• Residential suites are used residentially & normally for buildings up to 10 meters high. Frames would typically have a flange and a timber liner. A range of suites gives the ability to mix cost with product and glass performance.
• Commercial Suites range from Flush glaze and structurally glazed systems to smaller seismic window systems. Traditionally cater to taller buildings and incorporate a level of Seismic movement. These are larger sections that can span greater heights and accommodate larger and wider glass units.
• Both systems could be supplied Thermally broken or non- thermally broken and Aluminium being the dominant material, are fully recyclable. Thermally broken joinery offers reduced energy costs to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, while reducing condensation and therefore buildup of mould etc. This leads to a healthier living environment.
