CW 65-ElementFaçade enables unitised façades to be completely preassembled in the workshop. This results in a high execution speed on site. Productivity here however embraces architectural esthetic requirements as the CW 65-EF works with slender profiles of only 65 mm. The slender profile is very strong and can be used for maximum widths of 1600 mm and heights up to 3700 mm. The façade system is thus very well suited for high-rise constructions. Profiles can easily be adapted to fit project depending requirements.
CW 65-EF provides increased insulation with an Uf value of up to 2.6 W/m²K. The Opening elements such as a top hung and parallel opening window can also be integrated into the system. CW 65-EF is available in Structural Glazing which is utilised in a very aesthetic fashion. The only border between two glass plates is a minimal joint of 16 mm, which is finished off with a recessed EPDM seal. The glass plate itself is glued directly onto a preassembled frame, thereby reducing the required number of components and minimising the construction time.

6mm to 42mm glazing available as a flat façade or faceted up to 20°.
Specific version for single glazing from 6 to 10.80mm.
Superior load distribution with less deflection across the transoms, allowing the system to hold large, heavy glazing units.
Projecting top hung open-out, and tilt/turn concealed vents for natural ventilation whilst maintaining an uninterrupted flat façade.
Construction
The mullions and transoms are square cut and assembling using a combination of cast face-fixed junction spigots and concealed anti-rotation spigots for ease of fabrication.
The faceted glazing option uses a standard cast face-fixed spigot for a facet of +-10°, and a transom block with specially designed pressure plate, caps and adaptators for 10° to 20° facets.
Weather Performance
The MX visible grid system is thermally isolated using a 34mm TPE thermal break between the pressure plate and mullion or transom.
This ensures a superior thermal performance in line with the required building level to achieve.
A pressure plate holds the infill in place with a combination of EPDM gaskets and allows for zone drainage with pressure equalization using punched slots into the pressure plates and caps.

State-of-the-art curtain wall systems are based on unitized technology. Unitized curtain wall is shop-fabricated, shop-glazed, and installed as individual frames or ‘units’. Frames are normally one lite wide and one storey high, but double-width and double-height frames are not uncommon. The ‘added-value proposal’ behind unitization centers around performing all possible labor in the shop (not on site), because:
- Unitized installation allows the Builder to close in the building quickly, normally steps behind the concrete pours, getting Inside Trades to work, and hastening turnover and commercialization of the building
- Unitized fabrication enhances quality control (and minimizes defects in workmanship) by performing all possible work in factory-controlled conditions. Critical workmanship includes application of joint seals, priming and curing of structural silicones, installation of gaskets, and related quality inspection
- Unitized installation minimizes field labor costs by transferring labor operations into the shop wherever possible. Fully-unitized systems include shop-installation of all in-fills (glazing, spandrel, panels, stone, etc). More sophisticated systems even have the glazing caps shop-installed, so Trades do not have to work outside of the building envelope on the main portions of the curtain wall.

The solar constant is the radiant power of the sun before it enters into the atmosphere: average measurement of 137G W/mq. In Italy, the average value of insulation is between 1200 and 1750 KWh/mq per year, Solar panel technology has the advantage of directly transforming sunlight into electric energy, through a passive process |without the absorbing or consuming energy). In fact, it uses the sun which is en unlimited fuel and does not release noxious emissions into the atmosphere saving lulograma of carbon di-oxide (C02). The use of integrated solar pane! systems architecturally can open up new frontiers in the formation of new building designs, where the constructive element becomes an active component which increases the amount of money saved on energy.

1、Unitized Curtain Wall System:
Project: 6 Mort Street, Australia
The unitized curtain wall system is usually applied on the buildings which have a uniform exterior wall design. It can control and ensure the overall quality of the product; ensure the accuracy of installation; shorten the construction period considerably; provides "flexible skin" which enables the curtain wall to withstand building movement and thermal movement; provides an effective water drainage system and a pressure-equalized system.
2、Stick Curtain Wall System:
Project: North Tower Smaralind, Iceland Europe
The stick wall system can be used on any type of structure or exterior wall. These systems tend to work best on highly intricate or articulated wall designs.
3、Hybrid Curtain Wall System:
Project: Highline 23 Tower, New York
The hybrid wall system is best for use on buildings where a compromise between a unitized wall system and a stick wall system is required due to design or construction issues. It tends to use the better qualities of each to allow smaller, more manageable units.
4、Window Wall System:
The window wall system design is typically utilized on buildings where the structure conflicts with the exterior wall zone forcing the windows to run intermittently between floor slabs.
The window wall design achieves a reasonable amount of performance against air and water infiltration and does tend to surpass the curtain wall in acoustic ability (basically between floors).
