Market Leading Designs

Strength Meets Style with Superior Thermal Performance

Our market-leading low rise aluminium single glazed systems have been technologically developed over many years to become the quality product it is today. It incorporates a wealth of interacting components which makes it durable and versatile with great flexibility in design.

We provide Comar 6 curtain walling that is fitted with high span mullions and transoms giving you fabulous performance in a commercial, educational, or leisure setting. This curtain wall system can be adapted for single-storeys as well as high-rises in Southampton with expansion brackets, trame horizontal, and roof glazing options like pyramid, barrel vaults, sloped roofs, canopies, faceted, and curved facades.

Our Comar 6EFT system offers a ladder frame assembly, put together in the factory in modules. These have step cut transoms that are fixed to mullion, along with optional brackets and self-tapping screws.

You can also opt for a stick built which is supposed to be a fast-track installation. In this case, the glazed curtain wall is assembled on the site with the mullion first followed by front-loading transoms. This curtain wall system is pressure equalised, giving you a free-draining installation.

Thermally Efficient Curtain Walling

High-Strength, Contemporary, and Thermally Advanced

We offer highly heat-efficient curtain walling that complies with the requirements of the British Standard Code of Practice for Glazing. In fact, you can be sure that our aluminium systems will meet the current standards listed in Building Regulations Document L.

Our Comar 6EFT profile is glazed from the outside with pressure plates and pressure plate gaskets on the inside. This inner seal glazing blocks out air and water from getting inside. While the system allows some amount of water to enter, it also incorporates drainage diverters that help draw away the water out.

The system uses toggle panes with an EPDM or silicone seal. The glazing vision strips, too, are made of EPDM. What’s more, the gaskets give you a high-precision installation with injection-moulded corner mouldings.

Similarly, the Comar 6 system also gives you exceptional thermal performance through a two-part system that has pressure plates added. These help to secure the glazed elements and come with a cover cap that acts as a thermal break. As a result, you get a curtain walling system that is weathertight as well as well-insulated.
