Forster thermfix light Sloped glazing insulated

Sloped glazing with attachment profiles FLEXIBLE, FAST, ECONOMICAL. The system offers great configuration flexibility to both planner and architect because of the unlimited choice in the sub-structures. Forster thermfix light makes it possible to mount a sealing system on commercially-available steel and aluminium profiles as well as on wooden sub-structures. The system is characterized by basic and quick processing allowing improved economics. The advantages of the system • Controlled rain and condense water ducts through overlapping inner seals at the crossing and end-points of the rafters and mullions • Controlled ventilation and drainage of the glass rebates • Continuous screw mounting strip: free positioning of the fixing screws. • Functional outer weatherstripping system: two component seals in an aluminium press bar, crossing points sealed with inserts. • High degree of freedom of sizes and weights of filling elements as the glass carrier pads are laid out to meet the requirements of the specific type of construction. • Hidden or visible screw-fastened pressure strips can be used in the rafter and transom area. • Welded or clipped sub-structure • Combination with existing vertical facade system Forster thermfix light • High structural performance figures certified • Due to the use of a rebate space insulator, highly thermally insulated overhead glazing can be achieved
