Elegance 52 FR
Fire rated curtain walling
Elegance 52 FR has been designed to meet the demand for the protection of people and their possessions in and around buildings.
Elegance 52 FR description
- Based on the connection, drainage, clamping and capping principles of Elegance 52 ST, the Elegance FR solution is indistinguishable therefore providing continuity of appearance with non-fire rated elements, and affording the mixing of both solutions where partial compartmentation is required.
- A combination of intumescent strips, steel pressure plate clips, cooling materials and fire resistant glazing ensures EI 30 classification.
- Both integrity and insulation are provided by the system, which as a result means not only the fire itself, but also heat is kept outside for at least 30 minutes.
- Elegance 52 FR has been officially tested to EN 1364-3, EN 1363-1 and EN 1363-2 for both internal and external fire-exposure.
- It is clear that any adaptation to create fire resistance within the curtain wall will increase both the value and safety of the project.
System performance
Air Tightness
AE750
Air Tightness
Air tightness refers to the amount of air that will travel through a window or door system in its closed position, both under positive and negative pressure.
Water Tightness
RE750
Water Tightness
The test applies specified amounts of water spray to the outside face of the window (combination) while incrementally increasing the air pressure. The result defines the test pressure, time and position of any water infiltration.
Wind Resistance
3000 Pa
Wind Resistance
The test applies a series of positive and negative test air pressures. Measurements and inspections are made to asses relative frontal deflection and resistance to damage from wind loads.
Impact Resistance
I5 / E5
