Curtain Walls
Thermfix Vario is the system for thermally insulated, internal and external grade, curtain walls and skylights comprising of mild steel profiles, stainless steel pressure plates and
aluminium or stainless-steel cover caps.
The system boasts very narrow sightlines, with 45mm depth and has been tested for all aspects of safety, security and weather performance. Thermfix Vario is an extremely versatile system, as the performance can be altered simply by changing the glass.
The system has been comprehensively tested to both the European and North American standards for fire resistance, balistic, burglary, and blast protection. The system is listed
and labelled by M/S Intertek - a well-renown independent third-party certification body - and is approved by the Civil Defense authorities across the GCC.
