Facade systems
Passive house quality
A passive house does not require an active heating system and therefore relies heavily on the thermal insulation and air-tightness of the façade. Based on the standard series, WICTEC 50 can be used for aluminium/glass façades suitable for passive houses at minimal additional cost. The thermal insulation is improved to passive-house quality with a Uf-value of 0.74 W/m² K when using triplex glass and an easy-to-install thermal break profile, and as a result fulfils the demanding thermal insulation requirements for this type of building.
Advantages of at a glance
- Extension to WICTEC 50 with optimised thermal insulation
- Thermal insulation: Uf-value = 0.74 W/m²K in accordance with EN ISO 10077
- Triplex glass construction suitable for passive houses
- Thermal break profile made of elastomer foam for subsequent use (infill thickness 45 to 51 mm)
- Can be used as ± 5° polygon façade
- System construction identical to standard WICTEC 50
