Why Choose FrontGLAZE™?
FrontGLAZE™ is a commercial aluminium framing system that positions the glass towards the exterior face of the frame.
Compared with centre-glazed framing, this arrangement reduces the amount of aluminium projecting beyond the external glass line. It creates a streamlined exterior while producing a deeper frame reveal on the internal side.
Near-Flush External Appearance
Positioning the glass close to the exterior face minimises visible frame projection and creates clean, contemporary façade lines.
Weather Performance
Selected FrontGLAZE™ systems incorporate splayed external surfaces, concealed drainage and compatible seals to support reliable weather performance.
Compatible Windows and Doors
FrontGLAZE™ framing can integrate with selected awning, casement, sliding and double-hung windows, along with compatible hinged and commercial door systems.
Frequently Asked Questions.
What is FrontGLAZE™ framing?
FrontGLAZE™ is an aluminium framing system that positions the glass close to the external face of the frame. This reduces exterior frame projection and creates clean, glass-forward façade lines.
Is FrontGLAZE™ completely flush on the outside?
The glass is positioned near the exterior face, creating minimal external frame projection. The exact relationship between the glass and surrounding aluminium depends on the selected system and configuration.
What is the difference between FrontGLAZE™ and CentreGLAZE™?
FrontGLAZE™ positions the glass closer to the exterior face of the framing. CentreGLAZE™ positions the glass nearer the centre, creating more balanced frame depth on both sides.
The right system depends on the preferred sightlines, glazing requirements and overall façade design.
Can FrontGLAZE™ framing be double glazed?
Yes. Dedicated 102mm and 150mm double-glazed FrontGLAZE™ systems are available for compatible insulating glass units.
Is thermally broken FrontGLAZE™ framing available?
Yes. Some FrontGLAZE™ systems incorporate an insulating barrier between the internal and external aluminium sections.
Are acoustic FrontGLAZE™ systems available?
Yes. SoundOUT™ FrontGLAZE™ framing can accommodate specialist acoustic glazing for buildings affected by external noise. The result depends on the complete glass, framing, seals and installation specification.
Where can FrontGLAZE™ framing be used?
FrontGLAZE™ can be used for shopfronts, offices, showrooms, hospitality venues, educational facilities, commercial buildings and selected premium residential projects.
Can doors and opening windows be incorporated?
Yes. FrontGLAZE™ framing can integrate with compatible commercial doors and selected awning, casement, sliding and double-hung windows.
