TS46 CASEMENT WINDOW SYSTEM
TS46 THERM STRIP WINDOW SYSTEM The AMS Thermstrip TS46 window system offers unique patented architectural design features combined with market leading thermal performance. This thermally broken casement window system combines polyurethane resin with an multi chamber isolator core which assist in meeting the thermal requirements of the current building regulations. The suite of profiles have short, long, equal leg and unequal leg sections to accommodate all anticipated framing options. Various other profiles can be designed and incorporated allowing architects to achieve flexible project specific designs. The system can be glazed both internally and externally with double glazed units from 24 to 28mm with fixed pane, side hung and top hung open out configurations. Opening options include: Top hung, side hung, Parallel opening, Horizontal pivot, vertical pivot, tilt and turn. Casement Window Fittings The system is designed to suit heavy duty friction hinges in conjunction with either cockspur handles or an espagnolette all round perimeter multi- locking system.

Security: Tested to BS 7950, Specification for enhanced security performance of windows. Thermal performance: The TS46 window system can achieve window values up to 1.78 W/m2K. Window and project U-values can be calculated and compliance demonstrated using V6 software or finite element analysis software ‘Bisco’. AMS are certified by the BFRC (British Fenestration Rating council) for carrying out thermal simulations and energy rating of window systems and doors. This ensures correct methodology for calculating the thermal performance of window products.
TS46 THERM STRIP WINDOW SYSTEM Colour Options: Polyester Powder Coatings At AMS we can help you bring your design to life with our wide choice of paint colours and finishes. We offer a varied range of Architectural polyester powder coating finishes, including dual colour as standard, that are guaranteed through the ‘Qualicoat’ approved applicator scheme, of which AMS is a continuing member. All polyester powder coating is carried out in house on a state of the art vertical paint line. Our eight stage chromate free pre-treatment process meets all of the latest environmental legislation and ensures a quality finish and service every time.
Decoral The Decoral system is a process of applying a wood grain effect onto aluminium profiles. Decroal has all the aesthetics and texture of wood but has a major advantage in it has none of the associated maintenance costs. We offer a 10 year guarantee on wood grain finishes and due to popular demand our portfolio of wood grain options is ever increasing. Available finishes include: Mahogany, Golden oak, Dark oak, Natural oak, Teak, Raw teak, Teak softwood, Chestnut, Oregon, Natural Oregon, Yellow Oregon, Oregon pine, Knotty pine, Natural maple, Cinnamon.
