518 IsoPort Framing

516 and 518 Thermal Windows
Delivering Thermal Performance,
Economy and Ease of Installation

Designed for punched openings, strip and ribbon window
applications, Kawneer’s 516 and 518 Thermal Windows provide an
economical, high-performance, thermally broken product that is
easily fabricated and installed. As a bonus, they are also
competitively priced, feature a full rain screen option and offer the
ability to incorporate ventilators. A “top hat” feature provides a
deeper frame for thicker wall construction, greater structural
capability and inset glazing.
Performance
Responding to owner and designer demand for improved thermal
performance, the 0.57" (14.6 mm) IsoPort™ 6/6 glass-reinforced
nylon thermal break provides windows with improved condensation
resistance and thermal transmittance capability. The rigid profile
provides composite structural performance, and 516 and 518 Thermal
Windows meet or exceed the highest performance levels for the
specifications listed on the reverse side.

A major difference between the two windows is the “top hat”
feature on the 518 Thermal Window. This provides a 1" (25.4 mm)
deeper frame for thicker wall construction and enhanced structural
capability on applications requiring sturdier installation and aesthetic
performance.

The seamless coupling mullion on the 516 Thermal Window features
unbroken weather joints on the exterior surfaces and provision for
thermal movement in changing temperatures. Simple joinery with
overlapping flanges enables economical construction and provides
good weathering capability. Both 516 and 518 Thermal Windows
offer a full rain screen option, which provides exterior drainage of any
water that penetrates the system.
Head and sill members run between the coupling mullions for easy
assembly of the 516 Thermal Window as a series of modular units.
Glazing can be installed and replaced from the interior to reduce costs
and weather delays. 516 and 518 Thermal Windows accommodate
1" (25.4 mm) sealed glazing units and have lock-in glass stops. Preshim butyl glazing tapes are used on the exterior, and EPDM rubber
glazing gaskets are used on the interior.

Aesthetics
516 and 518 Thermal Windows offer classic designs that blend with
any type of architecture from traditional to modern and retrofit to
new construction:
• Since the IsoPort™ Window comprises two separate extrusions,
designers can select different exterior and interior finishes without
exceeding budgets.
• Mullion sightlines on both windows are minimized to allow
maximum uninterrupted vision.
• Unbroken weather joints on the 516 Thermal Window create a
seamless coupling mullion for a sleek look.
• The “top hat” feature on the 518 Thermal Window allows the
glass to be set back from the outer face of the framing, providing
a different glazing plane and distinctive aesthetics.
For natural ventilation, Kawneer offers the following choices:
• 512 Ventrow Ventilator, which maintains consistent building
sightlines whether open or closed, and is easily installed in any
fixed frame that is at least 4" (101.6 mm) deep.
• 526 Thermal Window, the universal, thermally broken operator
that meets highest performance levels and is factory fabricated
and assembled.

THERMAL TRANSMITTANCE
E.C. 97911-32
The window thermal transmittance values (U - values) shown in the chart below are based on CSA - A440.2 "Energy Performance
Evaluation of Windows and Sliding Glass Doors". U - values of the center of glass, edge of glass and frame areas were computed using
the VISION and FRAME thermal simulation programs. Overall window U - values were calculated using the following relationship:
U w = (U c A c + U e A e + U f A f )/A w
where
U w = U-value of complete window product
U c = calculated center of glass U-value
U e = calculated edge of glass U-value
U f = calculated frame U-value
A c = center of glass area
A e = edge of glass area
A f = frame area
A w = total window area
OVERALL WINDOW U-VALUE (U w )
For fixed window configurations as shown with height (h) equal to width (w).

For some regions and projects there may be minimum energy efficiency requirements for the building envelope, and its components,
including windows. The shading coefficient (SC) and the thermal transmittance (U - value) of the window is then required to determine
whether the building design complies with the specified energy requirements. Shading coefficient depends on the glass selected and
should be obtained from the glass supplier. The U - value of the window varies with the type of glass and sealed unit edge construction,
the window frame, and the relative areas of these components.
