| Features
Designed to be self-supporting (will span large openings)
Primarily designed for thermoplastic glazing, but will
also accept glass
Will accept glazing up to 1" thick
Finish on aluminum framing can be your choice of anodizing or high-performance factory baked paints
Super simple connection of horizontal to vertical framing using
unique stainless steel pin method
Achieved air, water, and structural test results beyond AAMA (American
Architectural Manufacturers Association) standards
Deep glazing pockets (rabbet depth) allow thermal movement of
thermoplastic glazings
Leakage and condensation are controlled by separate gutters
"Pressure equalized" design aids in water infiltration
control
Overlapping joinery allows for dimensional variations and provides
excellent air & water infiltration resistance
Dry Glazed and incorporates low friction gasketing to maintain good air & water infiltration seal, while allowing for thermal movement of thermoplastic glazing and reducing noise caused by the movement of the glazing
Thermally Improved. Incorporates vinyl spacers which separate the exterior framing from the interior
framing
Optional cosmetic aluminum cover caps
