Airclos T8000 ER – Special system for heavy loads of snow and large glass.
Airclos products have been designed to be installed in many different situations. Therefore, each system is aimed at covering very specific needs within the market. To address one of these needs, Airclos introduces its new T8000 ER series.
The main objectives to be achieved with this new system are:
Airclos' roof range, whether retractable or fixed, is carefully designed since, given their role, they are critical elements in any malfunction situation.
Overall, their performance depends mainly on the following factors:
These factors determine the final properties of each roof.
For example, the more windy and snowy the location conditions are, the more the roof's structural elements will be reinforced, even to the extent of using thicker glass.
It is therefore important to know how much the elements to be mounted weight, and how the anchorage points withstand them.
In line with the above, the elements that are part of each project need to be checked. These checks are carried out in accordance with the following regulations:
Taking into account the advantages mentioned above, this system is ideal in the following cases:
The perfect solution for areas that experience highland and/or extreme climates (such as the Swiss Alps or Scandinavia), where in some cases snow loads of up to 700 kg/m² can be reached. Conventional retractable roof solutions are not suitable for such high-load values.
In comparison, it can be stated that the panels of the new T8000 ER series are twice as strong as the conventional T8000-series panels, and the reinforced version is up to 4 times better.
In addition, the new T8000 ER is not only suitable for areas experiencing extreme climate. In more favourable situations, it can cover larger widths with the least amount of intermediate profiles. Thanks to this unique design, glass panels up to 4-m wide can be installed.
