Glazpart Limited

Glazpart have designed a diverse range of frame protectors to fit 60 mm and 70 mm window profiles. The frame corner protector is used by window fabricators to prevent corner damage of the frame during handling and transit from the fabricator to the installation site. These protectors reduce such damage to a point where, due to the reduction in rework and customer complaints – overall the use of protectors pays for itself.

A range of universal profile versions are available and are installed using a screw fixing, typically through the centre of the frame corner protector.

In addition Glazpart has a range of clip in systems which are typically profile specific. The benefits of these designs over their general product benefits are that;

• No need for a screw fix in the frame. This removes a water ingress route into the frame once the frame corner protector is removed during installation on site.
• Installation and removal of the clip in frame corner protector is much faster. The clip in frame corner protector can typically be installed in half the time.
• No use of hand drills thus reducing the risks and monitoring of hand arm vibration during installation and removal.
• The clip in versions can be reused, if they are returned from site.
   

These packers are designed for use during the installation of the window frame into the window reveal, exactly as with a spring frame packer. However, the design incorporates a “klip” function and installation “tab”.

This klip exerts a lateral force between the frame packer and the fixing, holding it in place preventing any rotation of the frame packer and it falling out.

The additional tab makes the location of the frame packer even easier, especially when working at height and once the window is in position the tab is bent over, breaking off.

The advantages of this design are that once in position it can be released by the installer, freeing up a hand to install the fixing correctly, easily and safely (especially when working at height).
 

Glazpart’s Link vent Mk 2 is the latest generation of background ventilatiors. 

The Link vent Mk 2 is designed around the requirements of the UK and Ireland building regulations, Approved Document F.

However, they may also be able to offer a cost-effective solution for the supply of DIN 1946-6 Ventilation and air conditioning – Part 6: Ventilation for residential buildings – General requirements, requirements for measuring, performance and labelling, delivery/acceptance (certification) and maintenance.

Glazpart trickle ventilation offers the potential to supply background, cross ventilation and air flow rate needed for moisture protection. The vents provide externally and internally mounted air transfer devices with air flow, through or over the window frame. No need to fit costly air transfer devices through the building envelope.

Flat packers are important to install windows professionally, as they are designed in cooperation with window manufacturers often for the specific window profile to work safely over its guaranteed period.

The design, hardness and compatibility of packers is key to performance of their designed role. The construction of the packer and it’s compatibility with the rest of the frame materials is important that is why our materials are tested and developed with window system designers and are manufactured from prime materials, to exacting hardness and dimensional tolerances.

Location is also key and they should be used a minimum of 30mm from the frame corners.

But what does the packer do?

As support blocks they carry the load of the glazed unit and spread that into the base frame profile.

As location blocks they ensure the glazed unit is plumb and square to the frame and are used in certain window types as support blocks to hinge and locking points.

They increase security around fixing points to prevent the deflection of the frame extrusion. Flat packers are designed to work with bridge packers to maintain drainage and ventilation in the window frame rebate.

Flat packers are also used to toe and heel glazed units, doors, bi fold and patio door sets.

Glazpart specialise in the surface lamination of 3D (three dimensional) parts. Typical parts are of Plastic (Injection or Thermoformed) or other substrates such as wood or metal.
Glazpart offer a 3D decoration service and as such are pleased to accept your parts for lamination. We have two methods:

Vacuum foiling

Foiling is used to improve the appearance or durability of the part, and is frequently used to match the appearance of companion products. As in the image vacuum foil is applied here Chartwell green to a mullion end cap.
 

Aqua printing

Limitless Possibilities whether it be for Domestic, Commercial, Private or Corporate applications.

• Independently tested for weathering & U.V. stability
• Aqua foil unique decoration
• Added value opportunity
• Over 500 of visual finishes. 
• Coats any surface that can be painted - and more!
