SCW curtain wall
SCW curtain wall is a proven, cost effective solution for low
to mid-rise applications. Developed to provide a high quality
answer to many fenestration requirements, it offers total
flexibility in specification.
Appearance
SCW curtain wall can be either single or double glazed for
improved thermal and acoustic performance. With a 50mm wide face
dimension, the system offers a range of mullion depths to cater
for differing structural conditions. Complementary sections for
sloped glazing and a range of external caps to vary the finished
appearance are available.
Construction
SCW curtain wall uses a box and plate format for factory frame
assembly using mechanical methods at butt joints. Assembly uses
stainless steel or plated self-tapping screws into integral screw
ports extruded into the body of the sections, directly through
square cut adjoining component parts.
Vertical sections are designed to run
through. This enables individual panels to be made separately,
easing the problems associated with handling and transporting
large or multi-panel frames when fully assembled. The system may
be glazed using dual gaskets or a combination of tape and gasket
to suit individual performance requirements.
Performance
SCW curtain wall is a thermally-broken, compartment drained
product which offers performance characteristics in line with the
highest requirements of the industry. When tested in accordance
with the procedures laid down in BS5368: Parts 1, 2 & 3, the
product achieved the following classification for weather
resistance as defined in BS6375: 1989. Air permeability, 600Pa.
Watertightness, 600Pa. Wind resistance, 2400Pa.
Glazing
SCW curtain wall is designed to accommodate various glazing
options from 6 to 10mm for single glazing and up to 24mm for
double glazing. Glazing must satisfy safety recommendations and
withstand the calculated design wind pressure for different types
of location. All glazing must comply with BS6262 and BS952: Part
1.
Finishes
All senior curtain wall systems are available in mill finish for
final finishing by others or may be supplied in a full range of
polyester powder or anodised finishes.
