Janisol
Arte 2.0, the second-generation renovation window from steel systems specialist
Schueco Jansen, is proving popular with architects because of its enhanced
specification, improved performance characteristics and ability to satisfy the
aesthetic concerns of local authority planners and conservation officers.
Now
being seen as the preferred solution for many refurbishment projects,
especially those involving a listed building, elegantly ‘retro’ Janisol Arte
2.0 offers an enlarged range of profiles with slim sight-lines from 25 mm.
A
wider choice of glazing bead shapes – right-angled, bevelled, scotia and flat –
makes it even easier to find an exact match for the steel windows being
replaced.
Furthermore,
since laser-welded profiles can now be added to standard Arte profiles, mullion
spans can be significantly increased, so enabling the Janisol Arte 2.0 window
to accommodate much larger areas of fenestration.
Available
in all the opening types commonly encountered in both pre- and post-war
industrial buildings, maximum vent weights have increased to 150 kg thanks to
the introduction of state-of-the-art, 3D adjustable stainless steel hinges.
Another
benefit is that simpler fabrication techniques reduce manufacturing time by up
to 85%, meaning that six and a half Janisol Arte 2.0 vents can be produced in
the time it took to make a single vent in the previous system.
Special
new foam profiles located between the glass and the frame mean that the
insulation in the Janisol Arte 2.0 window has been significantly enhanced and
following the introduction of insert profiles – which also speed up fabrication
times – results in drainage that is even more reliable.
In
addition, because all Janisol Arte 2.0 profiles now go through the latest ZF
100 galvannealed hot-dip process, corrosion resistance has been improved and
processing weldability enhanced.
Finally,
as well as standard, premium-quality steel profiles, clients can opt for
Janisol Arte 2.0 profiles in high-grade austenitic 1.4401 stainless steel or
Corten steel, completing a specification that is thought to be unmatched by any
other renovation window on the market.
