Thank you for your interest in Aluprof’s products.
Welcome to the group of professionals using BIM models in Autodesk® Revit. All of our Revit
families are created on the basis of our company’s real products.
In this document we would like to present the possibilities of the BIM models of MB-86
windows.
1. Technical parameters of MB-86 windows.
AIR PERMEABILITY Class 4, EN 12207
WATERTIGHTNESS up to class E1500, EN 12208
WIND LOAD RESISTANCE up to class C5, EN 12210
FRAME THICKNESS 77 mm
SASH THICKNESS 86 mm
CONTENT OF THE MATERIAL RECYCLATE 69,2%
2. Thermal insulation properties 1.
Uw = 0,68 W/(m2K)
for single FIX window
Uw = 0,78 W/(m2K)
for single Tilt and Turn window
MB-86 AERO Uw = 0,72 W/(m2K)
for double Tilt and Turn + FIX window
Uw = 0,77 W/(m2K)
for double Tilt and Turn + Side-hung window
Uw = 0,70 W/(m2K)
for single FIX window
Uw = 0,81 W/(m2K))
for single Tilt and Turn window
MB-86 SI Uw = 0,75 W/(m2K)
for double Tilt and Turn + FIX window
Uw = 0,80 W/(m2K)
for double Tilt and Turn + Side-hung window
Uw = 0,72 W/(m2K)
for single FIX window
Uw = 0,84 W/(m2K)
for single Tilt and Turn window
MB-86 ST Uw = 0,77 W/(m2K)
for double Tilt and Turn + FIX window
Uw = 0,83 W/(m2K)
for double Tilt and Turn + Side-hung window
1 The Uw value has been calculated for the following assumptions:
- two-chamber glazing with Ug=0,5 W/(m2*K)
- a warm edge space bar, Swisspacer Ultimate type
- window dimensions: L x H = 1230 x 1480 mm (single sash)
L x H = 2460 x 1480 mm (double sash)
For other calculation variants please contact the Aluprof’s Technical Support Department.
3. The MB-86 windows.
There are five Revit families for each variant of thermal insulation (ST/SI/AERO)
available for download, created according to the configuration of sashes and
opening type:
Single FIX window
Single Tilt and Turn window
Double Tilt and Turn + FIX window
Double Tilt and Turn + Side-hung window
Double Tilt and turn window with floating mullion
Corner FIX window
Corner FIX window with structural glazing
In Edit Type under Dimensions group, there is a parameter called Exterior wall face
offset which controls the value of the structure offset from the outer wall surface
(40mm by default) and a Mounting space parameter, which determines the depth
of the mounting space (15mm by default).
4. Inserting the corner window.
With the corner window in place in the wall, lock the window reference plane to
the outer face of the wall:
STEP 1 – Type AL or go STEP 2 – Then select the
to Modify -> Align tab window reference plane
and pick the wall face as shown below.
at first.
STEP 3 – Lock the alignment
by clicking the padlock.
Thanks to this, when changing the wall type, the window will remain in the same place
and will move according to the specified value of Exterior wall face offset parameter
as well.
5. Additional parameters.
The MB-86 window Revit families have a number of additional parameters that can
be included in schedules:
Warm installation
Hardware
Handle type
Schedule No.
These parameters have been left blank to be filled by the user.
In addition to the parameters directly related to the model properties, our Revit
families include information about the COBie, IFC and Uniclass 2015 standards.
We hope this short tutorial will help you use our BIM models more effectively in your projects.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
