Capoferri Serramenti PLATHÉA Lift and slide metal thermal break window

Plathéa, the new line of lift&slide windows comprised of extremely thin profiles, capable of thermal insulation, resistance to wind loads and insulation from water infiltration, meeting the highest standards of the trade.‎ The combined width of the Plathéa profile can be reduced to a mere 35mm, merging design requirements, aesthetics and technical performance into a solution without compromise that provides absolute quality.‎ The system is based on Capoferri’s successful “lift&slide” technology, comes in stainless steel, true bronze or painted steel and can accept both double-glazed and triple-glazed glass units.‎ Designed to withstand wind loads ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 Pa (hurricane) Plathéa features a mechanical thermal break, special gaskets and custom silicone joints to guarantee maximum performance when it comes to air, water and wind resistance.‎ The lifting hardware is made from stainless steel and is concealed in a recessed floor box.‎ While lifting the window panels is always motor-driven, the sliding movement can be either manual or automated.‎ Each production phase is carried out in-house in Capoferri’s metal plant and wood workshop, from the production of custom hardware to the moulding of special silicone gaskets.‎ This is the secret of Capoferri’s approach to total quality: To maintain full and direct control over all phases of production, from engineering to installation on site.‎ Each window comes with a certificate which indicates thermal insulation (Uwindow) and wind resistance, showing the maximum deflection allowed based on the requested wind loads (measured in relation to the actual panel sizes).‎ As with all Capoferri systems, Plathéa not only has obtained all necessary certifications with regard to resistance and insulation.‎ It has outperformed the most stringent code requirements and is currently in the process of testing and certification for Miami DADE Notice of Acceptance.‎ Further info from manufacturer on PLATHÉA Capoferri Serramenti
