5. Quality Control

Quality assurance covers extrusion and electrostatic painting with strict parameters:

• Geometric Tolerances: ±0.40 mm dimensional tolerance; max 3 mm straightness deviation over 6 m; max 2 mm warping over 5-6 m
• Painting: Surface inspected from 2 m distance with no visible defects allowed (QUALICOAT standard)

6. Profiles and Technical Data

The document catalogs aluminium profiles used in the AL 590 system, including door frames, sashes, mullions, kickplates, connectors, thresholds, handles, and trims. Each profile is detailed with:

• Code and drawing reference
• Weight per meter (340 g/m to 2527 g/m)
• Moments of inertia and resistance (Jxx, Jyy, Wx, Wy)
• Standard length (6.00 m)

Profiles are illustrated at 1:1 scale with perimeter dimensions to aid precise fabrication.

7. Additional Sections (Summary)

Further sections cover profile adapters, door typologies, cutting dimensions, accessories, installation guidelines, system tools, maintenance, and customer feedback, providing comprehensive practical guidance.

8. Aluminium Profiles and Glazing Beads Specifications

Profiles and glazing beads are specified by unique codes with parameters such as weight, depth, and perimeter to suit various construction needs.

9. Profile Assemblies and Door Typologies

Profiles are designed for compatibility in assemblies like mullion-to-sash and sash-to-kickplate. The system supports multiple door types including single, double, with transoms or sidelights, illustrated with detailed sectional drawings.

10. Cutting Dimensions and Guidelines

Precise cutting dimensions with tolerances are provided for different door configurations to ensure accurate fabrication and assembly.

11. Accessories and Components

A comprehensive list of accessories includes crimp corners, alignment corners, glazing and sealing gaskets, EPDM foam extrusions, end covers, hinges, handles, cylinders, strike plates, and locks. Each item is coded with packaging and weight details.

12. Locking Systems

Multi-point locking systems are detailed with 3, 5, and 17-point configurations, including strike plates and installation drawings.

13. Manufacturing and Installation Guidelines

Step-by-step instructions cover:

• Profile cutting with flat surface alignment for precision
• Grooving for locks using manufacturer templates
• Hinge hole drilling with copying plates for accuracy
• Frame assembly using glue on cut surfaces to prevent corrosion and connection corners (crimped or pressed)
• Specified hinge hole distances (150 mm from bottom, 200 mm from top)
• Profile fixation by hammering at designated points
• Lock, handle, hinge, reinforcement, panel installation with specified screws and adhesives
• Sealing with EPDM rubber seals, sealing brushes, and adhesive for waterproofing

14. Tools and Equipment

Details on punch machines and cutting tools with codes and descriptions for precise aluminium profile fabrication.

15. Manufacturing Best Practices

1. Understand full profile range and capabilities
2. Provide tailored construction solutions
3. Use appropriate sub-frames with 2.5-3 mm clearance for insulation
4. Protect cut edges with anti-corrosion materials
5. Seal profile joints and direct water through drainage channels
6. Apply silicone between frame and marble to prevent water ingress
7. Create drainage holes as needed
8. Use specified hardware and EPDM seals
9. Secure glass panes properly
10. Seek technical support for complex constructions

Note: Use snap-in type sealing gaskets for easy replacement.

16. Maintenance Guidelines

• Clean painted profiles regularly with water and mild detergent (pH 5-5.8)
• Use sponge and neutral wetting agents; rinse with clean water
• Avoid abrasive materials, solvents, and harsh tools
• Increase cleaning frequency in industrial/coastal areas
• Remove construction residues promptly
• Avoid non-approved adhesive tapes on painted surfaces
• Remove protective film immediately after installation
• Use special adhesive on damaged paint areas to maintain gloss and prevent corrosion
