4 Kawneer scurtain wall Systems have been designed and engineered tomeet these demands and more. Our Curtain wall Systems have been tested and assessed inaccordance with the relevant BS EN and Centre for Windowand Cladding Technology (CWCT) Curtain Wall Wall Design ConsiderationsPlease note this is for guidance only1. How many stories is your building?2. Do you need to cater for increasedlive-load movements or accommodate barrier-load edge cover (15mm)?3. Is Fire Resistance a requirement?4.

6 Mullion (or point) drainage Systems feature overlappingjoints. Drainage and ventilation slots are located in thevertical pressure plate. Transoms are overlapped to themullion which incorporates an EPDM gasket to seal betweenmullion and are fitted with a Batman gasket to maintain thethermal Suitable for slope glazingZone drainage Systems feature simple butt jointed mullionsand transoms, with each panel acting as an individual and ventilation slots are located in the verticalpressure plate. Transoms are square cut at the ends toincorporate EPDM mouldings and gaskets to maintain eachzone.

7 Transoms are fitted with a Batman gasket to maintain thethermal Each panel is individually pressure equalised and drained via its transom, enabling the Curtain wall to quickly react to fluctuating wind pressure Zone DrainageMullion Wall Systems Curtain Wall Product Characteristics/RegulationsKey = Available = Project dependant; contact our advisory line *= Subject to Structural Assessment HC = Horizontally Capped VC = Vertically Capped SSG = Structurally Silicone Glazed PFLL = Picture Frame Look-AlikeNote: HI version cannot be facettedKey = Available = Project dependant.

The system has outstandingperformance and its ease of installation makes it possible tosuit individual project AA 100 is suitable for vertical and sloped applicationsincluding faceted walls.

10 Design ConsiderationsA comprehensive range of mullions and transoms allowfa ades to be designed with minimal structural support. The selection of mullion is dependent on several factors: The span (the distance between the fixings to supporting structure) The mullion centres (up to using AA 100 Curtain walling) Windload (up to 2400 Pa) Maximum weight of infill is 600kg The deflection limitations of the glazing system The drainage method required; zone or mullionGuidance on this element of the Curtain wall design shouldbe sought from the Kawneer Architectural Services Features and Benefits Concealed drainage offering better aesthetics Maximum glazing up to 50mm Large choice of face caps to enable total design flexibility to suite your individual aesthetic requirements Bespoke face caps available (subject to approval)
