Aluminum profile systems are used in the design of the facades of buildings (facade glazing), winter gardens, greenhouses and windows. With the help of them, glass domes are created, atriums are collected, windows and doors of all kinds of configurations are installed.
Advantages
Advantages of glazing aluminum profile several. Below we will consider the main.
1. Durability. At the first glance it may seem that fragile aluminum frames. But this is far from the case. The aluminum profile is extremely resistant to environmental effects, withstanding temperature fluctuations from -60 to +60 ° C. Corrosion and increased humidity are not terrible for him. That is why the average service life of facade glazing systems with aluminum is estimated at 80.
2. Strength. Aluminum glazing involves high strength and fire resistance due to increased thickness of profiles and material itself. It uses not pure aluminum, but a special, improved alloy, which includes silicon and magnesium. Due to this, its strength is 2-3 times higher than that of PVC and seven times higher than that of a tree. Next, we talked about the convenience of use.
3. Convenience. Relatively small weight of this metal helps the embodiment of the most original architectural ideas. The ease of this design is felt not only “to the touch”, but also visually. Its installation does not depend on the type of enclosing structures and is carried out surprisingly quickly, without losses as.
5. Aesthetic appearance and compliance with the architectural features of the building.
6. Environmental safety. Aluminum is one of the most environmentally friendly metals in production and use. It does not cause allergic reactions, does not rot, does not emit toxins, does not absorb the smell, does not cause criticism of sanitary services and is disposed of without problems. Aluminum glazing involves perfect environmental friendliness.
Material
When glazing facades with aluminum, glasses are used that differ in shape (straight or curved — prayed), transparency (transparent or tinted), the number of layers (single -layer or multiplex — triplex), temperature treatment and color. Glass can be with electric heating, electrochrome (change transparency, heat absorption and dullness when the electricity is received), heat -saving, with increased thermal insulation and anti -speaking properties.
For maximum safety, glass is subjected to heat treatment. In addition, glass can have an internal metal mesh (reinforced glass) and consist of several glued together glasses (laminated glass).
As a profile for aluminum glazing, racks, crossbars, clamping strips and other forms are used. If the profile is two -layer, then it is equipped with a plastic insert to improve the thermal insulation properties of the system.
Protective-decorative (paint) or anode-oxide coatings are applied to the aluminum profile, which serve as an additional decoration and anti-corrosion protection of any facade system.
Design, manufacture, installation
Before the stage of manufacture, experts measure and, in the case of designing supporting structures, carry out geodetic survey of the object. After that, all the necessary calculations are transferred to the customer for approval.
At the production stage, the aluminum profile is made, drunk, drilled and welded. The glass also takes place the process of cutting and drilling, if necessary, the triplex is. At the end of the preparation of double -glazed windows, the profile is subjected to priming and coloring.
