Platform on window, door, frame technology, hardware, roof and facade technology, security
To guarantee everyone maximum security in terms of stability, building elements with Stadur's FrameTec frame extensions, SFS screws and fixing brackets and Schüco's Living 82 window profiles were subjected to a series of tests. These elements were successfully tested according to ift standard MO-02/1 2015-06 and ETB standard 1985-06. Other tests demonstrated excellent tightness with a class 4 air permeability according to DIN EN 12207 and a class A9 impact rain density according to DIN EN 12208.
"With this we meet the demand from architects, engineers and construction companies for test results from independent laboratories," says John Thume, product manager FrameTec and ProfileTec at Stadur. "We note that floor structures in buildings are increasingly taller and, as a result, in rooms where windows reach to the floor, one must also install taller sill profiles. However, the connection of several profiles acts statically as a hinge. The Stadurlon FrameTec frame extensions offer a solution. These sandwich elements are characterized by a bending strength of more than 3.1 Mpa and an excellent pull-out value vertically up to 6310 N and horizontally up to 2815 N. This ensures a precise and flush connection for each profile. "
The tests also showed that the system solution with FrameTec perfectly meets current and future thermal insulation requirements.
"Airtightness is crucial for low energy buildings and passive building projects, both in new construction and renovation. Cold bridges must therefore be avoided at all times. Stadur offers solutions, which perfectly meet the increasingly stringent thermal insulation requirements, to prevent thermal and cold bridges between windows and the building envelope in the case of frame widening, the installation of roller shutter boxes and the connection of window sills (FrameTec) as well as in the case of Lift&Slide systems, tall windows and the installation of sills (ProfileTec)," states Marc Nickel, Sales Manager Construction for Germany and the Benelux at Stadur.
"Both products are available in different heights up to 500 mm and in lengths up to 7000 mm. In addition to excellent thermal insulation, these developments offer many other advantages. For example, the material absorbs almost no water (< 1.5 %) and is completely rot-free. The panels are also light, which improves handling, and they can withstand loads of over 1000 kg/lm. They can be easily attached without special tools, pre-drilling or doweling."
Flexibility and design freedom are also top priorities for FrameTec and ProfileTec sandwich elements. This is ensured by the outer layers made of Stadurlon plastic, 2 mm thick, which are available in different color shades. The high-performance Stadurlon plastic, a development in cooperation with BASF, is produced at Stadur's plant in Karstädt/Brandenburg, specifically equipped for the extrusion of plastic panels. This plastic can be used at a temperature of -20° C to +120° C. Between the outer layers, in addition to extruded polystyrene foam, there is a special layer of StadurFoam. On request, these solutions can also be supplied in a different thickness and with a different finish, for example with a wood decor or aluminum. The StadurFoam core can be variably positioned, allowing the assembly to be adapted for screwing on the different types of profile systems."
