Materials
Aluminium profiles are extruded from aluminium alloy 6060T6, T5 or T4 complying with the recommendations of BS EN 12020-2 / BS EN 755 Parts 1-9. Polyamide thermal breaks are produced from glass reinforced nylon sections designed to withstand temperatures in excess of 200°C, allowing the sections to be powder coated after thermal breaking.
Construction
Frame members are mitre cut at 45°, corners are reinforced with extruded aluminium crimping cleats and corner braces. A secure joint is formed by pneumatically crimping into the extruded crimping cleat. Mullion and transom bars are square cut shaped and fixed securely to the frame by means of stainless steel screws and fixing cleats. All frame joints are sealed during construction against entry of water. Extruded weatherstrips and glazing gaskets are provided to resist the ingress of water.
Finishes
The range of sections can be provided in either of the following ranges of finishes:
- Anodised to BS 1615 or BS 3987 or BS EN 12373-1
- Powder organic coated to BS 6496 or BS EN 12206-1
Metal Technology's powder coating is produced to Qualicoat standards.
