Application

Adaptable to any new construction project from two storeys upwards. The system is ideal for fast-track installation where safe methods of work are required.

Description

An alternative to the AA®201 structurally glazed system, the AA®265 is a dry-glazed solution, incorporating a three-chamber system and overlapping gasket design for optimum weathertightness. Advantages include factory fabrication to ensure additional quality control and rapid on-site installation, as well as slimline design and flexibility. In addition, if limited access during installation is required, the system can be installed, under restricted working conditions, with the building remaining occupied. Weathering is achieved by zone-drained pressure equalization.

The product provides a positive weather seal and thermal break for high performance. It can accommodate spandrel infill materials, including glass, stone and metal panels, and is adaptable to any new construction project from two storeys upwards.
