100mm x 50mm Front Double Glazed

The Darley 100mm x 50mm Front Double Glazed framing system is compatible with Darley’s other residential and commercial window and door systems.

This system is ideally suited for shopping centres, offices, show rooms and commercial buildings. It is also widely used in high end residential developments and apartments.

It is widely used in commercial applications and has a wide range sun head and sub sill options available. Designed and engineered in Australia, the 100mm x 50mm Front Double Glazing framing system has been tested and exceeds Australian Standard AS2047.

Design Features:

Accepts glass thickness from 6mm-28mm
Compatible with other Darley Aluminium Commercial and Residential Systems
Self-draining transom

Accepts a variety of awning sash options
Accepts a variety of hinged and sliding door systems and sliding windows
Range of sub head and sub sill options
Range of heavy duty mullion options for tall framing and high wind areas

WERS Ratings

The Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) is accredited by the AFRC – which means that WERS ratings are compliant with the NCC.

Reports are prescribed both the window performance for total window U Value (Uw) and total window Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGCw).

U-value

U-value measures how well a product prevents heat from escaping.

It is a measure of the rate of non-solar heat loss or gain through a material or assembly.

U-value ratings generally fall between 2.0-10.0 W/m2.K for Australian products. The lower the U-value, the greater a window’s resistance to heat and cold flow and the better its insulating value.

Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient (SHGC)

SHGC measures how well a product blocks heat caused by sunlight. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower a window’s SHGC, the less solar heat it transmits.

Tested to AS2047

Under the Building Code of Australia, we are required to produce windows and doors that meet mandatory minimum specifications under Australian Standard (AS) 2047 – including AS1288.

Simulations of High Winds and Driving Rains

AS4420.2 Deflection Test – positive and negative wind pressures are applied to the face of the window to test the maximum deflection under wind load.
AS4420.5 Water Penetration Resistance Test – to verify that no water leaks through the window into the building.

Operating Force Requirement

AS4420.3 Operating Force Test – to verify that an opening sash is capable of opening and closing without undue effort.

Air Infiltration Pressure

AS4220.4 Air In filtration Test – the air leakage of a window is tested to ensure energy and acoustic efficiency.

Ultimate Strength Testing

AS4420.6 Ultimate Strength Test – negative and positive wind pressures are applied to the window to at least 1.5 times the design wind pressure to ensure it does not fail in unusual wind conditions.
