What does frame fabrication add to a glazed unit?
Frame fabrication is the manufacture of the timber or metal frame that holds a glass panel or insulated glass unit in place within a window, door, or facade opening. KH Glass Group fabricates frames in both timber and metal in-house, meaning a project can receive a fully framed, glazed unit ready for installation rather than glass and framing sourced from two separate suppliers and assembled on site or by a third-party joinery shop. Producing the frame in the same facility as the glass lets frame dimensions be built directly around the tolerances of the glass unit it will hold, rather than the glass being adjusted to fit a frame made elsewhere. This is the tenth and final stage in the company's in-house production chain, allowing an order to move from raw glass to a delivery-ready, framed unit without leaving the Çatalca facility. For contractors managing installation schedules, a single framed-and-glazed delivery reduces site-based fitting steps and coordination between separate glass and joinery suppliers.
