A new twist on vision panels
PBSC has recently launched the latest in its range of vision panels, with an integrated blind that is easier to operate.
The panels are laser cut from stainless steel in a one-piece frame thus avoiding awkward joints and crevices and incorporate 2mm architrave flush glazing. Edges are sharp square, not bevelled, ensuring no dirt collection and thus eliminating one possible source of contamination.
An integral blind is included, with a magnet-operated control now set in the base of the panel for quick access and ease of operation - shutter twist and raise/lower functions are standard.
There are no visible fixings on the vision panel - a screen-printed border on the glass hides such detail, although this can be omitted if aesthetics are not crucial. The interior reveal liners can be stainless steel or white PVC.
Options include fire-rated or non-fire-rated, and sizes range from 380mm² to 1m² clear view. For the triple-glazed fire-rated panels a minimum wall thickness of 170mm is required, whilst only 60mm is needed for the double glazed non fire-rated panels. Because of new fabrication procedures, the outer frame can be made in white PVC or phenolic resin without compromising on functionality.
