Technical Information

Veka window and door profiles are made from UPVC classified as high impact resistant. This material has been proven in the field for more than 30 years. The UPVC profiles incorporate multi-chambered designs, which provide excellent insulating characteristics, resist condensation and separates drainage from reinforcement. All profile walls are .110-.126" (2.8-3.2mm) thick and all hardware mounting screws are attached through at least two profile walls or a screw boss for excellent tear and shear resistance. The system utilizes the proven twin compression seal, which ensures excellent air and water tightness even after many years of use. Sash to frame overlapping further reduces air and sound infiltration. Special sill and sub-frame profiles are available for renovation and replacement work. A full selection of complementary profiles, such as a bay/bow window adaptor, sills, etc., can be fitted to the lugs of the frame profile.

Veka Window & Door Systems has been tested structurally in accordance with SBCCI-test standards for wind borne debris SSTD 12-99 Dade County PA201-94, PA202-94, PA203-94 and ASTM D4099.
