• Maximum panel height: 3000 mm (2700 mm for systems with opening panel).

• Maximum panel weight: 90 kg.

• Maximum glass/ infill weight: 20 kg/m².

• Horizontal division bars are recommended for heights ≥2550 mm.

• Wind and impact loads may limit the panel size.

• Special sizes are available on request. Refer to technical literature for panel size diagrams.
