GLASFËNS 180AWL.c

180AWL.c is a thermally insulated aluminum lift & slide door system with interior wood cladding and a 180 mm basic depth. 6063-T6 high-quality aluminum profile extrusion. Aluminum frame and sash corner connections are sealed with German Weiss frame connection sealant. Wood provides naturalness and warmth as a material, as well as low thermal conductivity. This composite of aluminum and wood features a weather-resistant aluminum frame with a warm wood surface on the inside. This results in a composite door with good insulation properties with narrow construction depth and many possibilities of color design. Wood creates comfort – it is a feel-good material. Aluminum, on the other hand, offers a robust protective shield against the elements. Put together, they form an aluminum lift & slide door with a wood interior that lasts for generations without the need for continuous maintenance. Next to the classic wood types such as spruce and larch, we can also offer you oak, ash and walnut. These are available in different colors. In addition to RAL colors, GlasFëns offers a selection of transparent and semi-transparent stains (e.g. oak, mahogany, beech, walnut). Thus, your composite lift & slide door can perfectly match your interior design, your floors, and your interior doors.

German made hardware are standard on this window. The biggest benefit that a multipoint locking system brings to a door or window is the added security and improved occupant sense of safety. Multipoint systems can also improve weatherstripping performance and offer a more secure and weather resistant seal. This is one of the reasons multipoint locking systems have been embraced in Europe, where more stringent energy code requirements are in place. Of course, multipoint locks are also recognised by insurance companies as offering enhanced and improved security to homes and businesses. High strength and security from multipoint locking on all 4 sides. Airtight and weather-sealed with continuous gasketing on all 4 sides. Multipoints also help prevent warping, even for very tall leafs.

Multiple EPDM weather seal strips. Aviation grade EPDM gaskets are an outstanding long-term seal. They have many advantages: excellent acoustic and thermal insulation, high elasticity and long-term elastic recovery, UV-resistant, ozone-resistant, weatherproof, no contact discoloration on coatings, and elastic and impermeable at temperature ranges from -35 °C to +100 °C.

 

Aluminum powder coat by Netherlands Interpon Akzo Nobel is standard. Interpon D3000 Fluoromax® is a series of hyper-durable powder coatings designed to meet the requirements of AAMA 2605-05, the most demanding architectural specification in the world.

Standard glazing for 180AWL.c is 5mm Saint-Gobain Planitherm Ultra N II / ARG90 / CLR / ARG90 / Planitherm Ultra N II (5mm/5mm/5mm) 39mm, with industry-leading Ködispace 4SG TPS spacer. Planitherm is high transmission range, high-performance, low-emissivity products, offering the lowest center pane U- value in the market thus providing excellent thermal insulation for the most demanding of glass specifications. Renowned for its extremely neutral appearance Planitherm very effectively reflects long-wave heat radiation back into a room, thereby minimizing heat loss through a window while also maximizing solar heat gain and natural light transmission. Unlike traditional thermoplastic spacers, Ködispace 4SG TPS spacer's reactive butyl forms a chemical bond both with the silicone secondary sealing used in glass façades and with the glass surface itself. In this way, Ködispace 4SG bonds solidly with the pane and ensures long-term gas impermeability. Ködispace 4SG TPS has the best Psi and Ug values. It has the lowest failure rate in the industry against between-the-glass condensation and fogging and is why GlasFëns uses it as a standard spacer. It's an up-charge with other window suppliers but here it's standard.

Standard thermal insulation strut is Technoform Bautec polymer nylon 66 made in Germany. Polyamides offer high levels of heat resistance, stiffness, and high mechanical stability for a durable solution. Without insulation, aluminum windows, doors, and facades transfer heat, leading to a huge loss of energy. This is where our high-precision insulating profiles come into play connecting aluminum panels of any kind, while keeping mechanical performance at the highest level, they prevent the direct exchange of heat and cold – and create what is known as the “thermal break”. The result: minimized thermal conductivity, optimized efficiency, and a better energy footprint. Our aluminum window products with polyamide thermal breaks can save energy amounting to 85% and reducing CO2-emissions considerably.
