After extensive research and consultation with key supply partners, Comar Architectural Aluminium Systems unveil the new Comar 9Pi High Performance Framing, Window and Door System.

The extensive market research indicated that a thermally efficient futureproof façade system was required, with off site manufacture and value engineering solutions that actively seek to reduce material content. Comar 9Pi high performance framing offers two options of construction: ladder frame or mitre frame. 9Pi windows and 9Pi doors hang directly from the frame, reducing the need for additional outer frames, creating a truly integrated solution. Building typologies differ from refurbishment to new build, so Comar 9Pi has profile widths of 80mm or 120mm creating greater design flexibility.

There are three levels of thermal performance: Standard Pi, Enhanced Pi and Thermal Foam, creating U-values of between 1.6 to 1.0 for a typical grid size with opening vents. Comar 9Pi has slim 50mm sight lines, the smallest sight lines for fixed light, to ensure that architecturally demanded aesthetics are achieved.

Glazing lines are flush, maintaining consistent lines for a sleek external façade providing straight interfacing with walls, internal floors and partitions. Consideration is also given for plaster lines with profiles tocater for differing situations. Comar 9Pi windows can be open-in or open-out side, top or bottom hung and a tilt and turn option offering unobtrusive top light ventilation.

Comar 5Pi Vertical Sliding Windowsand Horizontal Windows can be integrated into the Comar 9Pi framing. Glazing sizes have been catered for up to 62mm. This means that future requirements for high performing acoustic or triple glazed solutions can be specified.

Comar 2 Window Walling

Comar 2 Window Walling was developed in conjunction with Local Authorities to provide a cost effective alternative to low rise curtain walling. The close development of Comar 2 with local authorities has resulted in over £100 million of completed projects and the system is now the market leading window walling system in the UK. Comar 2 is a versatile window walling system, which provides framing with slim sight lines for use in medium rise projects.

For the most demanding design briefs profiles are designed for maximum strength to weight ratios and special high span mullions are available. COMAR 2 is available in a two part channel and plate mullion which clip together to form100mm x 45mm or 100mm x 30mm box section, with co-ordinating 98mm transoms.

The versatility of COMAR 2 includes 3 way glazing profiles, 90 and 135 degree corners and variable angle façades.

COMAR 2 incorporates a wide range of beads which means that panels and glass from 4mm to 71mm can be glazed, either internally or externally into the same façades.

Thermally broken, COMAR 2 integrates with COMAR 5 and 5lt to provide tilt and turn, pivot, side hung, top and bottom hung opening vents. For a full façade solution the comprehensive range of COMAR 7 doors can be incorporated.

Doors can be hung directly to Comar 2, on overhead, concealed closers incorporating a hanging stile anti-finger trap for protection. If automatic doors are required Comar's unique door beams offer aesthetically pleasing finished applications. This means that the same slim sightlines can be maintained throughout the project.
