R54 Facade System
R54 is a completely new system and thus is not directly based on any Nordic Aluminium R system. The design work is aimed at achieving a result whose tightness, ease of installation and thermal insulation capabilities would can meet today's high and challenging standards.
The system frame is primarily built using a lap joint technique, where the transverse frame profile is lapped over the upright frame profile. The R54 system profiles have channels for draining off possible condensate water from the rebates. A security chamber has been moulded in the upright profile, which forms levels on the frame profiles through which no screws or brackets pass. The resulting bi-level structure has clearly separated dry and wet sides. An end-to-end joint technique can also be used in the R54 system; in this case, transverse frame profiles are used.
The inner and outer gaskets in the R54 system have two hardnesses: the gasket corners are made of softer, cellular EPDM rubber, and the actual gasket is made of EPDM rubber, which ensures tightness. There are two types of outer gaskets, horizontal and vertical. The width of the outer gaskets is 50 mm. Where they cross, the outer gaskets lap over each other, and thus form a solid and continuous sealing at the crossing points. The gaskets do not obstruct the light hole at all.
The material thicknesses and other properties of the thermal breaks have been designed to achieve the best thermal insulation performance possible.
The architraves are the same as those used in the R53 system, which means that all architraves in the R53 system are included in the R54 system selection as such. Separate support profiles are used for glass support, which transmit the dead load of the glass to the transverse frame.
The thermic properties of the new R54 system are well- suited to the cold Northern conditions. In computer modelling, the average U value of a 3K4-15 window (size 1200 mm x 1200 mm) using R54 frames was 1.19 W/m2K.
The R54 system also includes glass facades without mouldings R54SG, where the glass panes are attached mechanically at the ends of the insulation glass elements. The system allows building the glazing as a four-sided construction which has no mouldings at all, or a two-sided construction which has either vertical or horizontal mouldings.
The R54 system can also be used in light ceilings if there is no need for outer condensate channels. The system includes solutions for glass walls with alternating angles, like curved facades designed using a fraction line. The R54 profiles with alternating angles enable free angle changes of 0°-10° in a wall.
