The highest level of wind and water tightness
In summer, large opening windows are the perfect way to bring your homely interior and the luscious outdoors together. But what about the wet and windy wintertime? How do those large frames cope with the cold and moisture? It all comes down to wind and water tightness.
How does it work?
How do our aluminium profiles provide such excellent water and wind-tight performance? Thanks to some clever and crucial developments by our worldwide team of innovators, of course.
Firm sealing gaskets…
Reynaers Aluminium solutions are equipped with high-quality EPDM gaskets that keep out air and water at all times. We provide our window systems with a central gasket to establish a water barrier, while an acoustic gasket increases the acoustic performance. Noise and moisture are no longer an issue. Similarly, our doors have dedicated gaskets on both the inside and outside to ensure superb air tightness and water tightness as well.
… and a clever water drainage system
A firm water barrier is one way to obtain excellent water tightness, but a thought out water drainage system is crucial as well. In windows, doors, sliding doors, and curtain walls alike, the system makes sure water that enters before the water barrier is led out through special drainage slots, which prevent water from accumulating. Drainage caps cover the slots, but by attaching an extra profile, you can make your drainage system disappear entirely.
