Pioneering architectural solutions
Since 2016, the Swiss town of Dübendorf has been synonymous with pioneering building research and sustainable archi-
tecture. Incorporating the latest Hi-Lo (high performance, low emissions) module, the NEST research building in Düben-
dorf is the jewel in the crown of a building experiment that significantly reduces the use of materials thanks to an inno-
vative method of roof and floor construction and also conserves resources in the long term thanks to adaptive building
technology. The striking arched segments fill intricate glass façades and heat-insulating profile systems from Forster,
which in turn contribute to the overall sustainability.

Sustainability at Forster
The issues of sustainability and respect for the environment have never been as present in society, politics and industry as they are today.
However, Forster Profilsysteme AG has always played its part in this. Its internal processes ensure that the resources it uses are emplo-
yed as sparingly as possible, and it develops products that, at the end of the building’s service life, can largely – if not completely – be
returned to the material cycle and reused.

Featuring a patented construction design, the forster omnia door profile system
allows customised, modular solutions to be created for outdoor use. A single profile
system is sufficient for numerous functions and builds. As a result, the heat-insula- forster omnia Tür
ted door elements can be combined with security functions such as El30 fire protec-
tion and RC2 burglar resistance as required. The unique construction design, which
can be used for multiple applications, makes the conceptualisation process easier by
reducing planning complexity. It also means that fewer stock materials are needed
and allows for simple processing and a uniform appearance of the door elements
throughout the entire building. The slim profiles are made from 100 % steel and do
not require any additional plastic insulators or coolants for fire protection.

ner in both new and existing buildings wherever space-saving solutions are required.
It can be installed in lightweight or solid walls as well as fixed glazing. The particu-
larly slim steel profiles also ensure maximum transparency. High opening speeds of
up to 50 cm per second and generous passage widths of up to 2.6 meters help en-
sure a smooth flow of people in busy places. Last but not least, the automatic door
system with El30 meets stringent fire protection requirements.

forster thermfix vario
Curtain wall for fire protection
Offering transparency and maximum security, the forster thermfix vario curtain
walls meet all requirements for high heat insulation and safety with fire protection
as well as burglary and bullet resistance. The corner constructions and glass-panel-
led panels with a size of up to 1500 × 3000 mm have been tested for fire protection
and facilitate further design and application possibilities with a consistently high
level of safety. Steel or stainless steel profiles arranged on the inside perform the
load-bearing function. Thanks to the outstanding structural properties, impressive
field sizes are possible with the narrowest profile face widths of just 45 mm. Si-
Transom
de-hung or sliding doors from the forster fuego light system are ideal for combining
with other elements. In addition, sophisticated processing tools save time during
production and assembly. The seals printed with position markings enable safe and
accurate processing on site.

forster thermfix vario Hi
Highly heat-insulated curtain wall
An aesthetic masterpiece designed to meet the Passive House standard. The forster
thermfix vario Hi curtain wall meets the highest Passive House efficiency class phA
and therefore offers excellent thermal insulation. The steel profile system can be
used to create impressive field sizes – even for very slim profiles with a width of 45
or 60 mm. Since the Passive House-certified system is based on the forster thermfix
vario standard mullion / transom construction, many components can be used across
systems. This means that different burglar resistance and fire protection require-
ments can be taken into account on a building while maintaining the same appea-
Transom
rance across the entire façade. The curtain wall system can ideally be combined with
the forster unico, forster unico XS and forster omnia profile systems to accommo-
date window and door components with appropriate heat insulation requirements.
