Structural Glazing Faade System

Facades made entirely of glass have a firm place in contemporary architecture and create impressive building elevations. This Structural Glazing Façade System has gradually emerged in recent decades, driven largely by the pursuit of transparency in the building facade among leading building designers. This new technology has evolved in long-span applications, and can be categorized by the various structural systems employed as support.
The Structural Glazing facade system consists of a definite width ( say50 mm wide ) insulated aluminum mullions and transoms. The system is based on double glazing units with a warm edge and a specially developed mounting profile for installation fittings. The glass panes are anchored in the mullions and transoms with the help of installation fittings. The weather seal between the glass panels is done with the use of an approved sealing compound, usually black. The design of the inside gasket and the insulating strip optimises the insulation of the profiles.
