Aluminum Windows
Thermally broken aluminum system
PA66+GF thermal break strip: Commonly used 14–28 mm; the wider the strip, the lower the frame Uf (U-value) → more stable insulation in winter.
Overall window U-value (Uw): 1.8–2.4 W/m²·K can be achieved with common double-glazed configurations → reducing air conditioning/heating load.
Condensation control at the edge: Warm edge spacers can further reduce edge heat transfer by approximately 10–15% compared to aluminum spacers → reducing condensation at window edges.
Frame wall thickness & cavity: Door and window frames ≥1.8–2.0 mm, multi-cavity + isobaric cavity → improving structural and watertight stability.
Available: ISO 10077 calculation sheet + AS 2047/AS/NZS 4420 performance summary (sample).
Low-E Insulating Glass
Glass Ug: Double-silver/Triple-silver Low-E, Ug≈1.0–1.6 W/m²·K (24–28 mm structure, inert gas filling).
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): 0.22–0.45 (adjustable with climate and orientation) → Suppresses heat gain in summer/retains heat in winter.
Visible Light Transmittance (VT): 0.45–0.70, balancing light transmission and glare control.
Triple-glazed option: 32–40 mm IGU available in extremely cold/high-wind areas, further reducing Uw/SHGC.
Available: Glass configuration table + AS 1288/AS/NZS 4666 compatibility instructions.
Sealing and Airtightness System
Multi-layer sealing: EPDM main seal + back groove foam strip + dustproof strip (3–4 layers) → Reduces air permeability.
Air tightness (75 Pa): Window ≤ 1.5 L/s·m² (target value) → Significantly reduces cold seepage in winter and heat seepage in summer.
Water resistance rating: 300–600 Pa (window type and wind zone of the project) → No internal seepage during heavy rain.
Pressure equalization chamber/drainage: Built-in pressure equalization chamber in the profile + concealed drainage → Stable discharge under wind and rain protection.
Available: AS/NZS 4420 airtightness/watertightness test sheet + detail drawings.
