Structural curtain wall (aluminium and glass) TECHNAL
MX SSG
MX SSG is a system creating a flush-fitted glass façade, combining the use of fixed glazing units, top-hung vents and glazed spandrel panels.
The appearance of structural glazing is achieved by using profiles that are only visible on the room side. From the outside, only the glazing and slender shadow joints are visible.
MX SSG use the same grid system as MX Visible Grid or Trame, allowing specifiers to vary the aesthetics of the building envelope without the need of additional interface detailing and construction.
Fixed frames with an infill of 30 to 32.8mm for the vision parts.
Spandrel panels with glazing of 6 or 8mm.
Maximum dimensions : W 2.00m * H 3.50m.
Available as a flat façade or faceted up to 6°.
Concealed top-hung windows of 23 or 31mm (Max. weight from 80 to 120 kg and size W 1.50m * H 1.50m).
Construction
A continuous aluminum profile is integrated by the glass manufacturer between the 2 glasses inside the silicone chamber for the fixation on the curtain wall structure.
Carrier frames are securely fitted onto the curtain wall grid using aluminium toggle pieces screwed on the transoms and mullions.
The ABS interlayer is not interrupted in way of fixing the glass to ensure optimal thermal performance and the continuation of silicone seal between refills.
