SOME FEATURES OF THE GLACIER 3300-T
THERMAL BREAK A
polyurethane thermal barrier separates the interior and exterior surfaces on the main
frame and panels to virtually stop heat and cold transmission.
HARDWARE The inside
handle is made of solid, extruded aluminum. The latch is #9226 Maximum Security. There is
no finer latch.
GLAZING The
glazing capacity is 1". This allows for a variety of different types of glass to meet
specific energy requirements. (Also available K/D, no glass, without NFRC labels.)
ISOLATORS In
addition to the thermal-break, PVC "guards" give added protection against
thermal transmission.
TANDEM WHEELS
Each panel rolls effortlessly on a set of two large 13/4"
diameter tandem wheels which are pre-lubricated for life.
DELUXE SCREENS
Strong, durable, hat shaped extruded aluminum screen frames are standard.
OPTIONAL HIGH WATER SILLS When additional
water protection is required, you may specify the optional High-Water Sill Extension. This
raises the inside leg to 27/16".
STAINLESS STEEL TRACKS
The heavy gauge stainless steel track snaps into the recess in the threshold. This
assures smooth rolling panels and long life for the threshold and rollers.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Glacier Series 3300-T is designed for Heavy Commercial projects, including
high-rise buildings. Because of its performance achievements the Glacier is also ideal for
Luxury Residential jobs where strength, beauty, endurance and low U-value are demanded.
Aluminum sliding doors with thermal-break meet all the requirements.
PERFORMANCE RESULTS
I. AAMA: SGD HC-40 to SGD HC-65
II. ENERGY: U-values from .35 to .58 (NFRC)
III. SOUND: Pending
IV. SECURITY: Tested to the standards of AAMA 1303.5, California Model Building Security
Ordinance California Uniform Building Security Code, L.A. City Building Code
HOW THERMAL BREAK WORKS
 This is how it works: A low thermal
conductive material (polyurethane) is poured into a special channel in the aluminum
extrusion. This hardens to form a strong, high density, durable thermal break.
 The only connecting aluminum wall remaining is then removed leaving the low
conductive polyurethane as the only bond between the outside and inside walls of the
extrusion. Heat and cold transition is virtually stopped at this point.
 The thermal break now stands alone as a barrier against heat flow, virtually
preventing condensation build-up on the interior frame. This barrier works effectively to
keep cold out in the winter. and heat out in the summer.
