New lower sill ensures optimum wind and water tightness for lift-slide systems

HAUTAU guarantees the optimal sealing of the plastic lift-slide system ATRIUM^® HS through the combination with the high-quality lower sill ATRIUM^® HS ThermoTop^® 2.2. Indeed, the adjustments of the sill ensure a close constructional connection. They simplify installation and ensure a professional and reliable sealing of the building envelope.

Professional sealing of the building envelope is extremely important. A facade made of masonry or insulating composite panels, new construction or renovation - the interplay between building envelope, frame, sill and drainage system is always highly complex. The connection depends on the facade system used and the installation method. Elements in the building envelope are subject to special and extreme loads due to moisture, such as driving rain, splashing and dew water and humidity. The combination of window, sealing and drainage presents architects with specific challenges in every project. This requires intelligent, coordinated system solutions. The connection must be made with the utmost care to ensure a sustainable building envelope.

A reliable connection solution

The high-quality ATRIUM threshold^® HS ThermoTop^® 2.2 ensures a proper and competent connection to the building envelope and that in all possible situations. Indeed, this advanced solution was developed in close collaboration with experts in drainage and sealing. Perfectly matched components ensure long-term reliability in terms of tightness. To meet standards and guidelines, integrated additional profiles provide an optimized adhesive surface of more than 50 mm as well as the best tightness and easy installation. The openings for drainage are punched in the workshop. Wide profiles with a depth of 20, 50 and 90 mm provide an aesthetic transition to the water drains, the awnings, insect screens or outdoor blinds.
