Basic Configuration
BASI-K
Steel profiles for windows and doors
The BASI-K system is supplied by the UKEG and it is aimed at making steel profile windows and doors, made entirely in 2 mm thick sheet steel. The 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. 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.
BASI-K References
UKEG provides you with support, so that you can get the most out of your building project, both in terms of maximum thermal and acoustic insulation efficiency, design, and aesthetic research. Here below, some references of projects in which the Basi-k system has been used for steel windows and doors.
Rossi Shop in Montebelluna
(Treviso, Italy)
The renovation of the Rossi shop in the center of Montebelluna (Treviso) involved the renewal of the shop interior spaces, and the redesign of the shop windows and the entrance compass. The context and the characteristics of the building played an important role, without renouncing the requirements of robustness and inalterability over time, especially concerning the entrance door, subject to intense cycles of daily opening and closing. The design focused on simplification and sobriety, adopting simple lines, a limited number of materials and colors. The steel profiles for the window frame and the shop entrance door allowed maximum space to be left for the transparent glass parts, in a functional way to illuminate the rooms in-depth and to significantly increase the exhibition space. The steel profiles belong to the Basi-K series.
