PANEL & SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT NAME:
GlazeGuard® 250 WR
Water Resistant Opaque Glazing Panels
OVERVIEW:
GlazeGuard® 250 WR is a composite
panel made by laminating either
textured or smooth aluminum skins to a high density polypropylene core.
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 a water resistant
composition and a variety of finish
options, GlazeGuard® 250 WR
panels are ideal for other applications
such as areas where moisture
intrusion is a key concern.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS:
GlazeGuard® panels are designed to
be installed in glazing channels or other similar type channels where
all four edges are sealed. These
panels are not eligible for use as a
wall cladding and should not be used
in low grade areas with heavy traffic.
No moldings are available with
GlazeGuard® panels.
SYSTEM FINISHES:
GlazeGuard® 250 WR panels are
available with either smooth or
textured prefinished aluminum.
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.
