The post-crossbar glazing system of the facades made it possible to give the exterior of high-rise buildings an attractive appearance, lightness, as well as elegance and respectability. Such a glass system implies the need for equipping in future buildings ventilation systems, sun protection, lightning protection, smoke removal, fire extinguishing. In addition, there is a need to develop a maintenance and repair plan.
Features of rack-mount and crossbar facade system
The post-crossbar glazing system of the facades is one of the most common in decoration. The main advantage of the system is the speed of its installation, in addition, it is universal. As a result, you can get different results, which will depend on the installation methods. So, the system can be standard, then in the process of work outwardly visible decorative covers are used. In this case, the system can be closed, which involves the use of a pair of caps, or half-closed when only one cap is used.
If there is no need to use them, then a structural system is applied. It can also be combined semi-structural, in the process of arrangement of which both of the above-mentioned mounting options are used.
Crossbar-rack system of stained-glass windows
The post-crossbar glazing system of facades may involve glazing of large openings. This technique is used to work with the entrance groups of shopping centers, theaters, cafes, as well as restaurants. If stained-glass glazing is used for facades, then special types of glass are used in the work , among which one can distinguish: triplex, self-cleaning, artistic, tinted, armored and even sound-absorbing.
The advantages of the post-rail system
The rack-and-crossbar glazing system of the facades has a lot of advantages, which are expressed in excellent thermal insulation, which saves on creating a comfortable climate inside the building. In addition, such systems are quite simple to install, and mounting options are diverse. For example, a crossbar with a stand can be mated in one of several ways, the first of which involves the use of an overlap, while the stand is devoid of a groove. Another connection method is called docking, with a grooved cracker used. But when there is a groove in the rack, the method of overlapping with milling is used.
If the work uses a rack-mount and crossbar glazing system for facades, the units can be replaced (this applies to profiles). The aluminum profile that is used for the crossbars is identical to that used for racks. And in the field of installation, it has grooves for ventilating the seam of the double-glazed window and preventing condensation. This makes it possible to use the remaining remains of the racks in the role of crossbars, optimizing the work on cutting the profile. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost of the system.
Varieties of adjacencies
Due to the fact that the described systems have unique features, it is possible to cope with all sorts of design tasks. Masters can create all sorts of varieties of junctions and transitions. So, the racks can be vertically inclined, while the surface will have a kink. The system allows you to equip surfaces that are oriented obliquely and rotated. Created in advance inclined structures can be attached to the facade.
Mounting Features
Different types of glazing can be distinguished by the method of fastening double-glazed windows. The post-crossbar glazing system of the facades, the photo of which is presented in the article, contains racks and crossbars that are available in the inner frame. The most commonly used material for these elements is aluminum. The double-glazed window is inserted into the cell of the facade and is strengthened by means of a clamping plate. The latter is decorated with an overlay - a five-centimeter bar. Externally, the facade looks like a continuous canvas, which is divided into separate cells by strips, the latter can have different colors. Pads are sometimes made convex and sometimes flat. Such systems are not only the most popular, but also cheap. Despite the fact that the installation is not accompanied by difficulties, if there is a need to mount at a height, the use of a tower will be required.
Features of the fastening of the rack-and-rail bolt system
The rack-and-beam cross-glazing system of facades (Tatprof, by the way, is the leading company in its production) can be made semi-closed. Vertically or horizontally located clamping strips can have a different color or a different relief, but the strips that are attached perpendicularly are replaced by a seal, and a sealant is used. If you use a similar installation technology, then if necessary it will be quite difficult to replace a damaged glass pane. But outwardly the facade looks more attractive. On the surface, exclusively horizontal seams stand out.
Production Features
The rack-and-beam cross-glazing system for facades, the production of which is based on aluminum profiles, is used to equip facades, conservatories, and also translucent coatings. In the conditions of the plant, crossbars and racks are carried out, which may have different design features. This allows you to design systems on the elements of which will be assigned various kinds of loads. Racks are also made that are capable of undergoing heavy loads, while the mentioned elements are reinforced with special profiles that are mounted inside the racks.
Profiles of crossbars and racks possess drainage cavities that allows to provide ventilation of a fold of a double-glazed window. This supplement helps to equalize the vapor pressure in the structural units. During production, the system is equipped with a three-level design for condensate and water drainage from the rebate.
Wooden rack-mount and crossbar system
The post-crossbar glazing system of wooden facades has a lot of advantages. Among the performance characteristics, a high ability to corrosion resistance can be distinguished. Using this technology, it is possible to equip facades that will have a distance between the profile of 55 mm or more. In addition, the design has excellent resistance to water. And in the building, after installing such a facade design, the level of comfort will be increased, since the heat-saving functions increase.
The largest size of double-glazed windows that the system is able to hold is 3100x5900 mm. Soundproof is 42 dB. The standard dimensions of wooden crossbars are 50x120, 60x180, 80x200 mm. If there is a need to glaze a building with a complex architectural concept, then it is worth choosing such a system. Installation is preferable to entrust it to a team of professionals, so you can be sure that the work will be performed efficiently and the facade will last for a long time.
