PANEL & SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT NAME:
GlazeGuard® 250
Opaque Glazing Panels
OVERVIEW:
GlazeGuard® 250 is a composite
panel made by laminating either
textured or smooth aluminum skins
(or porcelain enamel steel) to a
tempered hardboard substrate.
Panels are furnished with a
strippable film (or interleafed
microfoam) on the painted surfaces
to protect the finish during shipment
and installation.
GlazeGuard® 250 is installed in
aluminum glazing/storefront channels
(typically on setting blocks) and
sealed using gaskets. No mechanical
fasteners or adhesives are used
in the installation of the panel.
BASIC USES & APPLICATIONS:
As an alternative or complement
to glass, GlazeGuard® panels
provide an excellent choice for use
as glazing infill, spandrel panels,
modesty screens, and railing inserts.
These panels are typically used on
various types of buildings including
schools and universities, retail
complexes, storefront conditions
etc... However, with an impact
resistant core, GlazeGuard® 250
panels are ideal for any other
application where durability and
safety are concerns.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS:
GlazeGuard® panels are designed to
be installed in glazing channels or
other similar type channels where all four edges are sealed. The panels
are not eligible for use as a wall
cladding or system. No moldings are
available with GlazeGuard® panels.
SYSTEM FINISHES:
GlazeGuard® 250 panels are
available with either smooth or
textured prefinished aluminum or
porcelain enamel steel skins.
Standard colors in textured skins are
offered with a coil coated polyester.
Premium colors are also available
with an acrylic urethane coating.
Smooth standard and metallic colors
are furnished with a durable Kynar
500® coating. Anodized finishes are
also standard.
Whether smooth or textured, both
finishes can be ordered in custom
colors to match customers’ standard.
Porcelain enamel steel is available in
both standard and premium colors.
