101.6mm x 50mm Centre Double Glazed

The Darley 101.6mm x 50mm Centre double glazed framing system offers a high level of structure performance. This framing system can incorporate: hinged and sliding door, sliding windows and a variety of awning and casement windows.

It also has a self-draining transom and is compatible with Darley’s other residential and commercial window and door systems.

The 101.6mm x 50mm centre double glazed framing system has undergone stringent Australian Standards testing at an independent NATA approved laboratory.

Design Features:

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

Accepts a variety of hinged and sliding door systems, as well as sliding and awning window systems
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.
