4 System introduction Sliding windows and fixed glass panels Sky Frame Glass from floor to ceiling and from wall to wall, fixed or sliding windows Sky-Frame, the high-tech frameless window makes it possible, opens areas up to four meters high, and fulfills the highest standards and all current building standards. Sky-Frame eliminates boundaries between the indoors and outdoors, between living areas and nature with its slim mullions (20 mm) and this at maximized heat insulation in accordance with the Swiss MINERGIE standard. For example, insulation values of up to U w =0.7 W/m 2 K (SIA) and U w =0.8 W/m 2 K (EN) can be achieved with insulation glass of U g =0.5 W/m 2 K! The aluminium system developed and in production in Switzerland is internationally renowned. With it, more than projects were completed and various competitions were won to date. Design and functionality Sky-Frame is the synthesis of high technology, design and functionality. The filigree mullions contain state-of-the-art technology, from the invisible lock with superior burglary protection to a maximized thermal separation up to a sophisticated, stabilizing design of the aluminum profiles. The latter is a prerequisite for optimal structural statics to prevent glass breakage and water penetration, even in extreme situations. An invisibly integrated electric drive opens the moving elements by pressing a button when desired. Sky-Frame stands for the highest standards of aesthetics in architecture and building physics.

5 System introduction Technology Technology The Sky-Frame sliding window with its thermally completely separated panels moves extremely smoothly on running gears - made of stainless steel - on rollers in two to four easy-to-clean tracks. The extruded aluminium multi-chamber profiles accommodate seals and additional profiles in special grooves. Glass-fibre reinforced polyamide bars provide a perfect thermal insulation of the tracks. All aluminum profiles can be anodized or powder coated at the customer's request. Glass fibre reinforced epoxy resin profiles (GRP) surrounding the glass panel form the actual frame and simultaneously reinforce the glass edge seal. Filigree aluminium mullions attached on the vertical GRP profiles secure the removal of the wind loads on even the largest surfaces. These will be reinforced by carbon fibre (CFK) or steel inserts, if necessary. Tempered safety glass with a heat soak test (TSG-H) rules out the risk of glass breakage caused by heat and thermal shock. The optional use of laminated safety glass (LSG) increases the burglary protection and provides anti-fall protection at the window. The bottom track is generally installed threshold-free. It has an integrated drainage level, which leads to a recessed system gutter or drains under a wooden grate outside the building seal, even during the heaviest rainfall. Tests Test certificates by various institutes (EMPA, ift Rosenheim, Biel University of Applied Sciences, Munich University of Applied Sciences) attest to Sky-Frame's compliance with important standards for thermal insulation, resistance to driving rain, wind resistance, anti-fall protection and burglary protection Page

6 System introduction Sky-Frame 2 / Sky-Frame 3 System comparison Sky-Frame is available in two product lines since early 2010 consisting of the successful product Sky-Frame 2 and the newly developed system Sky-Frame 3. Sky-Frame 2 with double insulating glass (2-IG) already provides very good insulation values. Sky-Frame 3 is characterized by an equally filigree design such as Sky-Frame 2. An even better thermal insulation is achieved by using triple-glazed panes of insulating glass (3-IG) with a U g value up to 0.5 W/m 2 K. Sky-Frame 3 sliding windows can therefore also be used in the passive house area and were certified as MINERGIE module windows. Sky-Frame 2 Sky-Frame 3 Glass 30 mm Glass 54 mm The new sliding window generation Sky Frame 3 is sustainable, in that it already covers future requirements of climatic and environmental protection today while maintaining the architectural effect. Properties Sky Frame 2 Sky Frame 3 U w calculation (WxH 4.6x3m) according to (SIA 331) (EN 10077) (SIA 331) (EN 10077) Thermal transmittance (Glass U g =1.1) U w = 1.26 W/m 2 K 1.38 W/m 2 K - - Thermal transmittance (Glass U g =1.0) U w = 1.17 W/m 2 K 1.28 W/m 2 K - - Thermal transmittance (Glass U g =0.7) U w = W/m 2 K 1.0 W/m 2 K Thermal transmittance (Glass U g =0.5) U w = W/m 2 K 0.83 W/m 2 K Sliding panels (max.

7 System introduction Thermal separation Thermal separation The consistent thermal separation guarantees the highest thermal insulation values. The middle bar, which essentially consists of polyamide, connects the inner and the outer aluminum shell torsion free and keeps them thermally separated at the same time. The aluminum cover of the middle bar is interrupted in the area of the mullions and is thermally separated and sealed by a special insert. The U-profiles made from glass-fibre reinforced epoxy resin, which are attached all around the glass, optimally insulate the glass edge. Building connections Sky-Frame can fully utilize its advantages due to perfect building physical solutions for the integration in the construction. A selective mounting system that does not impair the insulation, is therefore used instead of a continuous substructure in the base area. This reliably prevents the development of condensation at this point Page

