3. Product Description
! Structura® is the name of a range of point-fixed glazing systems developed by AGC.
Structura structural glazing systems consist of various types of glazing and the
necessary fittings.
! Structura DUO is an optimal facade system, specifically designed for insulated
double-glazing.
4. Product Description
! Structura DUO+ features a special new composite material which replaces the
aluminium ring spacer, thus improving the spacer and seal.
! Structura DUO+ is the new generation of Structura DUO for cold climates, designed
to prevent condensation on metallic fixtures and thus ensure that it can comply with
regulations prevailing in northern European countries.
! Structura DUO+ reduces thermal bridges and therefore heat loss.
6. Performance & Benefits
! The new Structura DUO+ system has a high thermal transmittance value; Uw (U
value for the facade: glass & window system) value of 1.3!
• Better than most standard facade solutions in aluminium
• Opens up new opportunities for architects to design major projects in cold climates
• No condensation on inner surfaces in areas with a cold climate
(for following conditions: ext. temp. -15°C; int. temp. +20°C; humidity 45-60%)
• Ideal for large areas requiring maximum light and transparency
7. Performance & Benefits
! Provides a broad view of the surrounding environment
! Thin and insulated gap between adjacent panes
! Perfectly smooth surface on the outside
! Gas filling possibility (argon, krypton, etc.) to decrease
the Ug value and thus improve thermal insulation
! Independant structural behavior of glass panes
! Static and dynamic loads taken by both glasses
! Fast and easy installation for experienced installer
! Suitable for freeform 3D structures (trapeziums)
