WICTEC 50 HI

Passive house does not require an active heating system and therefore relies heavily on the thermal insulation and air-tightness of the façade. Based on the standard series, WICTEC 50 HI is certified for aluminium/glass façades suitable for passive houses at minimal additional cost. The thermal insulation exceeds the benchmark requirements of passive-house, with a Uf value of 0.65 W/(m²K) thanks to easy-to-install special thermal break profiles in combination with triple glazing.

Technical Specifications

System Overview of WICTEC 50 HI

  • Optimized thermally insulated version of the standard WICTEC 50 facade
  • Certified by the IFT Institute Rosenheim as a component for passive buildings according to the IFT Guidance
    Document RI WA 15/1, with a Ucw value of 0.7 W / (m²K)
  • Triple glazing suitable for passive buildings, with an infill thickness of up to 63 mm
  • Thermally improved insulating profiles for retrofitting
  • System construction identical to the standard WICTEC 50 facade
  • Perfect for vertical and polygonal facades, sloped glazing and spatial structures
  • Personalized design thanks to a wide choice of aesthetic profiles
  • Reliable load transmission for glazing (up to 6.0 kN), with suitable cross member junction principle
  • Drainage by reliable overlap at the crossing point, without mechanical treatment of the uprights, for a tested and guaranteed tightness
  • Uniform appearance of interior joints
  • Large choice of structural profiles, with optional full reinforcements, for optimum performance
