The Forster thermfix vario is a mullion/transom curtain wall system with a thermal break, based on the dry-glazing system. The inner steel or stainless steel profiles perform the structural bearing function, with large spans possible, even with fire resistance levels up to -/90/90 (walls).
Clip on external glazing beads are available in steel, stainless steel or aluminium, while the internal steel structural frame can be painted or powdercoated to suit the building design requirements.
Materials
