    200DGF: 200mm Double Glazed Front Glazed Framing

    Envirotech Façade Solutions has started our design process with a blank sheet. Instead of short cutting the process and utilising the traditional shopfront suites of the 1960’s, EFS has instead designed a range of commercial suites to suit todays’ requirements, standards, codes and architectural trends.

    The 200DGF system is a 200mm x 60mm & 85mm double glazed front glazed system designed to be used in most commercial and semi commercial applications. This suite also caters for commercial with stack joint options. The 200mm front glazed system not only allows for a greater flexibility in design but also larger spans under increased wind-loads than its 101mm and 150mm counter-parts. This is combined with the knowledge that when coupled with the deflection coupler, higher water ratings and structural movements are easily catered for.

    The system has a glazing pocket opening width of 39mm, which allows for the use of glass up to 35mm
    thick while still providing a minimum glass cover of 12mm ensuring compliance to AS/NZS4666. These design features translate to designers and fabricators having the ability to glaze thicker and therefore larger pieces of energy efficient glass than many of the other suites currently on offer to the market.

    This new design has male and female mullion with a minimum rebate depth of 18mm, which allows for a glass edge clearance of at least 6mm, significantly reducing the risk of scratching the frame or damaging glass edges during glass installation.

    From a performance perspective, these features mean that designers need not compromise their designs in order to achieve performance requirements for thermal, acoustic, structural and water ratings.

    The EFS 200DGF suite is complimented by its ability to seamlessly integrate with our ‘A-C 35’ & ‘A-C 50’ 
    awning/casement window systems and sliding door system to name just a few.
