TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

System:
Profile testing in accordance with RAL quality symbol G 716/1.

Material:
Multiple-chamber profile of hard PVC in accordance with DIN 7748, frame material accordance to DIN 4108, profile depth 70 mm, outer wall thickness 3 mm.

Reinforcement:
Galvanized steel, thickness 1.5 mm, in frame and sash in all window sizes.

Seals:
External seal and inside seal APTIK (EPDM)* material, continuously bonded: glass seal in the glass strip, miter cut from APTK (EPDM)*.

*APTIK - EPDM
The abbreviation APTK stands for ethylene propylene terpolymer rubber;the international name is EPDM (ethylene propylene dienne terpolymers).  The material has found more and more uses recently, including sealing elements for windows and doors.

Drainage:
Front chamber drainage is added according to regulations. The glass is also ventilated in a manner that allows it to retain its insulating properties.
