General information

Color	- Manufacturer guidance Available in a wide range of colours.
Finish	Matt Anodized Gloss
Material	Wood Guidance for specification option: Timber frame internally The timber used in the manufacture is supplied from FSC-certified North European coniferous trees from selected sawmills with sustainable forest management. The proportion of heartwood is at least 60% for exterior rebates and surfaces. In general, knots and small cracks are cut off and the wood finger-jointed. However, minor knots will be permitted. All softwood sections are laminated and their edges rounded. Aluminium Guidance for specification option: Aluminium cladding externally Since the external aluminium cladding functions solely as a climate envelope, it does not form part of the sealing face. The cladding is attached using plastic clips to ensure the necessary draining and ventilation of the wood components. 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. Insulating glass units conform to: BS 952 Glass for glazing – Part 1: Classification. BS EN 572 Glass in building – Basic soda lime silicate glass products – Part 2: Float glass. BS EN 12150 Glass in building – Thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass – Part 1: definition and description. BS EN ISO 12543 Glass in building – Laminated safety glass. BS EN 12600 Specification for impact performance. BS EN 1279 Glass in building – Insulating glass units. BS 6262 Code of practice for glazing for buildings.
