Pultruded Fenestrations - UK
Commissioned by a leading manufacturer of steel window and door-frames.
Steel frames are specified by architects in many refurbishments and
prestige new builds. The benefits are good torsional rigidity and
relatively slim sight lines, allowing panes with a high glass to frame
ratio. The project showed that pultrusion offers a possible solution
to the thermal break limitations of traditional steel windows.
Swing Door Frame - UK
This project involved designing a pultrudable profile, used to form
the frame for a swing door with flexible infill. Die, in-feed and
associated processing equipment were designed, procured and successfully
commissioned.
Design of Pultrusion Machinery - US
Working as part of team developing a new range of pultrusion machines.
Input on areas such as user friendliness, die heating and temperature
control, and die mounting was provided. Involvement in machine proving
trials, through to full 24/7 production runs.
