Engineering Commercial-Grade Thermal Break Aluminum Fixed Picture Windows Engineered for Hyper-Arid Desert Climates, High Wind Loads, and SASO 2874 Structural Compliance.
Send Inquiry NowEngineered for high thermal resistance, sandstorm sealing, and structural rigidity across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and NEOM architectural specifications.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is undergoing an unprecedented architectural renaissance driven by Saudi Vision 2030, encompassing iconic mega-developments such as NEOM, the Red Sea Project, Qiddiya, and extensive commercial housing expansions in Riyadh and Dammam. Central to these architectural benchmarks is the stringent requirement for exterior envelope performance, specifically regarding building heat gain, structural stability against intense desert sandstorms, and compliance with the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO 2874).
Fixed windows (also designated as picture non-operable fenestration units) serve as a cornerstone for modern Middle Eastern commercial and high-end residential facade designs. By removing mechanical sash joints, fixed window systems provide superior airtightness, maximized natural daylight ingress, and unmatched structural resistance against ambient temperatures exceeding 50°C and severe wind pressures up to 4.0 kPa in coastal corniches.
Deploying structural aluminum profiles engineered specifically to solve extreme thermal expansion, dust infiltration, and UV radiation degradation in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
Standard aluminum framing conducts thermal energy rapidly, causing internal cooling loss. Our Saudi-grade fixed windows feature PA66-GF25 (25% Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyamide) thermal strips spanning 24mm to 34mm. This creates a structural thermal isolation barrier that prevents exterior frame heat from transferring inside, drastically lowering HVAC consumption.
Glazing units are optimized with double-silver or triple-silver magnetron sputter-coated Low-Emissivity (Low-E) glass. Configured with 6mm Toughened Solar Control + 12A/16A Argon Gas + 6mm Clear Clear Double-Glazed Insulating Glass Units (IGUs), these systems reflect up to 78% of infrared radiation while maintaining high visible light transmittance (VLT).
Microscopic sand particles during Saudi desert sandstorms (Haboobs) compromise standard window seals. We utilize continuous, vulcanized EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) sealing gaskets combined with structural silicone sealant (Dow Corning / Sika), ensuring zero dust penetration and water tightness up to 600 Pa under driving rain.
