Custom Architectural Aluminium Glazing

Our in-house structural engineering team performs comprehensive finite element analysis (FEA) and deflection calculations based on local structural design codes (such as ASCE 7, EN 1991, or AS/NZS 1170). We calculate the moment of inertia (Ix and Iy values) required for mullions and transoms under peak positive and negative wind pressures. Where required, profiles are internally reinforced with galvanized steel or thick-walled aluminium sleeves. Furthermore, complete physical mock-ups are tested in certified laboratories to verify structural deflection limits (typically L/175 or L/240) under maximum pressure testing.

We utilize precision-engineered polyamide PA66 strips reinforced with 25% glass fiber (PA66GF25) to mechanically join inner and outer aluminium extrusions, preventing thermal bridging. The cavity between thermal strips is often insulated with expanding polyolefin foam (PE insulation cores). Combined with double or triple-pane Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) featuring warm-edge composite spacers, Low-E low-emissivity coatings, and 90%+ Argon gas fill, our systems prevent interior condensation even under extreme temperature differentials (-30°C outside to +22°C inside) and achieve exceptional overall U-factors (Uw down to 0.8 W/m²K).

Yes. For coastal or highly industrial projects exposed to salt spray and corrosive atmospheres (ISO 12944 C4/C5 categories), Meric Window Systems Co., Ltd. offers specialized surface treatment options. These include Qualicoat Class 2 and Class 3 super-durable architectural powder coatings, as well as Class 20 (20-25 micron thickness) high-grade anodic oxidation finishes. Pre-anodization pretreatment is applied to prevent filiform corrosion beneath powder films, ensuring a 20-to-30-year operational life without chalking, blistering, or surface degradation.

Our custom glazing systems are engineered and tested in accordance with major global standards depending on the project location. This includes North American standards (AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 and ASTM E283 air infiltration, ASTM E331 water penetration, ASTM E330 structural performance), European standards (EN 13830 for curtain walling, EN 12207, EN 12208, EN 12210), and Australian standards (AS 2047 and AS 1288 structural glass calculation). Full test documentation and factory production control certs are supplied during the engineering approval submittal phase.

To prepare an accurate engineering quote and system shop drawings, please provide: 1) Architectural CAD drawings, elevation plans, and window schedules detailing opening dimensions; 2) Structural wind load requirements or project geographic location and building height; 3) Preferred glass specification (e.g., clear, Low-E, acoustic laminated, triple insulated); 4) Surface finish type and RAL color selection; and 5) Any specific hardware, motorization, or local building code compliance requirements. Send your package directly to [email protected] for an engineering review within 24-48 hours.

All finished products undergo rigid multi-stage export packaging. Aluminium frames are coated with protective low-tack film, wrapped in PE foam, and fitted with impact-resistant corner guards. Glass units and assembled window-door panels are loaded into custom-welded heavy-duty steel stillage racks or fumigated plywood crates equipped with rubber vibration dampening strips, internal steel banding, and moisture-absorbing desiccant packs. Each crate is numbered and cross-referenced with your site installation elevation drawings to ensure seamless site handling upon container arrival.
