Designers have unlimited scope with our Fixedlight glazing systems, Frames can be fabricated to suit pane sizes up to 7.0 sq. meters. In general applications a maximum of 2400 x 2000 mm is preferred. More traditional designs are achieved using “Tee” sections to produce smaller pane sizes. Also available are circular and oblique frames for feature windows, frames with curved heads to suit arches and curved frames (in either horizontal or vertical planes) to suit special wall shapes or building profiles.
APLLICATIONS
Fixedlight glazing systems are generally used in conjunction with operable doors & windows, usually as sidelights & highlights in domestic situations. Other applications are large picture windows, skylights, commercial shop fronts, internal screens & partitions.
GLAZING
Frames can be designed to provide internal or external glazing installation. Glass type & thickness determined by Australian Standard AS1288. Maximum glass thickness is 10.38mm. Glass can be retained by face putty, screw on or clip on bead methods.
HARDWARE
No hardware is required with Fixedlight windows.
FINISHES
Steel window frames are hot dip galvanized as standard and do not require painting for corrosion protection. However, their appearance is greatly enhanced by special polyurethane paint colours applied on site by appropriate contractors after installation is completed.
INSTALLATION
Steel windows are suitable for fixing into all standard construction details. The perimeter section can be varied to suite all masonry and concrete wall construction details. More specialised construction including steel sub-frames can also be accommodated. Mechanical fixing via fixing lugs and dynabolts is most common. Where building construction is suitable dynabolt fixing through the perimeter frame is an option.
