Construction Details
Curtain Wall framing is constructed using mechanical methods at butt joints. Assembly uses stainless steel self-tapping screws into integral screw ports extruded into the body of the sections directly through square cut adjoining component parts. A proprietary sealent to protect against water is used on all metal to metal and gasket to gasket joints during assembly.Vertical sections are designed to run through which enables individual panels to made separately, easing transportation to site and easy assembly of ladder section into larger frames on site.
Optional sheer blocks are available for joint and sectional re-inforcing.

Glazing
Single glazing adaptor sections are designed to take glass thickness of 10mm and 6mm.
Each pane of glass is individually inserted into a fully rebated and prepared opening. Gasket or foam tape seals to the inside create a bond between the glass and the main structure.
Glass is retained in position by pressure plates screwed into the extruded screw ports in the face of the main sections. Cover caps conceal the fixing screws for an aesthetic exterior appearance.
Double-glazing is a standard unit of 28mm. Double -glazing is carried out in the same manner as single glazing.
Doors and windows can be incorporated directly into the aluminium framing using standard assembly and glazing methods. See WEW extensive range of windows and doors for details
