ALT C48 Non thermal framing system

Application

The constructions of aluminum ALT C48 system are designed to be installed in internal and external apertures of building walls. The system enables manufacturing of structures for external and internal doors, automatic sliding doors, entry groups, anterooms, shop-windows and internal partition walls in any administrative and public buildings and premises (shops, hypermarkets, business centers, offices, trade pavilions, gas filling stations, airports and railway stations, bus stations and etc.).

General description

ALT C48 system has broad functional capabilities and enables manufacturing of:

1. Window structures with furniture «euro-groove»;
2. Classic door structures with superimposed hinges;
3. Door structures with furniture groove «Fapim»;
4. Partition walls, combined structures;
5. Structures designed for the installation of automatic sliding doors;
6. Floating doors with floor closers.

The window series of profiles with euro-groove furniture makes it possible to install widespread furniture and manufacture windows with various opening types: swinging, swing-out, top-hung, bottom-hung opening inside.

The door series of profiles (both, the standard series and with FAPIM groove) are designed for the manufacture of ‘coplanar’ doors (inner and outer surfaces of frames and leaves are in the same plane). The series allow manufacturing of various swing door constructions: single-, demi-double and double-leaf doors; opening inside and outside; with superimposed (visible) and groove (hidden) hinges; with or without threshold; with top and lateral blind parts in one frame.

All series of ALT C48 system have one basic installation depth for the frame profile, which is 48 mm depth. The system features broad opportunities for the application of various types of filling: glass, double-glass, sandwich-panels, flakeboard and other materials. The product range of profiles, fillets and sealants in the system makes it possible to install fillings from 4 to 30 m thick.

Constructions assembly

1. Straight-line classical design of system profiles allows manufacturing structures in a modern style;
2. Configuration of ALT C48 system profiles ensures preserving the same visual proportions of the profiles in the swinging, sliding and blind parts of the structures;
3. The width of profiles’ imposts and frames is provided in three standards sizes: 26 mm, 36 mm and 50 mm. This enables saving the materials and perfectly matching profiles by the design of constructions of various sizes and filling types;
4. Primary system profiles (frames, imposts, foot stalls, leaves, compensating profiles) have the same coupling sizes for corner leveling angle. In its turn it reduces the range of required additional components, eliminates displacement of connected profiles’ planes, enhances the strength of connections and improves the appearance of structures;
5. Plastic plugs installed in door structures eliminate through slot blowout and make the structure more attractive.

Applied furniture

When assembling structures from the classical door-window series of profiles one can apply standard furniture commonly available in the market.

The door series with FAPIM furniture groove consists of profiles with a new, more advanced FAPIM furniture groove that significantly increases capacity level of manufacturing door structures due to a simple and convenient installation of the furniture components:

1. door hinges;
2. latches and counterparts;
3. lock strike.

As compared to the standard series of profiles, time savings by the manufacture of the door structure reach approximately 40 minutes due to the exclusion of labor intensive operations: measurement and drilling hinge openings, positioning and milling the opening for lock cross-beam and latch.

Furniture components are fastened to the profile with the help of lockscrews, thus enabling easy and quick installation or replacement of the furniture in the event of repairs.

Equipment

The following equipment is required to set up the structure assembly site using ALT С48 profile system:

1. Single- or two-head cutoff saw to cut profiles for 45° or 90°;
2. Pattern milling machine to mill grooves for locks, core-parts, handles, pressure fittings, waterways and etc.;
3. Milling machine to process impost profile edges;
4. Pressing machine to assemble angular connections of window and door structures by the means of pressing in the connected profiles on a preliminary mounted angular embedded part.

At the early stage angular connections can be assembles using pins, since they do not require additional expenses for the corner-swaging machine.

Convenience and pleasant appearance

• Straight-line classical design of system profiles allows manufacturing structures in a modern style;

• Configuration of ALT C48 system profiles ensures preserving the same visual proportions of the profiles in the swinging, sliding and blind parts of the structures;

• The width of profiles’ imposts and frames is provided in three standards sizes: 26 mm, 36 mm and 50 mm. This enables saving the materials and perfectly matching profiles by the design of constructions of various sizes and filling types;

• Primary system profiles (frames, imposts, foot stalls, leaves, compensating profiles) have the same coupling sizes for corner leveling angle. In its turn it reduces the range of required additional components, eliminates displacement of connected profiles’ planes, enhances the strength of connections and improves the appearance of structures;

• Plastic plugs installed in door structures eliminate through slot blowout and make the structure more attractive.

Reliability and stability

1.  Perfectly matched ratio of geometrical and strength properties (AlMg0.7Si 6063 Т6 alloy in compliance with GOST 22233-2001) of the system profiles ensures sound operation of the structures for a long period of time;
2. Manufacture of large and complex structures is done via connecting several separate structures with each other using coupling and reinforcing profiles;
3. Special reinforcing profile is designed to be installed in primary profile chambers in fixation points of door closer and automatic drive slide.

Multiversion connections

1. 1. Angular embedded components provide two possibilities to connect the structure angles:
   • By pressing in the connected profiles on a pressing machine;
   • By fastening angles with pins, which does not require the automotive pressing.

Easy to process and assemble

1. Simple attachment fitting of thresholds enables quick and easy assembly. In the course of the door structure operation, if damaged or worn, the threshold profile can be easily replaced without dismantling the entire structure. There are two standard types of threshold: large and small – for new construction and reconstructed buildings;
2. Unique additional profiles and component parts for central solutions of bottom junction of door wings to the threshold/floor do not require additional milling operations. These profiles provide easy and convenient assembly, they are cut at 90°;
3. A general-purpose support plate designed for frame and wing profiles reduces the range of component parts;
4. The developed configuration of window leaf enables using one standard size of glass stop profile in the blind and swinging part, thus almost completely excluding any errors during the calculation of structures and order of materials.
