Kawneer’s Blast Enhanced Curtain Wall System is designed as a stick-frame assembly and is available in a variety of mullion depths.
Currently there are three methods for designing blast enhanced products. There are :-
Compliance with Defence Works Functional Standard, Design and Maintenance Guide G2 – Glazing standards for MOD buildings subject to terrorist threat
Simplified design where threat is agreed
Dynamic Assessment where blast properties are given
The Kawneer blast enhanced curtain wall system has been range tested to ensure its performance. It is designed as a stick-frame assembly with weather performance achieved by drainage and ventilation of the glazing rebates.
The system features zone drainage as a design principle where each glazed panel is self-drained. Drainage and ventilation is achieved via protected slots in the pressure plate.
The system is available in a variety of mullion depths. When combined with the thermal break options and aesthetic external capping provides flexibility of design, outstanding performance and ease of installation to suite individual project requirements.
