250mm x 60mm Front Double Glazed Commercial Framing

The new 250mm x 60mm front double-glazed commercial framing system offers superior strength and high frame heights of 6000mm.

Ideal for commercial and high-end residential applications such as showrooms, offices, shopping centres, and other commercial buildings. This 250mm commercial framing system is versatile and high-performing and can achieve strength ratings of 2250Pa and a water penetration rating of 800Pa.

Designed and engineered in Australia, it is also compatible with a variety of other Darley commercial window and door systems.

Design Features:

Ideal for large spans
Accepts a glass thickness of 20mm to 44mm
Tested to an overall unit height of 6000mm
High water resistance with a water rating of 800Pa
Compatible with Darley’s other commercial framing systems
Tested to AS2047 Windows & External Glazed Doors and AS4284 Testing of Building Facades

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.
