Comprised from a base system with a series of mullions and transoms, the TP-52 system was designed to accommodate large heavy glazing modules.

With mullion profiles ranging from 5/8” to 10”, and transoms ranging from 7/8” to 10”, paired with its ability to utilize a variety of union options, the SG-52 system is a universal and versatile facade solution for vertical, inclined, corner, and polygonal applications.

The SG-52's glazing is fixed to the supporting profiles with the use of special clips. An insert is fitted into the glazing chamber (U-Profile) to facilitate a secure and tight fastening of the glass on all four sides.

With an ample glazing capacity of up to 1-3/4”, and the interior visible section of only 2”, the SG-52 facade system provides great energy efficiency, as well as thermal and acoustic insulation with the help of newly designed PVC thermal breaks and EPDM gaskets. The SG-52 is intended to provide a modern “all glass” exterior look.

TRANSMITTANCE

Vetrina Windows uses AAMA 2604 Powder Coating as the primary process for applying colors to aluminum profiles. Our process yields highly durable long-lasting surfaces, resistant to severe atmospheric conditions. We are proud to offer the full RAL chart as the range of color options for the aluminum frames. Dual-color options are also available, where the exterior and interior frames can be different colors to match any aesthetic.
