SLIDING WINDOWS
Sliding window is both functional and durable The ultimate low maintenance window style due to few moving parts, the sliding window is a classic design that will suit architectural styles.
Aluminum sliding windows are a superb choice for quick and effective ventilation They are non-projecting, sliding windows can be fitted with exterior security screens or fly screens.
CASEMENT WINDOWS
Casement windows effectively ventilate any location they're applied to, thanks to their typical side-hinged positioning. Incredibly adaptable, casement windows can also be hinged to open out from the top or bottom of the window frame; AKA 'awning windows' (top opening) and 'hopper windows' (bottom opening).
TURN AND TILT WINDOW
Tilt and turn windows are versatile and are a flexible "double operation style window" The tilt function offers a way to get secure ventilation, the turn function makes cleaning windows above ground floor very easy. These types of windows are particularly useful when conventional outward opening windows are not possible or advisable. This could be when windows are on the ground floor and would open onto a street or pathway, or applications where external shutters are being used.
As the windows open inwards they can easily be cleaned from inside and makes fire egress second to none, with the correct size opening.
Tilt and turn windows have gearing that generally run around the perimeter of the sash. This means the openings can be much bigger than conventional casement windows, and it is possible to manufacture the windows to door size!
SLIDING AND FOLDING DOOR
A world-class highly non- insulated folding door system with bottom-slide operation, which combines minimal aesthetics with outstanding performance, very large dimensions with literally low sight lines, enhanced burglar protection with a very large variety of solutions.
A specially engineered multi-slide door system which incorporates a European inspired design and hardware set. Operation of the Lift and Slide door system and the track options define the overall description. With the use of a large leverage handle, the operator engages a double v-gasket seal at the top and bottom of the door by turning the handle to lock the door.
The Lift and Slide panels use their own weight to compress the seals thus creating a completely weather-tight wall system when in the “down” position. When in the “up” position, the panels which weigh 200 pounds or more, are easily moved with a few pounds of pressure.
Façade or curtain wall is a building envelope creates pleasure aesthetic to the building exterior. These are aluminium framed, the non-load bearing system which are hanging from the floor slabs and columns. The curtain wall construction is classified as two as stick system and unitized system.
STICK SYSTEM: This is mostly adopted in low rise and mid-rise buildings. In this system, most of the erection and fabrication are done at the site. In cases where the wall configuration seems as complex and having more corners and drastic changes in the plane, the stick system would be more economical.
Curtain walls can be defined as non-structural aluminum-framed walls, containing infills of glass, thin stone, or metal panels that are connected back to the building structure. There are two main categories of curtain walls: unitized curtain walls and stick-built systems. So how do you know which one is right for your building?
Unitized curtain systems are composed of large glass units that are created and glazed within a factory and then sent to the construction site. Once on site, the units can then be hoisted onto anchors connected to the building. High quality, due to tight tolerances of fabrication in a climate-controlled environment, is only one hallmark of this type of system. Since there is no on-site glazing, another major benefit of using a unitized system is the speed of installation.
The system can be installed in a third of the time of a stick-built system. This system is well suited for cases where there is a large volume of prefabricated unitized panels required, where there are higher field labor costs (thereby shifting the labor to a more cost-effective factory work force), where higher performance is needed (for wind loads, air/moisture protection, seismic/blast performance), for taller structures, and more regular conditions for panel optimization.
If your project doesn’t suit most of the criteria for a unitized system, your other option is to use a stick-built system. The vast majority of low to mid-rise curtain walls are installed in this way. Long pieces of aluminum (hence the name stick) are inserted between floors vertically and horizontally between vertical members to support and transfer the load of the glass back to structure. Most of the erection and glazing for a stick-built system is done on site. One of the benefits of stick-built systems is its economic friendliness for facades that have lower required volumes and many complicated conditions.
The lead times for these types of systems are often much shorter for fabricated materials to be delivered to the site and allow for less up front staging. This is shorter in comparison to a unitized system, where six months to a year can be required for this process. However, the trade-off is that the installation takes longer to complete on-site. You also need a significant amount of space for installation and storage of material on the site, which can be difficult in many high-traffic cities with tight job sites.
