Compliance

All Fenestration products installed in South African buildings have to comply with South African Building Regulations. Furthermore, property owners require quality lasting aluminium products in their buildings.

Crealco products offer both if:

Products are designed using free Crealco design software for compliance and quality assurance;
Fabricated using genuine Wispeco material (beware of imitations);
Industry precautionary and Wispeco fabrication guidelines are followed and
The products are maintained correctly, see our Cleaning and Maintenance Guide and guide lines set out by Ferro and Akzo Noble.

There are four main sections of South African Building Legislation that windows and doors of any material need to comply with, namely:

SANS 10400 N – The application of the National Building Regulations Part N: Safety Glazing
SANS 613 – Fenestration products: Mechanical/Structural performance criteria
SANS 10400 XA – The application of the National Building Regulations Part XA : Energy usage in buildings
SANS 204 – Energy efficiency of buildings

All Wispeco Aluminium’s Crealco and Sheerline’s products are type tested by AAAMSA‘s (Architectural Aluminium Association of South Africa) SANAS accredited test rigs and SAFIERA‘s (South African Fenestration, Insulation Energy Rating Association) rotatable guarded hot box for mechanical and energy efficiency performance compliance.

Wispeco have over time developed FREE innovative software programs to assist various levels of the window and door supply chain with designing, specifying, fabricating and installing compliant and durable Crealco windows and doors. The Crealco software packages are all FREELY available to architectural building professionals and aluminium window and door fabricators.

U-Solve is a design, budget and energy efficiency compliance calculation program used by architects to design and specify Crealco products for a project. It is Agrément certified and SAFIERA endorsed with its data based on real actual U-Values and SHGC allowing compliant design for a specific buildings’ energy efficiency requirement for a specific location.

FPD (Fenestration Performance Declaration) is a one page project specific compliance assurance declaration that is issued by aluminium fabricators with a unique traceable declaration number that confirm compliance with all relevant building regulations in terms of the projects design, material use, fabrication, glazing, installation and maintenance methods. It serves as a document that enables Architects and Building Contractors to sign off the project with confidence.
