Kestrel Aluminium Thermal Framing System - Aluminium thermal framing system

Kestrel Aluminium Systems Thermal Framing is designed to industry standards in the absence of a British Standard code. The system is based on a common box section size of 100 x 55 mm for double glazed options, with a three and four screw port feature for inherent strength. Construction consists of main vertical members with horizontal transoms spanning between. Framing profiles are square cut and assembled by driving screws into extruded receptacles in the corresponding section. All loads are transmitted to a supporting structure via purpose-designed fixings and fixing details. The framing is not self-supporting.

Infills of glass are glazed by shuffle glazing the infill into jamb glazing pockets. Cill and head beads snap-in internally or externally depending on the application to give a flush appearance.

Pivot, hinged and sliding doors can be constructed from the non-thermal door section range. Our window systems can also be used with the framing.

Consult the Kestrel Aluminium Systems Limited product manual for detailed installation instructions and contact our technical department for details of the maximum spans and loadings applicable to the site conditions.

Features and benefits:

• The system will accommodate a range of glazing thicknesses from 28 to 32 mm double glazed units.
• Glass is set dry between TPE gaskets internally and externally.
