Stainless steel profi le systems are ideal
in fi ligree-looking glass architecture
and for all aspects of security. Its
static material properties make it suitable
for very slim-line profi le geometries. In
various parts of the AFG Corporate Center
building the following profi le systems
have been used:
Entrance Area
Automatic sliding doors have been constructed
using the newly developed Forster
unico profi le system which convey the feeling
of a modern and spaciously designed
entrance area to the visitor.
Forum/Conference Room
The Forster thermfi x light post/bar sys -
tem has been used for the exterior glass
façade which also uses Forster unico lift/
slide elements.

ELEGANT STAINLESS STEEL PROFILE SYSTEMS
Aesthetics and Transparency
Stainless steel, a fascinating material, renowned for its long life and robustness,
setting its own high standards, both architecturally and ecologically.
Lounge
The polygonal glass front on the south
side (facing the street) is built of Forster
thermfi x light elements and exhibits an
impressive height of nearly 6.7 m. The
emergency exit doors integrated into the
side of the glass front are constructed
from the Forster unico system.
Arboneria
Forster thermfi x vario EI60 fi re-resistant
partitions with integrated automatic EI30
sliding doors in the Forster fuego light system.
The doors have an opening of 2.5 m
which means they can cope with a rush
of people.
Automatic E130 sliding fi re doors guarantee
the highest levels of safety for entering
the underground car park while at
the same time being simple to operate.
Coded badges are also used to activate
these doors.
Façade
The impressive north front and the rounded
façade (towers) are built entirely from
stainless steel Forster unico window elements.
This material and the streamline
width of the windows result in a harmonic
overall picture.
Top Floor
The exterior façade uses the Forster
thermfi x light post/bar system with integrated
Forster unico lift/slide elements.
The strong stability means element constructions
as high as the room are possible.
The sliding parts are 2.6 m high and
have fi ttings with a load-bearing capacity
of up to 400 kg.
Stairwell Glass Construction
To guarantee the safety of the emergency
exits, the stairwell partitions must comply
with high levels of fi re protection.
