Thermaview Sliding Window Update
The ThermaviewTM Sliding Window (422 system) has been revamped in order to bring it in line current AS2047 standards.
Thermaview sliding windows will now offer a fixed-slide configuration with an optional high performance sill threshold. This achieves a greater water rating than before.
This means that ThermaviewTM sliding window systems will no longer have a double slide option in the 65mm width framing. Testing has highlighted that a double sliding window has inferior water penetration ratings than that of a traditional fixed-slide configuration. The Pinnacle Sliding Window (746 system) with 100mm framing will continue to have a double slide option.
We have recently finalised a new technical Fabrication Manual for fabricators of the ThermaviewTM and Pinnacle Sliding Windows (422 and 746 systems) to coincide with these changes.
