Thermal insulation
AIR-K
Steel profiles with thermal insulation features for heat-insulated windows and doors
The AIR-K system is supplied by the U-KEG Group and it is aimed at making steel profile for heat-insulated windows and doors, made entirely in 2 mm thick sheet steel, without materials similar to plastic compromising the stability of profiles. The slotted profiles are 60 mm deep and the width is between 10 mm and 50 mm; they are closed tubular profiles welded continuously, in Sendzimir galvanized steel or Cor-Ten steel. A double set of rectangular slots offset lengthways reduces heat dispersion and maintains very high mechanical strength. The extreme mechanical sturdiness of the steel and the carefully chosen series of accessories allow the creation of windows and doors characterized by large dimensions, with limited frames left visible. The “closed joint” construction system forms excellent water and air barrier. The sturdiness of the profiles allows high safety performances against extreme atmospheric events, guaranteeing the required high levels of heat and sound insulation and safety. The profile, thanks to the perfect flatness and precision and the thickness of 2 mm, ensures ease and speed in welding and cutting operations. The use in the steel profiles of removable silicone gaskets makes the system easily recyclable and eco-friendly.
CONFIGURATIONS
Complanar Layout
The line of the leaf profile and that of the case profile are both located along the same direction. There are no recesses or protrusions. This layout stands out for clean lines, simplicity, and for a modern and minimal style.
Overlapping Layout
The ideal line describing the leaf profile is external to the line that ideally passes through the case profile. The overlapping layout of this configuration recalls the typical industrial factories casements, or those of some historical buildings. This layout is suitable for renovations and replacement works of old iron window profiles, taking advantage of new profiles increasing thermal and acoustic insulation, but maintaining the same aesthetics.
