Comar announces window walling framing system

Comar 2 thermally efficient aluminium window walling is a cost-effective low-rise alternative to curtain walling.

Originally designed in conjunction with local authorities to provide a fast-track framing system for timely school refurbishment, Comar 2 is now used for facades from residential developments to offices.

A range of mullions and transoms are available for the required deflection loads, so small or large glazed areas can be created while maintaining standardisation of slim sightlines throughout the facade.

Variable angle returns and three-way glazing can be designed into the project and these profiles can be tailored to meet the refurbishment demands of an existing facade.

The Comar 5 window range, which includes configurations such as tilt and turn, casement, vertical and horizontal pivot, horizontal sliding and vertical sliding, can be integrated into the Comar 2 facade, ensuring that the correct opening vent is specified for the project.

For example, on a high-rise development the cleaning regime is a key consideration, so tilt and turn, pivots or top-swing can be specified, whereas for classrooms, safety is paramount, therefore specifying sliding vents that do not create an obstruction provides a better solution.

As well as integrating opening vents into the system, Comar 2 has the facility to glaze up to 75mm, which means it can be glazed with varying thickness of panels and glass into the same facade by using the range of beads and gaskets available.

Higher thermal demands mean that triple glazing can easily be accommodated as well as panels that ensure high insulation and colour.

For complete versatility, consideration has also been given to entrances.

Another profile allows the Comar 7 door range to be hung directly from Comar 2 on Axim concealed transom closers, creating a cost-effective and fast-track entrance solution.

Comar 2 is a ladder frame system where framing modules can be made in the factory and shipped to site.

A two-part box and plate clip together for assembly of the facade.

Comar 2 is typically internally glazed; however, where floor slabs need to be spanned, an externally glazed solution is available.

Comar Architectural Aluminium Systems has a specification guide as well as full technical data on the Comar 2 facade solutions.

For contractors, architects and specifiers, Comar has a Nationwide Approved Fabricator Network, which provides fast-track manufacture and installation pricing for budget or tender returns.
