VEKA Softline 82 AD PVC Window System

VEKA Softline 82 AD PVC Window System

The VEKA Softline 82 AD PVC Window System is a multi-chamber PVC-U profile system with an 82 mm construction depth and a two-seal AD arrangement. Its profile section forms the frame and sash around the glazing, reinforcement and hardware, while the two sealing levels define the contact layout between opening parts. VEKA lists the profile wall as Class A under DIN EN 12608-1. The system accepts glass up to 54 mm thick, giving the fabricator a range of compatible glazing builds to consider for the desired daylight, privacy, solar control or sound qualities. This is maximum system capacity rather than a specification of the glass supplied in an individual window. For the visible design, VEKA lists minimum view widths of 73 mm for a fixed sash and 114 mm for the frame-and-sash combination. These proportions describe how the PVC frame presents around the glass and can help shape a clean, substantial window outline. The manufacturer lists profile Uf as 1.1 W/(m²K), a profile-level thermal figure rather than a rating for the complete window. An adhesive-technology sash profile is also available within the system family, offering an additional design route for suitable builds. With its 82 mm depth, broad glazing capacity and clearly defined AD sealing layout, this VEKA PVC window system provides a specific foundation for a range of contemporary window designs.

Two-seal layout and glazing capacity

Softline 82 AD combines a two-level seal arrangement with a deep, multi-chamber PVC-U profile. The AD construction places the seals at the frame-and-sash interface without the central third seal used by an MD version. Within the 82 mm section, the glazing rebate supports glass units up to 54 mm thick; the selected glazing build can then be matched to the opening design and the profile components. VEKA’s listed minimum visible dimensions—73 mm for a fixed sash and 114 mm for the combined frame and sash—describe the frame outline around the glazed area, adding useful context when considering sightlines. The maximum sash size published for the system is 1400 mm wide by 2500 mm high. These are system dimensions, and their use in an actual unit depends on its proportions and component choices. VEKA lists Uf of 1.1 W/(m²K) for the profile, while a complete window’s thermal behavior also includes its glazing and overall build. Manufacturer system figures and reference values depend on the selected glass, dimensions, reinforcement, hardware and fabrication. In architectural terms, the profile balances a substantial frame section with a wide glass capacity, allowing the fabricator to work with different insulated-glass builds while preserving the AD seal arrangement. The Class A wall classification describes the profile wall itself, and the optional adhesive-technology sash offers another documented profile solution within the range.
