So-called “pseudo mounting frames” (with the letter “P” at the end of the code) ensure that the frame size (FS) is correct.

Important information for the use of Finstral Composer:

• Changes type list: The door types are omitted. If an element is to be manufactured as a door, please set the indicator in the Element chapter to Door.
• With the changes to the type list, the fitting for certain types has been changed to concealed hinges. For FIN-Project, it may be possible to switch manually to visible hinges.
• Frame variant 920 for windows and doors (not front doors) is replaced by frame variant code 920.
• The old/lower surcharge is no longer applicable. For offers with delivery week 44/2021 and later, please take the new/higher surcharge into account!
• Changes to prices and technical changes do not automatically affect existing offers/orders. The respective positions must be updated.
• Please replace sash profiles and FIN-Window Twin glasses in existing offers/orders with new codes.
• The included preview images for profiles will be updated within June 2021.

Additional information for FIN-Door:
Identical designs in the FIN-Door and FIN-Window/FIN-Project price lists are only managed once in the master data of Finstral Composer. This includes, for example, connections, frame cuts, extensions, couplings, fanlights, fittings for fanlights and glass for frame doors. As the new FIN-Window/FIN-Project price lists are valid from delivery week 27/2021 and the new entrance door price list (FIN-Door) will not be valid until autumn 2021, the Finstral Composer already anticipates the new entrance door price list for these joint designs. Thus, in this phase (until the FIN-Door 2021 price list is valid), the front door offers created will be slightly higher in price (depending on the equipment, approx. up to a maximum of +0.3%) than the prices in the FIN-Door order confirmation, which we naturally create according to the price list valid on the delivery date. As soon as the new FIN-Door 2021 front door price list is in force, these minimal deviations will disappear in the Finstral Composer.

The Finstral Composer replaces FINSTRALcom.
