Panel Systems Launch Aluglaze Eco
Panel Systems is making it even easier for specifiers, builders and contractors to select environmentally-friendly window infill panels, with the release of Aluglaze eco.
This new addition to the company's range of architectural panels comprises a tough, double skinned polyester-coated aluminium bonded to a core of Styrofoam LBA insulation.
A premium quality product, Aluglaze eco is predominantly specified where aesthetics and sustainability are required.
Danny Phelan, Sales Manager for Panel Systems, explained: "Aluglaze is widely used for many projects and we expect this latest addition to the range will enhance its popularity even further. Specifying Aluglaze eco infill panels can help building designers to achieve the highest performance and sustainability requirements on BREEAM projects."
The insulating properties of Aluglaze eco are provided by its Styrofoam LBA core, which makes it ideal for projects which require high standards of environmental performance. This is because the material uses Carbon Dioxide as the blowing agent, which has an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of zero and Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than five, therefore meeting the requirements of BREEAM.
Concern about ozone depletion in the stratosphere has led to international agreements to phase out the use of such depleting chemicals, making Styrofoam LBA a popular choice.
The new Aluglaze eco panels can achieve very low U-values, down to 0.15 w/m2K with an increased thickness of Styrofoam LBA over the standard 28mm panel, which achieves a minimum U-value of 1.12w/m2K.
Aluglaze eco is available in the full range of Interpon D and Syntha Pulvin powder coating colours, for use in architectural applications, where aesthetics and long term low maintenance are all important.
All Aluglaze eco panels are supplied cut to size to the contractors’/specifiers’ own dimensions. Customer sizes are optimised using the latest 'Magicut' software to minimise the amount of material wasted. All panels are vacuum-pressed with a two part polyurethane adhesive.
