    General Description
    The MIRA Therm wood-aluminium system is based on the classic basic design for wood-aluminium systems.
    MIRA Therm is the solution for houses built using low-energy construction methods. An insulating aluminium shell: a simple and a highly effective solution for energy -saving construction. Aluminium provides protection and PUR polyurethane rigid foam ensures insulation.
    MIRA-Therm offers all the advantages of modular system and meets today's strict energy-saving regulations.
    Together with the fashionable, milled glass bead of the casements, this design is an especially economical and efficient woodaluminium window construction option.
    Mullions and transoms, available in various widths, permit even complicated window divisions.
    The frame connections are carried out with stable, punched corner connections: Element sizes up to 3.5 x 2.5 m are available.

    Structure
    The glass is taken up protected in the wooden groove. The edge of the insulationglass plate is thus well insulated against heat loss. The glass is placed into the casement from the outside, covered with the aluminum shell, and sealed.
    The aluminum shell is the weather-protective element, and also an architectural element which can be color-designed at will. The wooden frame provides stability and outstanding insulation, and gives the house a pleasantly comfortable character.
    The aluminium frames are generously rear ventilated, and are fastened to the wood tension-free with stable twist turn holders: That lets the wood breathe, and the aluminium frame expand due to temperature fluctuations without hindrance.
    Circumferential gaskets at the casements and rod frames provide reliable insulation and noise protection. If necessary, they can also be sealed with system gaskets between the aluminium frame and the casements.

    Performance

    Thermal Performance
    MIRA Therm achieves very good insulation values of 0.88 W/m²K at the frame Uf as per DIN EN ISO 10077-2, and is thus very suitable for use in low-energy houses.

    MIRA Therm has the certification of:
    Load Group C as per DIN 18055, Air-Tightness Level 4 as per DIN EN 12207, Driving-Rain Tightness 9A as per DIN EN 12208.
    Uw values depending on:
     • the respective glazing (Ug values)
     • the type of wood (softwood or hardwood)
     • the glass separator (standard aluminum or Thermix system)

    Assumption: Window size 1230 mm x 1480 mm (test-window dimensions), single tilt&turn sash.
