Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides a comprehensive overview of Italian Technical Standards (NTC 2018) and UNI norms related to construction, focusing on overload values, glass safety standards, and testing methods for construction materials.
Categories of Use: Different environments are categorized based on their use, such as areas for physical activities, crowding, commercial use, storage, industrial use, vehicle traffic, and roofs, each with specific overload values and requirements.
Standards and Testing: References are made to UNI 11678:2017 and UNI EN 12600 standards, which define test methods for glass used in construction, including tests for static and dynamic loads, serviceability limit state, ultimate limit state, and collapse limit state.
Glass Safety Standards: Requirements for laminated safety glass are detailed, including impact tests with different classes based on impactor height and breakage behavior, emphasizing the importance of laminated glass in maintaining safety by holding fragments together upon breakage.
Technical Processes: Processes like lamination, tempering, and hardening are explained, which enhance the safety and durability of glass. The role of interlayers like polyvinyl butyral (PVB) in laminated glass is highlighted for maintaining structural integrity.
Glossary: Key terms such as Serviceability Limit State (SLS), Ultimate Limit State (ULS), Design Load (DL), and Heat Shock Test (HST) are defined to provide clarity on technical concepts related to construction safety and standards.
Specifications: The risk of spontaneous rupture in tempered glass due to nickel-sulfide inclusions is discussed, along with a tough protective interlayer compliant with PREN 16613 standards.
Product Overview: A range of glass products and their specifications are listed, including Vision 3 Pro, Vision 3 Maxi, Vision 5 IN, and others, designed for various installations with specific glass thickness and load resistance capabilities.
Railing Profiles: The N-ERA and Vision series railing profiles are highlighted, with the N-ERA profile noted for its elegance, high protection, and a patented adjustment system, meeting strict regulations with load resistance at SLS of 3.0 kN/m and ULS of 4.5 kN/m.
Standards and Certifications: Several standards such as EN 7697:2015, UNI 10806:1999, and UNI 11678:2017 are referenced, outlining safety criteria and mechanical resistance for glass applications, emphasizing compliance for safety and performance.
Installation Guidelines: Different installation methods are described, including floor, concealed, and frontal installations, with details on anchoring methods and materials.
Material and Finish: Profiles are made from EN AW-6060 aluminum alloy, with surface treatments compliant with QUALICOAT and QUALANOD standards, stressing the importance of these treatments for durability and aesthetic quality.
Key Features: The N-ERA profile is highlighted for its safety, simplicity, and versatility, being suitable for various applications and certified according to UNI EN 11678.
Vision Series: Detailed specifications for various glass railing systems under the Vision Series are provided, designed for use in public and residential buildings, offering both aesthetic appeal and compliance with safety standards.
Balcony Series: Includes products like Juliet French Balcony and Balcony Frames, offering solutions for parapets, balconies, and stairs with both floor and frontal fixing options.
Materials and Finishes: Use of extruded aluminum, plastics, and stainless steel is detailed, with finishes like anodic oxidation and polyester powder coatings according to UNI standards.
Specifications and Materials: Specifications for canopies and pergolas are outlined, emphasizing the use of AISI 316 stainless steel for outdoor installations and laminated safety glass to withstand snow and wind loads.
Design and Applications: Solutions for both indoor and outdoor areas are highlighted, focusing on the versatility of lean-to structures and bioclimatic pergolas.
Cleaning and Maintenance: Cleaning treatments for glass, aluminum, and stainless steel are discussed, with recommendations for maintaining material integrity.
Technical Support and Customization: Availability of technical consulting services for designing customized solutions is mentioned, including the possibility of incorporating LED lighting into pergola designs.
Key Recommendations: Use laminated safety glass as per UNI standards, employ AISI 316 stainless steel for outdoor installations, and consider bioclimatic pergolas for enhanced outdoor comfort and aesthetics.
Cleaning and Maintenance of Steel Surfaces: Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant material that requires routine cleaning to maintain its condition, with specific cleaning products and tools recommended.
Environmental Commitment: The catalogue is printed on FSC paper from sustainable forests, reflecting the company's commitment to environmental responsibility.
