150mm Front Double Glazed Framing System

The ClimateGuard 150mm x 60mm Front Double Glazed framing system is an ideal choice for commercial applications such as offices, showrooms, warehouses and shopping centres. This thermally broken framing system rates highly for water and wind loads, achieving a rating of 3000Pa for its ultimate test.

It is also easy to fabricate and install, using machining and assembly methods
similar to Darley’s other framing systems. The ClimateGuard 150mm front double glazed framing system offers superior energy performance and has been tested and exceeds Australian Standard AS2047.

Accepts glass thickness from 24mm – 36mm

Compatible with other Darley Aluminium Commercial Systems

Compatible with various Darley mainframe options

Thermally broken system for higher performance energy values

Tested and approved by an independent NATA accredited laboratory

WERS Ratings

The Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) is accredited by the AFRC – which means that WERS ratings are compliant with the NCC.

Reports are prescribed both the window performance for total window U Value (Uw) and total window Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGCw).

U-value

U-value measures how well a product prevents heat from escaping.

It is a measure of the rate of non-solar heat loss or gain through a material or assembly.

U-value ratings generally fall between 2.0-10.0 W/m2.K for Australian products. The lower the U-value, the greater a window’s resistance to heat and cold flow and the better its insulating value.

Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient (SHGC)

SHGC measures how well a product blocks heat caused by sunlight. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower a window’s SHGC, the less solar heat it transmits.

Tested to AS2047

Under the Building Code of Australia, we are required to produce windows and doors that meet mandatory minimum specifications under Australian Standard (AS) 2047 – including AS1288.

Simulations of High Winds and Driving Rains

AS4420.2 Deflection Test – positive and negative wind pressures are applied to the face of the window to test the maximum deflection under wind load. AS4420.5 Water Penetration Resistance Test – to verify that no water leaks through the window into the building.

Operating Force Requirement

AS4420.3 Operating Force Test – to verify that an opening sash is capable of opening and closing without undue effort.

Air Infiltration Pressure

AS4220.4 Air In filtration Test – the air leakage of a window is tested to ensure energy and acoustic efficiency.

Ultimate Strength Testing

AS4420.6 Ultimate Strength Test – negative and positive wind pressures are applied to the window to at least 1.5 times the design wind pressure to ensure it does not fail in unusual wind conditions.
