Alspec’s ThermAFrame Centre Pocket system is a versatile energy efficient Shopfront framing option that utilises the latest in European Polyamide Thermal Break technology.
Combined with Australian design principles this achieves the best possible results in energy rating in a system that is easy to fabricate and install. Its versatility allows countless specifications to be achieved, from standard shopfront applications, through to the most challenging structural and energy requirements. It has been designed to accommodate high performance double glazed units that can maximise the performance of the building envelope.
Available in two frame depths 101.6mm and 150mm x 60mm, ThermAFrame Centre Pocket allows architects to minimise the transfer of heat or cold across a window with a standard system. Glazing could not be simpler with the colour coded wedges from standard Alspec systems being utilised to deal with the many diverse glass options.
With the use of heavy duty mullions the ThermAFrame 150mm Centre Pocket System can allow heights to reach and surpass 4.5m depending upon wind loading conditions.
Subsills are recommended for optimum weathering with all ThermAFrame systems.
