately where required.
Size, colour, glass, hardware, label and quantity are checked against the packing list.
We do not display certificates we do not hold.
Markets test differently, and a certificate applies to a specific model and build-up. Confirm the scope before relying on it.
We can provide material declarations, glass reports and hardware data for a project. Where the project requires it, we can arrange testing to the relevant standard at a recognised laboratory. Certificates are issued by the laboratory for a specific model; cost and lead time are confirmed per project.
This site does not display CE, UL, NFRC, SABER or AS marks unless the corresponding certificate has been obtained for the model and can be supplied.
If the test standard is fixed at drawing stage, send the standard reference, the size to be tested and who carries the cost. We will quote a workable route against it.
