Profiling technique

Recognize Aluminum Window Quality in the Profile Build-Up.

A modern aluminum window separates indoor and outdoor climate through several precisely coordinated layers. Together, glass, gaskets, insulating webs and insulation cores form an efficient system.

6 Important functional areas in the profile

Overall view

Inside a Thermally Broken Aluminum Window Profile.

The construction conducts water to the outside in a controlled manner, retaining drafts and minimizing the direct heat flow through the metal.

  • Thermally separated inner and outer shell
  • circumferential sealing planes
  • Insulated glass fold and window frame
  • Stable receptacle for glass and fittings

Components

Six Functional Zones of an Aluminum Window.

Triple insulating glass

Three panes and two gaps reduce heat loss and external noise.

Glass fold insulation

The insulation zone under the glass package closes the transition between glass and sashes.

Four-head insulating web

Multiplicitypart webs separate the aluminum shells and interrupt the heat conduction.

Medium seal

The central seal separates external and internal climate and protects the folding space.

Insulation foam

Dimensionally stable insulating bodies support the thermal separation in the profile core.

Baffle frame insulation

A large-volume insulating core improves the thermal protection of the fixed frame.

Choose the Aluminum Profile by Insulation, Size and Opening Type.

Element size, insulation target and opening type determine the optimal construction.
