A stick-frame assembly with weather performance achieved by drainage and ventilation of the glazing rebates. Drainage and ventilation occurs at every mullion and transom connection in a zone drained system and at the base and above mullion joints in a mullion drained system.
The system is available in a variety of mullion depths which combined with several thermal break options, including an enhanced thermal performance option, and aesthetic external capping allows a specifier the flexibility of design to make their own statement. The system has outstanding performance and its ease of installation makes it possible to suit individual project requirements.
The AA®100 is suitable for vertical and sloped applications including faceted walls.
To provide complete design flexibility the AA®100 is also available as a Horizontally Capped system, a Vertically Capped system, a Structurally Silicone Glazed system and a Fire Resistant system.
