Glazpartners 2025
New Products From Glazpart
Glazpart launched several new products at FIT Show in April with the highlights being the Bi-Fold Vent and the MSBP( Multi-System Bridge Packer).
Both products captured the interest of visitors at FIT Show with live demonstrations of how the Bi-Fold Vent works and looks plus free sample giveaways of MSBPs.
The new products are a result of Glazpart listening to customers and focusing on their needs.
MSBP DESIGNED FOR UPVC FABRICATORS
The new MSBP has been designed and
manufactured for use across multiple window and door systems including:
• Eurocell – Logic M70
• VEKA – M70 / Fully Sculptured / Omnia
• VEKA HALO – System 10 / Rustique
• Liniar – Chamfered Feature
• Deceuninck – 2500 / 2800
• REHAU – Total 70
• Kommerling – C70 / 070
• Aluplast – Ideal 70 / Ideal 4000
For several years standard bridge packers have become a key design accessory in UPVC systems and provides a flat surface for the use of setting flat packers whilst ensuring the water escape and ventilation routes around the insulated glazed units are maintained.
As well as its great versatility, Glazpart’ s
MSBP has several key features including:
• An easy clip mechanism to secure into position and remain fixed without the need for silicone
• Assurance that any water ingress into the glazing channel will run below MSBP and out via the window or door drainage system and stops water / moisture build up and freezing in the winter
• Prevention of water from contact with the Insulating Glazing Unit( IGU) maintaining a distance between the water and IGU edge
• Easy and clean installation
• Convenience for fabricators working with several systems
Designed to fully integrate with the Glazpart Glazing Accessories range which includes products such as flat packers, frame packers and drainage hole covers, the MSBP also has the same functional benefits as Glazpart’ s current range of bridge packers.
THE BI-FOLD VENT
The new Glazpart Bi-Fold Vent is a welcome introduction to the market as aluminium bi-fold doors continue to be increasingly popular.
The Bi-Fold Vent has a unique low-profile design to allow both the internal vent and louvered grille to sit between the open concertinaed door leaves. Moulded from high quality virgin ASA the vents are highly heat and colour stable when compared to uPVC.
The vent is designed for compliance to the building regulations with the independently tested equivalent area, it sits in a 16mm rout and in many cases, can be located directly into the door leaf, removing the need for a“ knock on” or extended profile which can interfere with the plaster line and impact sightlines as profiles become slimmer.
The internal closure plates of the Bi-Fold Door Vent clip onto a uniquely designed low prolife chassis which in turn clips within the aluminium profile, so only the height of the lids protrude from the profile. The chassis is supplied in either white or black dependant on the colour of the patented closure plates with their innovative vertical closure plates.
The external section has a new louvered design, to give the minimum amount of protrusion from the face of the profile. The louvred flyscreen will sit beneath the reveal giving additional protection from the elements.
It is worth noting, the louvre grille is not designed for fitting to window profiles especially with the trend for low profile( sightlines) which will struggle to accept a 16 mm rout.
Initially available in White, Black and Anthracite Grey in standard sets( internal vent has colour on colour or colour on white options), bespoke and matching colours will be manufactured to order in the future.
On Glazpart’ s focus on new products this year, Dean Bradley, Glazpart Sales Director explains:“ The growth in the aluminium bi-fold door sector over the last few years, has resulted in Glazpart conducting thorough market research and collaboration with many of our customers looking for component and ventilation solutions. The MSBP and the Bi-Fold Vent are welcome additions to our product range.”
The Bi-Fold Vent is now available for pre-order. For more information and prices, please contact your Glazpart Account Manager or email Dean Bradley dbradley @ glazpart. co. uk
