Nature's
design "patents" form the basis of RP Technik/Midas Technologies products:
innovative high-tech systems using the absolute minimum of material
even for the framing of large glazing areas.
RP Technik's advanced section systems in metal combinations of steel and stainless steel offer the optimum solution for all the requirements of modern architecture. Systems that can open up a world of creative freedom to designers of transparent metalglass structures. Whether facades or roof glazing, doors, partitions or windows - the perfectly co-ordinated RP systems lends itself to the most unusual and individual design solutions. Streamlined fabrication, high durability and energy effectiveness combine to make the RP system particularly economical - and safe. Steel and stainless steel are materials that meet all requirements of stability, smoke and fire protection, thermal and noise insulation and protection against burglary as well as the opportunity to create dramatic effects.
With its outstanding insulating properties - 1.3 W/m² K - the RP-ISO-GARANT system optimally ful-fills all the legal requirements concerning lagging and saving energy. The value for the whole element lies well below 1.7 W/(m2 K) and is clearly better than bridged steel systems
On the basis of
proven steel profiles, RP Technik/Midas Technologies
offers extremely economical energy saving windows.
During the fabrication of the 6 m long sandwich profiles the external and
internal stainless steel shells are connected to a FFC-free polyurethane
thermal insulating block. This connection is made under high pressure and a
relatively high temperature. The resulting massive and solid thermal
insulating block has already all the functional profile grooves necessary
for seals and fittings. Finally, the stainless steel surfaces are polished.
The cost-saving processing of the profiles to finished
elements described is just one of the many advantages the system has.
The
assembly of the door and window profiles to make frame elements is
extremely easy and quick, as no special machines or assembly tools
are required.
The problem free assembly of the profiles using
corner-connectors (no pressure or bolts) and easy fixing of the hardware
directly into the polyurethane block result in low fabrication costs of the
system.
The L-shaped
corner-connectors are simply inserted into the predrilled holes in the PU-block.
The angle cut is coated with a polyurethane adhesive and then fixed with
clamps whilst drying.
Because the adhesive is applied to the full surface (not just the steel
shells), the corner-connection is extremely tight and perfectly aligned.
Typical labour-intensive work on stainless steel frames, such as grinding of
corner joints or finished surfaces, do not have to be carried out with the
RP-ISO-GARANT system. The finish is carried out on 6 m long profiles
before they are cut, and all joints are fitted cleanly.
This top method of fabrication ensures that RP-ISO-GARANT/MIDAS TECHNOLOGIES frames are long lasting and low in maintenance.
