The EDGE |s| was designed for luxury home applications anywhere in the world.
Water Performance:
With its unique Arche-Duct drain system, the EDGE |s| far exceeds residential water performance needs and does so with a narrow 5/8” Keel Slot and 3/16″ Slot Drain.
Thermal Performance:
The EDGE |s| perimeter frame is fitted with thermal barriers to maximize thermal performance. Depending on the glass chosen, a U-Factor as low as .31 can be achieved.
Storm Winds:
Though only 1” wide, the Interlocker/Interlocker pairing was engineered for exceptional strength. At 10’ tall, this slim combination withstands a Design Pressure 15. When adding one Fin-Interlocker, it improves to 20. For those interested in maximum wind performance, we insert aluminum stiffeners into a pair of Fin-Interlockers to achieve a Design Pressure 75.
Deflection Resistance:
Though minimal, the EDGE |s| is a robust defender against wind-driven deflection. The strength comes from the continuous engagement of the stainless-steel Archetype Keel with the A4-E Rollers.
