EFP 55 W&D range is a pressure equalised, fully drained, if desired a thermally broken system which consists of 55 mm or 100mm deep frames & vents. Various alternative profiles with slim side lines from 24-30-40 and 50mm are available for this system.
The smallest sight line can be achieved using a 24mm wide Frame + 40mm Vent and have externally a typical minimum edge radius of 0.5mm, edge radii for even distribution of the powder coating layer.

Specification summary continued:
- Glazing—The system is glazed from the inside or outside. Glass should conform the requirements of BS 6262 for thickness and type, in terms of wind resistance, safety and security.
- Drainage–The system is fully drained & pressure equalised, achieved by meeting the requirements of “Ventilated and drained glazing system” as specified in BS 6262
- Frame / Vent Glazing depth is 55mm, standard glazing thickness from 4 to 40mm
- Thermal insulation–Standard configuration: Class 3.0 in accordance with DIN 4108 (3.0-3.5 W m2 K) or EN ISO 10077-1 - Uf Value up to 2.5 W/m2K = (EFP 55tb + EFP 65tb)
- The thermal transmittance ( Uf ) W/m2 K, is depending on the insulator strip, this as calculated as per EN ISO 10077-1. Comparable with class 2.3 DIN 4108-4 Table 3
- Sound insulation–Depending largely upon the glass specification, generally the window framing reduces the figure by 2-4db (A)
- Materials–The system is constructed from extruded aluminium profiles, using alloy 6063 complying the requirements of BS 1474.
- Construction–Any instructions regarding the manufacture and installation of the system must be strictly adhered to.
- Weathering–Glazing vision strips are made of EPDM conforming to BS 4255 Part 1.
- Performance / exposure category The system has been designed according to the latest EN standards and will meet the highest levels when manufactured, installed and glazed to EFP recommended procedures.
- Size limitations–The size limitation of the system depends mainly on vent sizes versus ironmongery and on the mullion/transom members used to suit the span, spacing and wind/dead loads, which are specific for each individual project
- Window Types The systems consist many different window types like: side hung, top & bottom hung, tilt & turn glazed from inside or outside, opening inside or outside, concealed vents, horizontally + vertically pivoting etc.
- Door Types The system consist of many different door types like: single & double doors, swing doors, structural glazed doors, opening in or outwards etc.
- Hardware or Ironmongry (hinges / handles / locks etc) The “Euro Groove” system has been designed around and does comply with most commonly used European brands.
