B1 Magnetic Frame - HALBE Rahmen GmbH

B1 Magnetic Frame

Information
The B1 magnetic frame is the first picture frame certified worldwide according to fire protection class B1. The subject of fire protection is becoming increasingly important, particularly with respect to the design of public buildings – keyword DIN EN 13501-1. Our B1 magnetic frame has even passed the test for low-flammability pursuant to DIN 4102-1 unconditionally. This means: All materials are not dripping or falling in a burning state. Thus, HALBE meets tomorrow’s requirements already today. Excellent fire protection squared – the new B1 magnetic frame.

HALBE wins once again the “red dot” design award, this time for the fire protection magnetic frame. The judging panel expressly praises the precise workmanship and the self-explanatory handling of the magnetic frame principle, in addition to the elegant, minimalist design. And last not least because of its individual design concept, the frame has now also been nominated for the design award of the Federal Republic of Germany 2011, the highest official accolade in this area.

Float glass I, II
I Float glass, glossy, thickness 2.4 mm
II Float glass, matt / glossy, thickness 2.4 mm

Float glass is the first choice if there are no special requirements regarding the glass quality. If contour sharpness is important, a glass with a glossy finish on both sides is recommended. On the other hand, matt finished glass reduces reflections. A combination of both properties is offered by our Optiwhite float glass VI frosted on one side or by the new Mirogard®.
 
Optiwhite float glass V, VI
V Optiwhite float glass, glossy, thickness 2.6 mm
VI Optiwhite float glass, matt / glossy, thickness 2.6 mm

The right choice if a very good, neutral colour reproduction is required. With the Optiwhite float glass VI which is very finely frosted on one side, you have the additional advantage that the contour sharpness of the picture is visibly better than in the case of the antireflective varieties made of float glass or plexiglass.
 
Mirogard®
Schott Mirogard®, specialty glass with optical-interference antireflective coating, thickness 3.0 mm

Mirogard® is a specialty glass with optical-interference antireflective coating on both sides. This means: It is colourless, free of annoying reflections and therefore as good as invisible. One aspect to keep in mind with this high-quality glass type: There should be no distracting effects of light in the surrounding area, such as a window on the opposite side of the picture.
 
Safety glass ESG glossy
ESG glossy, thickness 4 mm
Single-layer safety glass is a thermally toughened glass which has a higher break and impact resistance. If the glass should nevertheless break due to high stress, it will split into small particles without sharp edges. The risk of injury compared to normal float glass varieties is significantly reduced in this way.


 
Safety glass ESG single-sided matt
ESG single-sided matt, thickness 4 mm
If, in addition to the advantages of the toughened safety glass, a reflection-reducing view is desired at the same time, then this glass type is the right choice. We have this ESG type produced with the same antireflective surface and glass quality as our float glass II.
 
Safety glass VSG glossy
VSG glossy, thickness 6 mm
In contrast to the toughened safety glass, the laminated safety glass (VSG) is a composite of 2 glass panes with a thickness of 3 mm each and a PVB film lying inbetween. Due to this thermally created composite, the splitting into small particles in case of a glass breakage is prevented since the VSG binds all glass splinters in the event of a breakage.
 
Profile cross section & dimensional drawing
 
 
Available standard and special formats
min. 210 mm x 210 mm, max. 1000 mm x 1400 mm
 
Picture safety device 1
 
This system allows the unobtrusive protection of the picture in the frame. Here, the profile frame is bolted to the base element at the top and at the bottom. The small screws can only be removed with a special tool which is included in the scope of delivery.

The picture safety device BS 1 is appropriate for: Classic magnetic frame, Distance magnetic frame, B1 magnetic frame, Conservo magnetic frame, LED magnetic frame and Passepartout magnetic frame.
 
Picture safety device 3
 
Here, the base element is securely bolted down directly to the wall. Your best bet is to combine the picture safety device BS 1 with the picture safety device BS 3 – in this way, picture and frame are perfectly protected at the same time.

BS 1 is appropriate for:
Classic, Distance, B1, Conservo, LED and Passepartout magnetic frames;
BS 3 can be ordered with the Classic, B1, Conservo, Display and Passepartout magnetic frames.
 
Picture safety device 4
 
The special feature of this picture safety device is that it is locked by means of a special key in the centre hole of the base element – alternatively at the top, at the bottom or in both centre holes. Using the picture safety device in the lower centre hole is recommended together with the simultaneous use of picture hooks in the two upper hanging holes.

The picture safety device BS 4 is appropriate for:
Classic magnetic frame, Distance magnetic frame, Passepartout magnetic frame and the new Protect magnetic frame.
 
Picture safety device SL
 
As an alternative to the picture safety device BS 3 or BS 4, we also fabricate our magnetic frames with a keyhole picture safety device (BS SL). The frame is protected against inadvertent dropping or simple removal from the wall. With the required knowledge, however, it can be removed without tools from the keyhole position on the wall. The 4 necessary screws and universal dowels are included in the scope of delivery.

The picture safety device BS SL is appropriate for:
Display magnetic frame, LED magnetic frame, B1 magnetic frame, Conservo magnetic frame and the new Protect magnetic frame.
 
Standard insertion depth
The standard insertion depth for picture and passepartout (or cardboard) is 2 mm.
If larger insertion depths are required, please indicate them when placing an order.
Special insertion depths are crafted by us without extra charge.
 
Maximum insertion depth
9,0 mm
 
The B1 magnetic frame does not differ from the distinct, timeless product design of our classic aluminium magnetic frames. Here too, one can select from several high-quality extruded aluminium profiles and colour variations.
In addition, there is a choice of adjustable, flame resistant spacers, a serrated levelling suspension, as well as an optional keyhole picture safety device (BS SL). All frame advantages at a glance:
  • Certified safety according to DIN 4102-1
  • All materials are not dripping or falling in a burning state
  • Customised fabrication according to your requirements
  • Longevity of all materials
  • Expandable by special picture safety systems as protection against vandalism and theft
  • Combinable with professional hanging systems on stainless steel ropes
  • Simple and quick framing from the front thanks to the proven magnetic frame system
