OVERVIEW: GlazeGuard® 1000 is a composite panel made by laminating either textured or smooth aluminum skins (or porcelain enamel steel) to tempered hardboard substrates. These stabilizers surround a core of expanded polystyrene or polyisocyanurate foam. Panels are furnished with a strippable film (or interleafed microfoam) on the painted surfaces to protect the finish during shipment and installation. GlazeGuard® 1000 is installed in aluminum glazing/storefront channels (typically on setting blocks) and sealed using gaskets. No mechanical fasteners or adhesives are used in the installation of the panel.
BASIC USES & APPLICATIONS: As an alternative or complement to glass, GlazeGuard® panels provide an excellent choice for use as glazing infill, spandrel panels, modesty screens, and railing inserts. These panels are typically used on various types of buildings including schools and universities, retail complexes, storefront conditions etc... However, with an impact resistant composition and a foam core GlazeGuard® 1000 panels are ideal for any other application where increased thermal properties, durability and safety are concerns.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS: GlazeGuard® panels are designed to be installed in glazing channels or other similar type channels where all four edges are sealed. The panels are not eligible for use as a wall cladding or system. No moldings are available with GlazeGuard® panels.
SYSTEM FINISHES: GlazeGuard® 1000 panels are available with either smooth or textured prefinished aluminum or porcelain enamel steel skins. Standard colors in textured skins are offered with a coil coated polyester. Premium colors are also available with an acrylic urethane coating. Smooth standard and metallic colors are furnished with a durable Kynar 500® coating. Anodized finishes are also standard. Whether smooth or textured, both finishes can be ordered in custom colors to match customers’ standard. Porcelain enamel steel is available in both standard and premium colors.
