Nature's design "patents" form the basis of innovative high-tech systems using the absolute minimum of material even for the framing of large glazing areas. Systems that can open up a world of creative freedom to designers of transparent metal glass structures. Whether facades or roof glazing, doors, partitions or windows - the perfectly coordinated SS-RP systems lends itself to the most unusual and individual design solutions. Streamlined fabrication, high durability and energy effectiveness combine to make the SS-RP system particularly economical - and safe. Steel and stainless steel are materials that meet all requirements of stability, smoke and fire protection, thermal and noise insulation and protection against burglary as well as the opportunity to create dramatic effects. With its outstanding insulating properties - 1.3 W/m² K - the SS-RP system optimally fulfills all the legal requirements concerning lagging and saving energy. The value for the whole element lies well below 1.7 W/(m2 K) and is clearly better than bridged steel systems During the fabrication of the 6 m long sandwich profiles the external and internal stainless steel shells are connected to a FFC-free polyurethane thermal insulating block. This connection is made under high pressure and a relatively high temperature. The resulting massive and solid thermal insulating block has already all the functional profile grooves necessary for seals and fittings. Finally, the stainless steel surfaces are polished. The cost-saving processing of the profiles to finished elements described is just one of the many advantages the system has. The assembly of the door and window profiles to make frame elements is extremely easy and quick, as no special machines or assembly tools are required. The problem free assembly of the profiles using corner-connectors (no pressure or bolts) and easy fixing of the hardware directly into the polyurethane block result in low fabrication costs of the system. The L-shaped corner-connectors are simply inserted into the predrilled holes in the PU-block. The angle cut is coated with a polyurethane adhesive and then fixed with clamps whilst drying. Because the adhesive is applied to the full surface (not just the steel shells), the corner-connection is extremely tight and perfectly aligned. Typical labour-intensive work on stainless steel frames, such as grinding of corner joints or finished surfaces, do not have to be carried out with the SS-RP system. The finish is carried out on 6 m long profiles before they are cut, and all joints are fitted cleanly. |
