FOR A PERFECT LIVING ENVIRONMENT
BENEFITS OF S8000 IQ
The S 8000 IQ profile system demonstrates GEALAN’s consistent focus on the needs of the market. The development objective for this system with rebate gaskets and an installation depth of 74 mm was to create a cost-effective profile with optimum use of materials, for easier and more efficient fabrication by window manufacturers.
- – An installation depth of 74 mm ensures excellent heat and sound insulation
- – Large main chamber for large steel stiffening elements;
- – Efficient use of material in the profile geometry saves resources and thus helps the environment
- – Only one stiffening steel necessary for frames, sashes and mullions;
- – Option of improved room climate and greater living comfort with the patented ventilation system GECCO for a controlled exchange between inside and outside air;
- – Available in a wide selection of acrylcolor colours and (wood grain) decor foils.
FLEXIBLE MULTI-CHAMBER STRUCTURE
Statics: large-scale planning
Particular attention was paid to profile stability when developing the S 8000 IQ system. The main chambers for the steel stiffening element were therefore made corresponding large.
The result is very high flexural rigidity of the standard stiffening elements, which in turn benefits the profile stability. This opens the door for the construction of large elements, and also allows window manufacturers to meet specific demands for large windows.
- The maximum height of the window elements is determined by the window width and the resulting overall surface area.
- When windows are large, the window elements are subject to high forces.
- Stable steel stiffening elements ensure high flexural rigidity and allow the construction of large windows.
FRONT DOOR IN THE S 8000 IQ SYSTEM
Large steel stiffening elements
To achieve the required static properties, GEALAN has arranged the partition bars in the front door from the S 8000 IQ system to allow the insertion of the largest possible stiffening elements. This specific arrangement of partition bars combined with an installation depth of 74 mm enables the use of a steel with 30% higher flexural rigidity. The stiffening elements are pre-milled for faster assembly. The threshold supports already tried and tested in other GEALAN systems also provide an interlocking connection between the front door frame and threshold in the S 8000 IQ profile.
Wide range of accessories
There are also matching weldable corner connectors to greatly increase the torsional rigidity and corner strength of the front door wing. The wide range of accessories allows for the construction of all common front door variants. The front door profile can be fitted with all commercially available hardware and locks, as well as most filling panels of up to a thickness of 46 mm. Front doors from the S 8000 IQ system can be manufactured to open inwards or outwards. The front door profile is available in numerous acrylcolor colours and (wood grain) decor foils.
S 8000 IQ with five chambers
- Excellent stability thanks to large steel stiffening elements in the frame and sash;
- Easy to clean, thanks to a generously large frame rebate;
- Available in either flush design with a double-bevelled glazing bead, or semi-flush design with round glazing beads.
S 8000 IQ with six chambers
- Outstanding insulation thanks to six chambers in both frame and sash;
- Easy to clean, thanks to a generously large frame rebate;
- Available in either flush design with a double-bevelled glazing bead, or semi-flush design with round glazing beads.
Front door and French window thresholds for accessible living
The S 8000 front door and French window threshold is ideal for use in wheelchair-accessible living thanks to its overall height of just 20 mm. The cover plate made from aluminium makes the threshold extremely robust, while the multiple sealing levels and a sealing block with counterpiece integrated into the corner make it extremely airtight.
- Excellent heat insulation – optimal isothermic profile
- Hardware for the French windows and double doors is set flush into the threshold
- All installation types are possible (installation between frames or fitted underneath)
- Threshold compatible with all systems with installation depth of 74 mm or 83 mm
- Good protection against driving rain thanks to a specially shaped outer cover plate as well as multiple sealing levels
- Threshold cover plate covers the mounting screws in the rebate base
