Construction

SCW Curtain Wall uses a box and plate format for factory frame assembly using mechanical methods at butt joints. Assembly uses stainless steel or plated self-tapping screws into integrated screw ports extruded into the body of the sections, directly through square cut adjoining component parts.

Vertical sections are designed to run through. This enables individual panels to be made separately and eases the problems associated with handling or transporting large or multi-panel frames when fully assembled. The system may be glazed using dual gaskets or a combination of tape and gasket to suit individual performance requirements.

Finishes

All Senior Curtain Wall systems are available in mill finish for final finishing by others or can be supplied in a full range of polyester powder or anodised finishes.
