SFS intec Offers a Stylish New Perspective on Glass Facades

Glass rainscreen facades are taking new forms thanks to SFS intec's ALW fixing system.

The system is allowing architects across Europe to think differently about cold façade applications such as rainscreens, stairwells, lift shafts, sun-protection screens, multi-storey car parks and safety screens

Using SFS intec's ALW clamping system eliminates the need to drill the glass. Glass panes are simply slotted into the single or double ALW clamps, which can be RAL colour matched or anodised, then tightened to secure. The result is a sleek, shingled-façade with minimal glass pane overlap.

As well as accommodating stylish designs, the fixing system combines functionality with longevity, safety and security. ALW clamps have been tested thoroughly to ensure compliance with structural safety requirements and offer a high degree of resistance to corrosion.

Fixing clamps accommodate single and laminated glass thicknesses from 8mm to 18mm, including polycarbonates. Full technical support is available from SFS intec's UK based team to ensure architects have the right information to achieve a safe and secure installation.

ALW is part of SFS intec's glass fixing systems range which also includes raised, bevel and flush point fixings. These can be combined with its spider fixings and special products for balustrades, as well as an easy to specify solution for glass canopies.
