GOLIATH MOUNTING ANGLE FOR EXTENSIONS AND SYSTEM SUBSTRATES 60x120mm
⭐ GOLIATH angles for window substructures are an important mounting element because they perform key functions in the stability and insulation of the window. Here are the most important reasons:
✅ Structural stability: GOLIATH angles increase the strength of the connections between the substructure and the building structure, providing a solid base for window installation. Thanks to this, the window is securely mounted and the risk of settling or movement due to mechanical loads is minimized.
✅ Improved insulation: Properly installed GOLIATH angles help seal the connection point of the foundation with the window and the wall, which limits the penetration of cold, moisture and air. This has a positive impact on the energy efficiency of the building, reducing heat loss.
✅ Resistance to dynamic loads: GOLIATH brackets support the window structure in places most exposed to loads, such as wind and other forces acting on windows, especially in large glazing areas. In this way, they improve the durability of the entire mounting system.
✅ Ease of installation: The use of GOLIATH brackets allows for precise setting of the foundations, which is particularly important in complex structures, where the accuracy of installation affects the subsequent operation of the window, e.g., tightness or ease of opening.
⭐ MATERIALS USED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF GOLIATH ANGLES
For the production of GOLIATH angles, a carefully selected type of steel is used, which is ideal for use in building and construction, due to its protective properties and durability:
✅ DX51D: This is a type of steel used mainly for bending, stamping and forming. Thanks to the appropriately selected hardness of the material, it can be processed into the desired shapes.
✅ Z275: means that the steel is covered with a 275 g/m² layer of zinc (total on both sides), which gives it high corrosion resistance. This level of galvanization is suitable for outdoor applications where the structure is exposed to weathering.
⭐ TECHNICAL DATA:
✅ LENGTH: 10cm
✅ HEIGHT: 14cm
✅ WIDTH: 10.5cm
✅ THICKNESS: 2mm
✅ HOLE DIAMETERS: 6, 8mm
⭐ HOW TO MOUNT TO WINDOW AND DOOR SUBSTRATES?
To properly mount angle brackets to the substructure, the following points should be taken into account:
✅ Appropriate angle size: An angle of the appropriate size ensures that the forces acting on the window (e.g. window weight, dynamic or thermal loads) are correctly transferred to the building structure.
An angle bracket that is too small may not be able to withstand the loads, which can lead to deformation or even damage to the structure.
Too few or incorrect placement can weaken the durability and safety of the entire structure.
✅ Fastening to the foundation and building structure: Properly fastening the angle brackets with appropriate screws to both the foundations and the building structure is crucial for the stability and safety of the entire installation.
If the wrong screws are used, the fasteners may become loose or weaken, resulting in the risk of damage, deformation of the foundations, and in extreme cases, failure of the entire structure.
