Multi-storey buildings made of glass and metal, which can be found in any major city from Moscow to New York, have become a real symbol of modern architecture. Moreover, the designers and designers who willingly use these materials in their projects do not plan to part with them in the coming years. Aluminum profile systems, including the post-transom series alt=" F50 and its modifications alt=" F50 SG and alt=" F50 SSG from ALUTECH Group of Companies, help to create an architecture sparkling in the sun.
Transparent does not mean cold
The "classic" version of the alt=" F50 system includes aluminum posts and transoms with a visible width of only 50 mm. Due to this, the maximum light transmission of the facade structures, which are created with its use, is achieved.
Considering the high energy efficiency requirements applied to most modern buildings, thermal inserts and seals made of materials are used in the construction of the alt=F50 mullion-transom facade system, which ensure its excellent thermal performance. Additionally, it is possible to install a filling with a thickness of 4 to 62 mm: double-glazed windows, heat-insulating panels. As a result, high levels of thermal insulation are achieved:
- When installing a filling with a thickness of 26 mm using a thermal insert made of solid shock-resistant polyvinyl chloride, the reduced resistance to heat transfer is Rpr ≧ 0.42 m2 · ° C / W.
- When installing a filling with a thickness of 56 mm with the use of a rebate seal made of foam material, the reduced resistance to heat transfer is Rpr ≧ 1.53 m2 · ° C / W.
Thermophysical characteristics of buildings, during the construction of which the alt=" F50 system was used, increase without a significant increase in the cost per square meter of the structure
As for the appearance of the translucent facade alt=" F50, it can be played up in completely different ways. The manufacturer offers several options for the profiles of decorative covers installed on the clamping strips (standard rectangular, radius and volumetric). All visible structural elements can be painted in one of more than 200 RAL colors or anodized. Such a variety of solutions makes the profiles of the alt=" F50 series the optimal choice for architects and designers who are not used to giving up even their most daring ideas.
T Transformation of the classics
The alt=F50 system is deservedly called universal. It has several modifications to create different types of glazing, which means it can be used to implement various architectural projects. For example, for public facilities - business and shopping centers - technologies of structural (ALT F50 SG) and semi-structural glazing (ALT F50 SSG) are often used.
In particular, the alt=F50 SG system is used for the production of translucent facades without visible fastening of double-glazed windows. The filling is fixed from the end of the filling, and thermal insulating materials are installed in the space between the glass units.
ALT F50 SG allows you to implement structures of various configurations and degrees of complexity: straight, angular, bay window, inclined. At the same time, the manufacture and installation of double-glazed windows is simplified, and the seams between them can be sealed both with the help of silicone sealant and with the help of seals.
The semi-structural glazing alt=" F50 SSG is also based on the classic post / transom system alt=" F50. The main aesthetic difference of this facade solution is the absence of wide 50 mm clamping and decorative covers. Instead, thin, flat, almost invisible from the outside pressure profiles are used. Painted black, they adhere tightly to the glass and create the illusion of structural glazing.
At the same time, the alt=" F50 SSG system provides for the installation of "warm" windows - thermal inserts and seals available in the system allow installing double-glazed windows with a thickness of 28 to 62 mm. Glazing, as well as the installation of window blocks, are carried out outside the building.
Translucent facades, which give buildings a bright architectural expressiveness, do not lose their relevance. Taking this into account, the possibilities of aluminum profile systems used for their construction are also expanding. Confirmation of this is the improvement of the alt=F50 system, modifications of which allow creating stylish objects that adorn entire cities.
You can order profiles of the alt=F50 system and its modifications from the representatives of the ALUTECH Group of Companies in your region.
