Design & Specification Notes
Structural glazing curtain wall system for full-height transparency and weatherproofing.
Typical Uses
- •Glazing systems
- •Facade engineering
- •Thermal envelope
Key Performance
Supports daylight and thermal performance of the envelope, and carries wind load back to the frame.
Specification Actions
- •Provide an EPD (EN 15804) or verified embodied carbon figure (A1–A3), and state the life-cycle stages covered.
- •Verify recycled aluminium content
- •Specify seal materials with long service life
Indicative Health & Indoor Air
Aluminium and glass are inert. Sealants and gaskets should be verified for low VOC content.
