Storefronts and Curtain Walls
Curtain Walls
Aluminum and its alloys are important in structures, such as building facades (curtain walls) and window & door frames. Aluminum is nonmagnetic, does not easily ignite, is corrosion resistant and is 100% recyclable. Our curtain walls are designed to resist air and water infiltration & are designed with extruded aluminum members. The aluminum frame is typically infilled with glass, which provides an architecturally pleasing building .
Fenestration (architecture), refers to the design, construction, or presence of openings in a building. Our Building Fenestration includes windows, doors, wall panels, storefronts, curtain walls, and slope glazed systems. Curtain walls differ from store-front systems in that they are designed to span multiple floors.
Series 3150 Curtainwall System:
Curtain wall combines the horizontal members of Series 3250 with structural silicone glazed vertical mullions. Narrow 3/8" wide silicone joints and vertical mullions hidden behind the glass create the appearance of a glass wall with horizontal feature strips. Dual or two-tone colors can be achieved by specifying different finishes for the exterior face covers and interior mullions. Two piece horizontals and extruded shear blocks allow for a concealed horizontal to vertical joinery without exposed screws.
Series 3250 Curtainwall System:
Strength, versatility and economics make Series 3250 curtain wall an industry favorite for low- to mid-rise applications where outside glazing is desired. Complementing the efficiency of insulated glass, Series 3250 is thermally isolated by a continuous thermal spacer interlocked with horizontal and vertical pressure plates. Two-tone colors can be achieved by specifying different finishes for the exterior face covers and interior mullions. Two piece horizontals and die cast shear blocks allow for concealed horizontal to vertical joinery without exposed screws. These joint intersections also have concealed injection molded plastic end dams for controlling any infiltrated water. Various depth mullions are available for accommodating single and multi-span structural loads.
