In the highly regulated European construction market, compliance with technical standards is not just a legal requirement but a hallmark of quality and safety. At AluVentura, we ensure our polymer seals and profiles meet the most stringent norms.

EN 14351-1: Windows and Doors

EN 14351-1 This standard defines the performance characteristics for windows and external pedestrian doorsets. It covers essential aspects such as:

• Watertightness: Preventing water ingress under pressure.
• Air Permeability: Controlling air leakage to improve energy efficiency.
• Wind Load Resistance: Ensuring structural integrity under wind pressure.

EN 12365:2003: Gasket and Weatherstripping

EN 12365:2003 Specifically for building hardware, this standard classifies gaskets and weatherstripping based on their performance.

• Compression Set:Ability to return to original shape.
• Working Temperature Range:Performance across temperature extremes.
• Recovery:Speed of shape recovery after compression.
• Material Quality:Resistance to aging and weathering.

Our seals adhere to the highest classifications within this standard, ensuring longevity.

DIN EN 13830: Curtain Walling

For modern facades, DIN EN 13830 sets the product standard for curtain walling kits.

• Thermal Transmittance:Minimizing heat loss.
• Sound Insulation:Reducing noise pollution.
• Fire Resistance:Ensuring safety in high-rise buildings.
• Impact Resistance:Durability against physical forces.

We provide profiles that are integral to achieving high-performance ratings in these system tests.

DIN 7863-1: Elastomer Properties

DIN 7863-1 This standard specifies the requirements for non-cellular elastomer gaskets used in window and door construction.

• Hardness (Shore A):Consistency in material rigidness.
• Tensile Strength:Resistance to breaking under tension.
• Elongation at Break:Flexibility limits.
• Compression Set:Long-term sealing capability.
• Ozone Resistance:Prevention of cracking due to environmental exposure.

Regional Specifics: BS and NAFS

Beyond EU norms, we cater to specific regional requirements:

• UK: BS 6375 series for performance of windows and doors.
• North America: NAFS (North American Fenestration Standard) for structural and environmental performance.
• Australia: AS 2047 for windows and glazed doors.

Why Compliance Matters

Using certified products protects your reputation and ensures building safety.

• Legal Protection:Mitigates liability risks.
• Market Access:Required for selling in major markets.
• Customer Trust:Demonstrates commitment to quality.
• Longevity:Reduces maintenance and replacement costs.
