Glass
A grade safety glass to AS1288 is used in all Aluflam glass structures. Two or more layers of specially
toughened safety glass is laminated with intumescent gel that provides thermal protection.
For exterior installations a double glazed unit with 6mm
toughed low-E glass is used to provide higher comfort
levels and also protection of the intumecent gels from
elevated temperatures.
For exterior installations a double glazed unit with 6mm toughed low-E glass is used to provide higher
comfort levels and also protection of the intumecent gels from elevated temperatures.
The AW60 system can support larger glasses thickness including triple glazed up to 90mm thick.
Refer to our Glass page for details.
Finishes
Aluflam can supply a number of factory applied finishes including.
- Anodising
- Polyester power coating Refer to our Metal Finishes datasheet for details.
Sidelites and Transoms
The Aluflam AW60 Shop Front framing systems can be framed in modular sections up to a maximum of 5.6m wide
x 5.6m high. It is recommended to limit each frame construction to 3m wide x 3m high for ease of shipping,
handling and installation.
Transoms can be incorporated into the frame to reduce the glass pane size.
Each frame system can be connected to itself to construct a larger wall construction. For large butt joint
installations, the frame can be assembled during installation.
Doors
AF70 and AF91 single and double doors can be installed into an opening in an AW60 Shop Front.
Butt Joint Glazing
For a seemless glass look, fire rated glass can be installed without mullions up to 60 minute fire rating.
The vertical glass joint is sealed with black fire rated silicone.
Installation
When installing in a masonry wall the opening needs to be 20-30mm wider and 20-30mm higher than the AF70
frame.
The gap between the AF70 frame and the masonry wall is to be fire stopped with mineral wool (100kg/m³) and
silicone sealant.
Curtain wall installation brackets can be used instead of direct fixing through the frame.
Mainteance
As a fire door it must be inspected annually in accordance with AS1851 by a competent person checking the
operation, tolerances, integrity of the glass and seals. Full details are in the standard.
