The excellent acoustic performance, aesthetic appeal and adaptability of Revolution 54 make it one of our most popular systems. It can be single or double glazed and in its single glazed form the glazing can be offset or centred, to suit the desired aesthetic.
In its double glazed form, Revolution 54 integrates seamlessly with generic drywall with the use of our aluminium tapeable glazing bar, making it an ideal solution for glazed fins or clerestory glazing, where acoustic performance and design aesthetics cannot be compromised.
Head Condition
Revolution 54 is available in two distinct designs, distinguished by the height of the frame; either 54 mm (w) x 25 mm (h) or 54 mm (w) x 50 mm (h) extrusions. Both inner and outer deflection heads are available, to suit your design intent, and each style can accommodate up to +/-25 mm or up to +/-40 mm deflection.
Base Condition
The aluminium base channel can either be 25 mm or 50 mm deep, depending upon your desired aesthetic and features clip-in glazing beads.
Panel Dimensions
Revolution 54 can accommodate glass panels up to 1500 mm wide, subject to height, configuration, and site logistics.
Interpanel Joints
The use of dry-glaze gaskets in the Revolution 54 system makes it quick and easy to install, without compromising on durability, aesthetics or acoustic performance. A number of discreet glass to glass dry joints are available, including clear PETG, flush aluminium and taped.
Acoustics
Revolution 54 can accommodate a variety of glass thicknesses to suit the acoustic rating that you need to achieve. As with all of our products, the system is laboratory tested for acoustic performance in a UKAS accredited laboratory and full test reports are available upon request.Revolution 54 single glazing can achieve Rw 33 dB with 12 mm toughened glass and Rw 38 dB with 12.8 mm thick acoustic laminated glass.The double glazed system can achieve a maximum of Rw 45 dB with two layers of 12.8 mm thick acoustic laminated glass.The acoustic test is conducted on a full height, multi-module screen with glazing joints and perimeter track-work; not simply a ‘window’ in a smaller sized opening. Testing samples using the latter method will generally give an artificially higher acoustic rating result and any results obtained in this way should be treated with great caution.
Doors
Revolution 54 can integrate with any of our glass doors, along with 44 mm thick timber doors and 54 mm thick rebated timber doors.
Frequently asked questions
What is the highest acoustic rating Revolution 54 can achieve?
Single glazing reaches up to Rw 38 dB and double glazing up to Rw 45 dB.
How do I choose between Revolution 54 and Revolution 100?
Revolution 54 uses a 54 mm frame for a lighter profile and can be single or double glazed. For spaces that need the highest acoustic rating, we recommend Revolution 100, which reaches up to Rw 52 dB double glazed.
Can it take timber doors?
Yes. Revolution 54 accommodates 44 mm or 54 mm timber doors. Where a more open feel is preferred, Axile Clarity glazed doors and Kinetic Align sliding glazed doors are also available.
Can it connect to drywall?
Yes. The double glazed version integrates with drywall through an aluminium glazing bar, making it well suited to glazed fins and clerestory glazing.
Floor slabs deflect slightly under load. Can the partition accommodate this?
Yes. Deflection heads absorb up to ±25 mm or ±40 mm of vertical movement, with internal and external options.
Can the partitions be reused after a refit or move?
Yes. Revolution 54 is a dry jointed system that can be demounted and reinstalled elsewhere, with framing made from low-carbon recycled aluminium.
Can I request full technical specifications?
Yes. We can provide the complete manufacturer specification, covering glazing configurations, acoustic data and finishing details.
