Thermaframe 8
Previously Therm VIG
Product description
Leverages Vacuum Insulated Glazing (VIG) for low to mid-rise buildings that require exceptional thermal performance, but do not need Passive House certification.
Features and benefits
- Ultra-high thermal performance
- R8 Overall, frame and glass (0.70 W/m2·K/0.12 Btu/ft2·F)
- Exclusively triple-glazed
- Improved thermal comfort for occupants and tenants
- Fully-captured (pressure plates on all four sides of glass) for optimal wind load resistance, dead load capacity, and air/water penetration resistance
- Available with two-sided structural silicone exterior finish (vertical or horizontal)
- Compatible with operable vents
- Tested to ASTM, CSA, AAMA, CAN/ULC, and NFPA requirements
- Manufactured, fabricated, and designed in Canada
-
- Thermal: R8 Overall, frame and glass (0.70 W/m2·K/0.12 Btu/ft2·F)
- Wind load:
- 2.5m (h) x 2.0m (w) at 1.5 kPa with 6″ back section: 1.5m (w) x 4.7m (h) frame size with 1.5kPa
-
- Fire-tested option available (CAN and US)
-
- Fibreglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) back body
- Fibreglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) pressure plate
- Aluminum anodized snap cap (vanity cap)
- Extruded silicone or EPDM gaskets
- EPDM corner blocks
- PVC anti-rotation (spacer) channels
- Aluminum spigots (T-connectors)
- Steel reinforcing members as required
- (Optional) Structural silicone joint on two sides of glass
-
- Back body (interior) paint colours: White, light grey, dark grey as standard. Custom paint finishes available
- Snap cap (exterior): Clear anodized aluminum as standard. Custom finishes and custom cap design available
-
- Due to the use of Vacuum Insulated Glazing (VIG), the glass unit size is currently limited to 2.5m (h) x 2.0m (w) and there are very small stainless steel vacuum pillars that are visible up close
- Designed for IGU with 34mm (1.34”) overall thickness
- Curtain wall must be installed perpendicular (90 degrees) to the floor plate
- Curtain walls must be reviewed for structural and load requirements
