In the constantly evolving world of building, the quality of materials plays a crucial role in the energy efficiency, durability and aesthetics of constructions.
The solutions proposed by Prodex, combining innovation and respect for environmental standards, offer high performance technical and energy characteristics, adapted to numerous architectural applications.
Custom extruded profiles
The extruded profiles offered by Prodex are precisely designed to meet the varied needs of building professionals. Thanks to their expertise in co-extrusion, Prodex is able to combine different materials in the same product, optimising the mechanical and aesthetic performance of their profiles.
These extruded gaskets are distinguished by their ability to be 100% recyclable and colourable, offering environmentally-friendly solutions while guaranteeing harmonious integration into all types of architectural projects.
Gaskets and profiles in compliance with technical standards
Prodex doesn’t just offer quality products. They ensure that their solutions comply with the most stringent technical standards in the building sector. In particular, their profiles meet the following requirements:
- CSTB (Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment): guaranteeing the quality and compliance of materials with French regulations.
- RAL-GZ: German certification attesting to the durability and quality of joints.
- EN 13501: a European standard for materials’ reaction to fire and smoke, essential for buildings that meet high safety standards.
Applications for extruded profiles
Gaskets and profiles for door and window frames
Whether for doors, windows or bay windows, extruded elastomer profiles are essential for guaranteeing a perfect seal and optimum thermal and acoustic insulation, while meeting the aesthetic requirements of designers.
These gaskets are compatible with aluminium, wood, steel and PVC joinery.
The term ‘frame gasket’ is used to describe wedge gaskets, glazing or wallet gaskets, carpentry gaskets, groove covers, sunroom carpentry gaskets, draining profiles, etc.
Extruded profiles for building façades
Extruded profiles (in particular sunroom carpentry gaskets and draining profiles) or waterproofing membranes are used in the construction of modern façades, where their durability and weather resistance are major assets.
They can have the following specifications:
- Compatibility with silicone sealants and adhesives
- Compatibility with self-cleaning glass
- Profile colour similar to the metal frame
- Production of welded sealing frames.
Profiles for interior office partitions
For professional spaces, Prodex offers solutions for creating light, resistant partitions that meet the modular layout needs of contemporary offices.
The profiles manufactured by Prodex significantly reduce acoustics, particularly around doors.
Extruded profiles for railings
Extruded profiles can be used in the design of modern, aesthetic balustrades, providing both safety and design. Prodex has a wide range of glazing gaskets that can accommodate most standard glazing for steel tubes with a groove in the bottom of guardrails or aluminium profiles.
The whole assembly must withstand rigorous testing, including the famous ‘bag test’.
Profiles for verandas, pergolas, canopies and carports
For exterior structures such as verandas, pergolas or carports, Prodex profiles are designed to withstand the elements while blending in perfectly with the architectural environment.
Whether they are junction profiles, sunroom carpentry gaskets or external profiles, they can be coloured on request and are compatible with PMMA and polycarbonate.
This requires materials that are highly resistant to UV, which Prodene materials make possible.
Profiles for gates, wickets, garage doors and privacy screens
Prodex solutions also extend to opening systems such as gates and wicket doors, guaranteeing robustness and durability.
Even in small production runs, Prodex can match the colours of the seals to those of the gates.
Profiles for swimming pool enclosures
In addition to their traditional applications, extruded elastomer profiles are also used in the manufacture of pool enclosures, providing optimum protection against the elements while preserving the aesthetics of outdoor installations.
So you can enjoy your pool for longer!
A commitment to the environment
As well as technical performance, Prodex makes a point of integrating sustainable solutions into its manufacturing processes. Extruded gaskets are fully recyclable, reducing the environmental impact throughout their life cycle.
What’s more, the TPE extrusion process is more energy-efficient than that for rubber or silicone.