8 Properties Thermal insulation and climate protection Thermal insulation and climate protection Creating comfort and providing a lasting contribution to climate protection both must be considered in the era of climate change. The heat loss is extremely reduced even in winter temperatures by using highly insulating glass. An additional reduction in the heating costs is simultanely achieved by the passive use of solar energy. Sky-Frame therefore closes the gap between comfort and environmental awareness. The new, highly insulated system Sky-Frame 3 meets the requirements as MINERGIE module window and received the certificate as the first metal sliding window. The excellent thermal insulation and air tightness values are thereby officially confirmed. Energy efficient refurbishment With the replacement of an old window front (U g = 3.3 W/m 2 K) by a Sky-Frame 3 sliding window (U g = 0.7 W/m 2 K), about liters of fuel oil, or more than 3 tons of CO 2 per year are saved (reference = 40m²) Page

9 Properties Sound insulation Sound insulation Noise has become an omnipresent health-hazard, particularly in urban locations or in the proximity of railways, roads and airports. Sound can only be stopped by special soundproof glass and sealed frame structures. The sound energy can be reduced by a factor of at a reduction of 30 db. Sky-Frame 2 is equipped with special seals in the noise protection version. The sound insulation values of various glass were tested in the laboratory of EMPA Dübendorf according to standards EN ISO and EN ISO Sound Glossary R w,p,glass = Test value of the pane in standard format in the laboratory R w = rated sound reduction, measured in the EMPA laboratory using a window with a standard measurement (1.23x1.48m) C = Spectrum adjustment value for the following sound sources: Residential activities, rail traffic, motor-way, children's games C tr = Spectrum adjustment value (increased requirement) for the following sound sources: Aircraft noise, disco music, urban road traffic The assessed sound reduction measurement will be reduced by one of the two spectrum adjustment values depending on the situation.

10 Properties Burglary protection Burglary protection Sky-Frame offers the following options to increase the burglary protection: Electronic measures Three security-related information items can be electronically retrieved and transferred to a burglar alarm with the Sky-Frame alarm sensors, which are invisibly integrated in the frame: - Position monitoring (slider open/closed) - Deadbolt monitoring (lock open/locked) - Glass breakage sensor (alarm loop) Mechanical measures Even the standard model of Sky-Frame offers excellent burglary protection - including the system-based bonding of the GRP profiles with insulating glass and multipoint locking. In order to further increase the burglary protection, Sky- Frame uses special laminated glass, reinforced frame profiles and additional fittings for the multi-point locking integrated in the slim profile. It is operated by the same shapely handles, into which an additional locking cylinder is installed. The ift-rosenheim certifies Sky-Frame 2 as having an approved burglary protection up to 4m with these additional components: Resistance class WK2 (RC2) (EN 356 and EN V ) All fittings and components used to increase the burglary protection adjust to the filigree design without affecting the aesthetics Page

11 Properties Anti-fall protection Anti-fall protection Unlike balustrade windows, floor to ceiling glass windows on the upper floors must guarantee the anti-fall protection. Sky-Frame uses an anti-fall insulating glass combination of laminated safety glass and tempered safety glass with heat soak test, starting on the first floor. Using this anti-fall glass, Sky-Frame 2 was tested by the Munich University of Applied Sciences and has been certified the anti-fall protection in compliance with TRAV/TRLV to the overall system (category A). This test also covers partially open systems. A wing can therefore also be opened 11 cm without any anti-fall components for ventilation purposes (with included opening limiter). Sky-Frame all-glass balustrades A prerequisite for the anti-fall protection on terraces and balconies is a balustrade. The Sky-Frame all-glass balustrade meets this requirement and uses a heavy-duty, anti-fall glass without an interrupting handrail (without a handrail only permitted in Switzerland). The resulting, largely invisible glass strip transitions seamlessly into the Sky-Frame glass, provides unrestricted views and additionally fulfills the aspect of total security. The glass is held by an especially developed substructure, which offers the possibility of numerous building connection options. The Munich University of Applied Sciences confirms the compliance with the requirements according to TRAV/TRLV (category B) for the all-glass balustrade with a 2 cm thin handrail attachment profile Page

12 Properties No threshold No threshold Measures necessary for proper building physical construction of a threshold-free detail are implemented in the sophisticated Sky-Frame bottom detail without compromise. The drainage level with a reliable outward water drainage is integrated in the profile. The bottom profile provides a large surface for a safe application of sealing sheets. This detail, which is met by the Swiss standard SIA 271, secures the rapid and controlled drainage of even the heaviest rain volume. Consistent thermal separation of warm/cold shells by the optimal placement and development of the polyamide middle bar. Various system gutters with stainless steel covers. Easy to clean, without deep ditches or tracks. Barrier-free construction Smooth transitions and barrier-free accessibility are nonage related characteristics in the construction. The barrier-free accessibility standard in the building according to standard DIN has an increasing significance alone in view of the increasing proportion of elderly in the population. A single sliding wing already provides a passage width of up to 2.3 meters, and therefore also provides sufficient room to move for accompanied wheelchair users. The electric drive is an additional convenience feature for this target group. It is used in retirement and nursing homes with great success. Be it wheelchair or pram - threshold-free details provide maximum mobility Page

