Depending on the type and position of the seals, profiles are divided into 2 systems: rebate seal sys-tems and centre seal systems:
Rebate seal systems
In these systems, the outer seal lies in the frame rebate, i.e. in full view. This creates a smooth, low-maintenance profile contour when in the open position. Rebate seal systems can be used on all types of windows, French windows and front doors and are ideal for individual houses or apartment blocks.
Centre seal systems
In these systems the seal is concealed in the centre of the frame, and is thus protected from the wind and weather. This positioning creates an uneven profile contour when the window is opened; making it high maintenance. In centre seal systems, fixed window types can only be produced by using addi-tional profiles. Front door constructions are not possible. For this reason, these profiles are primarily used in administrative buildings and in the commercial construction sector because pressure-free drainage is possible and these systems are able to withstand the demands of installations set at high levels.
VEKA window systems are the ideal solution to these varied roles, not only because of their attractive design but also because of their excellent internal properties: the dimensional stability and the well-insulating multi-chambered systems help to minimise heating costs and increase stability and security. The optimum sound-insulation allows you to enjoy the peace and quiet in your own home while the maintenance-free, weatherproof and age-resistant material guarantees long-lasting, attractive appearance. Metal reinforcements which comply with VEKA guidelines ensure a high degree of security.
