What is the MB-SR50N HI aluminum facade?
The MB-SR50N HI system is an advanced facade solution designed to create lightweight curtain walls, roofs, skylights, and spatial structures. This mullion-transom system stands out in the market with exceptional energy efficiency and the possibility of application in various projects.
Key features and application of the system
MB-SR50N HI is based on the proven MB-SR50N construction, enhanced by the introduction of a special thermal insulation zone with two-component insulators. The system enables creating structures with aesthetic, narrow division lines while maintaining the highest strength parameters. The thermal transmittance coefficient of 0.94-1.94 W/m²K makes the facade perfectly meet the requirements of buildings with high energy standards.
Tests conducted at the IFT Rosenheim Institute confirm the reliability of the system in key parameters:
- Air infiltration: class AE 1200 (EN 12152)
- Rainwater tightness: class RE1500 (EN 12154)
- Wind load resistance: 2.4 kN/m² (EN 13116:2002)
- Impact resistance: class I5/E5 (PN-EN 14019)
Thanks to these parameters, the MB-SR50N HI facade is used in office buildings, public facilities, and modern residential construction, where customers expect both aesthetic values and the highest technical quality.
Structure and components of the facade
The key element of the MB-SR50N HI system is a special HPVC insulator (or a set of insulators selected according to width), which ensures precise screw guidance during installation. Thermal efficiency is significantly increased by additional elements made of elastic material, glued to the side surfaces of the insulator, which effectively limit the airflow between the facade fillings.
The construction combines the ease of installation typical for traditional facades with exceptional thermal parameters. The system allows for the use of various fillings, including large-format glass and double-chamber insulating glass units. For optimal results in HI series facades, it is recommended to use windows and doors with increased thermal insulation from the MB-70HI system.
Differences between MB-SR50N HI and standard systems
MB-SR50N HI stands out from standard solutions with a special thermal insulation zone using two-component insulators. While typical facade systems are based on simple HPVC insulators, the HI system contains additional elements made of elastic material, which significantly improve thermal parameters.
MB-SR50N HI facades are certified according to the Harmonized European Standard “PN-EN 13830 Curtain walling – Product standard”, which confirms their quality and reliability. The system responds to current trends in architecture, offering the possibility of flush alignment of mullion and transom profiles from the inside and various options for the external appearance, which is a significant advantage over standard solutions.
Technical parameters and energy efficiency
Modern facade systems must meet rigorous technical standards to truly benefit users. The MB-SR50N HI facade stands out with exceptional parameters that make it one of the most effective solutions available to customers.
Heat transfer coefficient (0.85-1.94 W/m²K)
The key advantage of the MB-SR50N HI facade is its excellent thermal insulation. The heat transfer coefficient (Uf) reaches values from 0.85 to 1.94 W/m²K, depending on the selected profiles and accessories. This impressive result was achieved through the use of special two-component insulators.
The system is based on an HPVC insulator, whose side surfaces are enriched with additional elements made of elastic material. This solution effectively minimizes airflow between facade fillings, directly improving thermal properties.
The MB-SR50N HI+ version offers even better parameters thanks to the use of PE material insulator. This allows achieving Uf values even at the level of 0.59 W/m²K, which makes the system perfect for passive buildings.
Resistance to weather conditions (class RE1500)
The MB-SR50N HI facade provides exceptional protection against adverse weather conditions. Rainwater tightness classified as RE1500 according to EN 12154 guarantees the highest level of protection against water penetration, even during intense rainfall.
The system is also characterized by high resistance to wind load – 2.4 kN/m² according to EN 13116:2002. This parameter is particularly important for high-rise buildings and structures exposed to strong winds.
Acoustic insulation and safety
MB-SR50N HI offers not only excellent thermal insulation but also effective acoustic protection. This property is invaluable in commercial and office buildings located in noisy urban areas.
In terms of safety, the system has achieved impact resistance class I5/E5 according to PN-EN 14019. The MB-SR50N HI facade is also available in a fire-resistant version with EI 30 and EI 60 fire classification, making it suitable for buildings with elevated safety standards.
All the above parameters have been confirmed by certificates of compliance with European standards, giving customers confidence in the quality and durability of the solution used.
Practical applications in various types of buildings
