 Architectural aluminium systems supplier Kawneer has enhanced its AA100 curtain walling system with the launch of structurally glazed (SSG) and horizontally capped (HC) options.
The SSG option allows a flush appearance to the exterior of stick frame curtain walling to be achieved without the use of visible facecaps. As well as being more visibly pleasing, says Kawneer, it is also more cost effective due to quick installation and reduced time fabricating and installing pressure plates and facecaps.
Constructed with structural silicone sealant and an integrated channel profile around the perimeter of the glazing unit, the system utilises toggle clips positioned on the mullions and transoms, to locate into the channel profile and provide the mechanical retention to secure the pane to the curtain wall. It can accommodate glazing infills of up to 37mm.
The HC system is a flexible option for specifiers offering a variety of distinctive facecaps to highlight horizontal features of a building envelope.
