System Highlights & Technical Details
Precision-engineered for performance, flexibility, and long-term durability.
Profile System
- Modular aluminium profile system with excellent heat insulation and building depth of 84 mm
- Bottom-running; minimal load support required in case of falls
- Edged profiling
- Sight line of 132.5 mm in the panel butt joint, further structural profiles can be added in the panel butt joint areas depending on structural requirements (e.g. extreme wind loads). This results in a sight line of 129 mm in the panel butt joint
- Single-piece, multi-functional, fibreglass-reinforced polyamide bionic TURTLE® break profile
- Loose shear bond built into thermal break to compensate for thermal loads
- Mitred panels connected by corner connections that are glued and pressed together on the inside to create a sturdy joint
- Controlled drainage
- Built-in running tracks and guide rails
- Separate levels for runners and locks
- Floor track (accessible and suitable for living spaces) available
- Built-in, concealed cable routing
Sealing System
- The seal encompasses two all-round sealing levels with constant gap sizes and even seal pressure between the panels
