For Long Lasting, Draft-free Windows

The facade of a building is strongly influenced by its colours, the materials and the aesthetics of the chosen window system.  Whichever style, a window must always be able to withstand the harsh conditions with which it may be exposed to, such as, strong winds at great heights, vibrations, noise, heat and other elements of the environment.

We feature a wide range of window gaskets and weatherstripping in our lines for glazing, middle and sash weatherstripping and weatherseals.  They can be used with PVC, wood and aluminum windows, doors and gates.

Specially developed cross-sections provide permanent protection between the window and adjacent components and between the casement sash and frame.  They also allow for rapid dry glazing to be carried out.

• Proven Durability - the sealing gasket and weatherstripping for PVC, wood and aluminum windows and curtainwalls.

Our products, for plastic (PVC) and vinyl windows are the one step solution for tight fitting joints.

The gasket and weatherstrip can be inserted by hand or by machine in a wrap around fashion to ensure fully enclosed corners and a continuous band of insulation.

• Adaptability - the key to sealing aluminum windows.

For thermal and noise insulation reasons, aluminum windows and window elements typically use multi-layered constructions of different rubber mixtures.  By linking the sealing profile and the sealing frame, our product offers a practical and economical solution for sealing and weatherstripping aluminum window units.

• Simplicity - dry glazing system for wooden windows.

By targeting greater safety and efficient working we recommend the use of a dry glazing system for wood windows.  Without the need for a silicone sealant, the process represents an intelligent alternative to conventional "wet" glazing techniques.  The rubber used combines a long service life with major functionality.

• Coatings as Effective Assembly Aids.

Assembly is made much easier with a Lubricating Varnish coating for window weatherstripping, making conventional gliding redundant.  This Lubricating Varnish coating provides a permanent and defined gliding quality for installed weatherstripping and seals.  This new type of colourless and clear polymer coating is also an assembly aid for rubber seals.  It is suited for Plexiglas and Macrolon and can be used with self-cleaning glasses such as Pilkington-Activ-TM.  Both kinds of coatings have noticeable benefits in comparison to the previous form of siliconizing.

BENEFITS:

• clean working without smearing

• the hardened film always remains on the surface of the gasket and weatherstripping

• the treated rubber profiles have a colour-depth look

• this gliding film does not migrate or creep onto the bordering surfaces
