  • The aluminium alloy must be EN AW-6060 or EN AW-6063 in accordance with EN 755-2.
  • Aluminium glazing beads are polyester powder-coated to a coating thickness of 60-120 microns, standard gloss 30.

Glass

Guidance for specification option:

Two choices of Insulating glass units: 32 mm or 52 mm. Toughened/ laminated glass where required, allowing for 6.8 mm laminate where secured by design is required.
