Description
Guide to the design of thermally improved glazing frames 
 
Description 

This guide presents the factors affecting U-values and condensation risk associated with different framing systems and glazing solutions.  It allows comparison of different framing materials including composite frames and shows the effect of different frame/glazing combinations. 

The guide is based on over 160 analyses showing temperature distribution within each frame, heat flow and U-value. 

The guide will be of use to anyone designing, or seeking to improve, profiles for use in glazing frames including curtain walling.
