Mullion and transom curtain wall (aluminium and glass)
www.seralwall.it
made with UPRIGHTS and CROSSPIECES, the structural frame is composed of basic 60mm tubular elements that makes it possible to choose the most appropriate static solution depending on wind loads and the modular dimensions of the facade. These are placed on the inside of the facade and are hence subjected to little temperature variation. The flexible ceiling anchorages allow for three-directional adjustment to compensate any eventual irregularities in the ceilings themselves. The uprights are anchored to the wall structure using aluminium rods. The mounting of the structure and the infill panels is performed from the outside. The external profile has a width of 51mm and rounded corners. The passage of heat between the inside and the outside is prevented by a spacer of insulating material, thus providing the structure with a THERMAL BREAK. All the connections are executed with the utmost precision to avoid seepage of water to the inside. The pressers and trims are fitted with slots to allow the discharge of any water seepage and permit the ventilation of the glass panels. To allow for the movement of the various elements, which dilate when the temperature rises, dilation joints are inserted in the uprights using special grafts. Apertures of various kinds can be inserted in the facade modules, executed utilising thermally-insulated structural sections: external (protruding) windows with "invisible" frames, and internal apertures with visible frames. The facade can also be internally clad with insulating glass modules of a thickness ranging from 6 to 10 and from 22 to 32 mm. (type of glass to be defined).
