A GUIDE TO: WEATHERSEAL SELECTION, SPECIFICATION & STANDARD An Introduction: to EN 12365 2003 Enabling a window or door to meet CE marking 2016 Product performance tables The Schlegel product range materials, technologies and designs Selecting a seal material and design quality products Thermal conductivity to EN ISO 10077-1 2006 and EN 12524 2012 12 Other relevant standards Glossary of terms (relating to EN 12365 2003)

EN 12365 2003 is the European standard that details the performance requirements of gaskets and weatherstripping in doors, windows, shutters and curtain walling. These gaskets or weatherstripping are to control the movement of air, water, sound and energy between the fixed and opening parts of the described products. The standard includes all gasket and weatherstripping materials but does not apply to mastics, sealants, putties or other liquids, viscous or other materials extruded into their final place. The performance of gaskets and weatherstrips are critically important to the overall...

ENABLING A WINDOW OR DOOR TO MEET CE MARKING 2016 under EN 12365-1 2003 as required by EN 14351-1 2016 clause 4.15. The Construction Products Regulation came into force on the 1st July 2013, and requires that manufacturers, who place construction products covered by a harmonised European Standard, on the market within the European Economic Area (EEA), apply a CE mark and produce a Declaration of Performance (DOP) for their products. CE marking is not applied to windows and doors in all applications in all countries across Europe but still provides consumers with the confidence in the...

COMPLIANCE WITH CLAUSE 4.15: DURABILITY In accordance with clause 4.15, the long term water tightness and air permeability characteristics of an external door, window or roof light are dependent upon the weatherseals. This clause requires that weather seals comply with the relevant European Standard, in this instance, EN 12365-1 2003 (Building hardware. Gasket and weather stripping for doors, windows, shutters and curtain walling. Performance requirements and classification).

THE CLASSIFICATIONS OF WEATHERSEALS TO EN 12365 2003 Under EN 12365 2003 there is a prescribed classification system that enables window, door, shutter and curtain walling manufacturers or installers to ensure that they are using the component that best meets their requirements. It is important that evidence is provided and the classification of each seal demonstrated. A SIX DIGIT SYSTEM IS USED: 1 Working Range Linear Compression Force Working Temperature Range Deflection Recovery Recovery After Ageing 9 grades showing the working range of the seal with 9 being the greatest distance 9...

PRODUCT PERFORMANCE TABLES The methodology for the linear compression test, the deflection recovery test and the recovery after ageing test are all described in EN 12365 2003 parts 2, 3 and 4. All testing should be carried out by an accredited test facility. The testing facilities at SchlegelGiesse in Hamburg are accredited by ift Rosenheim.

THE SCHLEGEL PRODUCT RANGE MATERIALS, TECHNOLOGIES AND DESIGNS In order to cover all normal applications for windows, doors, shutters and curtain walling, Schlegel offer the widest range of gasket and weatherstripping materials and technologies available. There are products within the Schlegel range designed to perform as sliding seals, compression seals and gaskets for framing materials including aluminium, timber, PVC, steel and other composites. The principle Schlegel product ranges and technologies are: Q-LON POL YURETHANE FOAM WEATHERSEALS A combination of polyurethane, polypropylene...

SELECTING A SEAL MATERIAL AND DESIGN The selection of a suitable seal product is dependent in the performance characteristics required for the door, window, rooflight, shutter or curtain walling in the application for which it has been designed. These considerations will in turn influence the selection of material and manufacturer. SCHLEGEL CAN OFFER ALL PRODUCT DESIGN, MANUFACTURING AND INSTALLATION TEAMS SUPPORT IN THE SPECIFICATION AND SUPPL OF A SEAL... Y A great deal of guidance can be gained from the classification under EN 12365-1 2003, which should always be checked. For thermal...

THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY TO EN ISO 10077-1 2006 AND EN 12524 2012 THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY Section 4.12 of EN 14351-1 2006 stipulates the methods for determining thermal transmittance of windows and doors that can be used for CE Declarations of Performance. Common window configurations can use standard tables within EN 10077-1 2006 for declared thermal performance values, though more accurate values can be obtained by individual calculation or hot box testing. In accordance with 4.12 of EN 14351-1, calculations used for declaring thermal transmittance should be conducted in accordance with the...
