Cross-section dimensions of VST 56×30

Description

VST 56×30 is the size to choose for profile systems with a 56 mm mounting width. At a 30 mm mounting height it resolves the ordinary lower junction and can also serve as a frame extender.

Application

As a support profile in PVC and aluminium translucent structures, to improve the thermophysical properties of the lower junction. Additionally — as a frame extender.

Frequently asked questions

Which profile width do I need?

The first number in the article code is the width of the thermal-break support profile, and it follows the mounting depth of the profile system. The manufacturer draws the lower joint for every system and shows there which size fits it. Check your system on the compatibility page before ordering.

What length is supplied, and how much of it is usable?

A bar is 1200 mm. The working length, after the mounting allowance, is 1180 mm, and that is the figure the requirement per opening is calculated from. All 9 sizes ship in the same length; only the cross section differs.

Does it take up moisture at the lower joint?

Water absorption is 0.5 % after long-term immersion, measured to EN 13163. It matters more here than in the wall field: condensate and moisture from wet trades collect at the lower joint, and the material sits under the frame for the service life of the window.

What reaction-to-fire class does the profile have?

Class E, to EN 13501-1. The value is the same across every size because the material is the same. An element class does not describe the assembly: fire safety requirements for a project are checked on the whole joint, together with the window and the surrounding insulation.

What does the classification code on the data sheet mean?

The code EPS-EN 13163-CS(10)1900-WL(T)0.5 is the EPS designation under EN 13163. It names the material, the standard, the compressive strength at 10% deformation and the water absorption after long-term immersion, the same values as the specification table, written in the form CE marking requires. It compares directly with another manufacturer's designation.
