Lüdenscheid, Germany, 14 January 2005. Shock ventilation is still a topic of current interest, for example in schools, and with it the subject of horizontally pivot-hung windows. According to a study carried out by the Institut für Fenstertechnik in Rosenheim in Germany, these windows are also very popular for house building, as so-called “flower windows”.
At BAU 2005, Hueck/Hartmann will be presenting a new type of horizontally pivot-hung window with a maximum width of 2.20 m and maximum height of 1.50 m; alternatively it can be used for a maximum height of 1.90 m and a maximum width of 2.00 m. The maximum permitted weight of the sash is 150 kg.
The design is based on Hueck’s sash profile 510231, which has a profile depth of 79.5 mm and is insulated with Hueck PA foam laminate. Together with the exchangeable profile 510232, which is also thermally insulated, the sash can be installed in the profile of the new window and can be combined with nearly all frame profiles or transom/glazing-bar profiles from the Hueck 1.0 series.
High-quality EPDM gaskets ensure that there is a reliable seal between the sash and exchangeable profile and the frame. At the bottom, the exchangeable profile is fitted into the frame as a U shape, whereas at the top it is slid over the sash profile and then screwed into place. At both the top and the bottom, the U frame is anchored additionally in the corners using angle brackets, which are prepared ready for subsequent adhesive bonding.
In addition to the practice-oriented system concept, Hueck/Hartmann offers the fabricator a range of suitable erection aids that contribute to the fabrication being carried out speedily and successfully.
