High insulation façade

Passive house does not require an active heating system and therefore relies heavily on the thermal insulation and air-tightness of the façade. Based on the standard series, WICTEC 50HI is certified for aluminium/glass façades suitable for passive houses at minimal additional cost. The thermal insulation exceeds the benchmark requirements of passive-house, with a Uf value of 0.65 W/(m²K) thanks to easy-to-install special thermal break profiles in combination with triple glazing.

Characteristics

System tests / CE product pass in accordance with EN 13830:2015+A1:2020

Technical performance

System technology

• Extension to WICTEC 50 with optimised thermal insulation

• Certified by the ift Rosenheim as a passive house component according to the ift guidance paper RI WA 15/1, with a Ucw value of 0.7 W/(m²K)

• Triple glazing construction suitable for passive houses, infill thicknesses up to 63 mm

• Thermally enhanced isolator profiles for subsequent installation

• System construction identical to standard WICTEC 50

• Ideal for vertical and polygon façades, sloped glazing and spatial structures

• Individual design possibilities, thanks to a wide range of aesthetic profiles

• Reliable glass load transfer (up to 6.0 kN), with improved transom-joint technology

• Overlapping and secure drainage at the cruciform, without mechanical mullion processing, ensures tried-and-tested impermeability

• Consistent internal gasket appearance

• Wide selection of structural profiles, with optional integral reinforcements, ensuring optimal performance

Safety and security

With a modular format, the façade can be easily enhanced to meet project-specific fire protection, as well as security requirements such as burglary and bullet resistance. For additional safety, the product also provides intelligent glass weight transfer using reinforced glazing supports and pinned transom connections.
