It keeps a promise with customers to be a strong company and does its best to provide affl uence to customers’ lives for its products.

Various Windows and Doors Produced by Wonjin Aluminum

Casement windows are mainly used as ventilation windows or escape windows, and are opened from the inside toward the outside. The maximum opening angle is 90 degrees.

Normally, when the outside air fl ows in through the gap between the window frame and the window, insulation will decrease. Designed to overcome this, the casement window adopts a method that provides excellent insulation eff ects by covering the section of the frame that is exposed to the outside air with insulation materials combined with aluminum.

As for curtain wall windows, a polyamide insulation material is applied between the main member and the fi xing plate for the primary insulation, and polyurethane is applied to the middle section of the fi xing plate for the secondary insulation. In addition, polyamide is applied to the member that is connected to the external cap for the third insulation. Thus, the curtain wall window is a highly insulated window.

System doors can be mainly used for doors that come in contact with outside air directly. It is a highstrength system door that can be used as a main entrance door of a house and an entrance door of an offi ce. As special hardware is used, the system door provides excellent air-tightness and insulation and, accordingly, is suitable for an entrance door of a building as well as for laboratories, test rooms and recording rooms.

Lift sliding window will be lifted 8mm above the rail and slide with the help of a special hardware operation method, thus allowing a large-sized window to be opened easily and smoothly. It provides excellent insulation and air-tightness because of the use of a gasket made of a special material that has excellent durability and restoring force.

Established in 1965 as the fi rst producer of faucets in Korea, Dada Corp. has been running as a top leader and pioneer in this business with a creative development approach and long experience. It has already realized an advanced production system a long time ago with automatic process system and perfect quality control system.

Currently, it is supplying faucets to major construction companies such as Samsung, Doosan, Daewoo, LH, SH, Lott e, etc., and exporting to China, Japan, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

Shower and Lavatory with New Technologies Applied

New technologies have been applied to Dada’s product range. First, ecofriendly energy- saving faucets are designed to save hot water as well as water itself. When using a single lever mix lever, you turn the lever to the left for hot water, middle for warm water and right for cold water.

However, the hot water saving cartridge narrows the angle so that hot water is released only when the lever is turned to left all the way. Saving water itself is possible as the angle of the lever is stopped at 15 degrees upwards so that only 70% of water is released.

A hot water shut off valve is also available for various models such as DD-330MSC and DD-272MSC. The valve is useful especially during summertime when nobody is using hot water. You can simply shut off hot water by turning the valve off at 90 degrees. Also electronic touch faucet is available for kitchen. It releases water when one’s hand makes contact with the body of the faucet.

Another new technology involves air bubbles for the shower head. This air bubble shower head can save water with air suction. The water strength stays the same while saving water by approximately 25%-40%.