13 Properties Electric drive Electric drive Sky-frame sliding windows can be equipped with an invisible built-in electric drive in the top profile upon request. The wings are moved using a special gear-belt drive integrated in the frame. The wings are automatically unlocked when opened and re-locked when closed. The start-up and maintenance of the drive module are carried out directly through the frame profile. Maintenance openings with ugly covers in the ceiling are not required. The powered sliding windows are generally positioned on the inner tracks. Operation The entire system and corners open up variably by pressing a button providing unique operating convenience. This is provided by a so called dead man's switch, which means that the wing moves only while the button is pressed. Controlling via a remote control with an active infrared monitoring system is also possible as an option. Depending on the pressure sequence, the wings can be opened and closed individually or all at once. Manual operation is possible irrespective of the drive. The opening option is thereby guaranteed at any time, even at power failures. Opening possibilities In addition to the classic single wing opening, it is also possible to move several wings together. Middle or corner openings can be made, also as telescopic corner opening with 2+2 wings. A length of more than 9 metres can therefore be opened at once, with the push of only one button! Page

14 Properties Ventilation and insect protection Ventilation and insect protection When airing during the summer, doors are usually open for insects not with Sky-Frame. Trickle vent The trickle vent is already integrated as a standard function. The sliding elements are locked in place at a second locking position where continuous exchange of air is provided. The still interlocking profiles ensure that neither rain nor unwanted visitors can enter. Night ventilation In order to safely ventilate on facades without balustrades, there is a night ventilation gap with an integrated opening limiter. The opening of the sliding window is limited to 11 cm in order to guarantee the anti-fall protection and prevent unwanted access. This version is ideal for the airing of children's rooms or bedrooms and is provided with an additional insect screen, upon request. Insect screens The latest development is an insect screen that can be pulled out sidewards of the wall. It offers the possibility to use a sliding element hidden in the wall as a large-scale, insect-free vent opening. When closed, it is invisible due to the recessed mounting in the wall. The insect screen can be used up to a height of 2.75 m and a passage width up to 2 m, is continuously extendable and does not require a bottom track. The flowing space and the barrier-free accessibility therefore are maintained. It is the perfect insect screen, also for patio doors Page

15 Sustainability Quality Maintenance Sky-frame sliding windows are maintenance free. The functionality remains for a long time due to the stainless steel guide track and the dirt-repellent running gear. Commercial glass cleaning products can be used for cleaning the glass. Due to the centralised production with externally monitored quality assurance and our continuously trained sales partners a consistently top quality of all products will be guaranteed. Within the scope of the approval for CE labeling, numerous tests were performed in accordance with applicable product and testing standards.

21 Sky-Frame 2+3 U w value tables Definitions U w value The following tables show the calculated U w values (thermal transmittance coefficient of the overall window) of some two-panel elements in various sizes with different glass types. These values are calculated from the thermal transmittance coefficient of the glass (U g ) and the frame (U f ). They are related to size (see table). In order to show that the total U w value hardly changes in other combinations, comparison calculations are located on page Sky-Frame 2 Double insulating glass (2-IG), d=30 mm to U g =1.0 W/m 2 K Sky-Frame 3 Triple-glazed panes of insulating glass (3-IG), d=54 mm to U g =0.5 W/m 2 K EN U w values calculated according to standard EN (1+2), take into account the gross surface area - that is the entire frame (see back). This value, for example, must be consulted for MINERGIE verifications and in the EU. Isotherms The isothermal curves illustrate the temperature characteristics of the window structure. The isotherms shown in this chapter were created at the following general conditions: Indoor temperature = 20 C Outside temperature = -10 C Page

26 Sky-Frame 2+3 Structural statics tables Principles Profile dimensions The profile dimensions are based on the following influence factors: Element height, effective width, wind load Effective width The effective width, which the wind affects, is combined from half the left and right field width. The effective width (axis-axis) for symmetric field widths equals one wing width. Wind loads The tables show graphs for four wind loads: q = 0.5 kn/m 2 q = 0.9 kn/m 2 q = 1.3 kn/m 2 q = 2.0 kn/m 2 The actual wind loads must be clarified in advance and specified precisely in the order! They are dependent on the wind zone, depending on the building location, the terrain situation, building height, building form and the building situation. Profile selection The following applies for the profile type selection: Wing sizes that are below the corresponding profile type curve meet the structural statics requirements. Sliding elements up to a max. width of 2.3m are possible (up to 8 m 2 ), fixed elements up to 3.2m. The designation "+CFK means that the profile combination is reinforced with additional carbon fibre strips and can therefore resist higher wind loads. Note The structural statics diagrams do not replace the projectspecific structural statics calculations! The country-specific standards apply Page
