Our Curtain Wall system is a thermally insulated construction, designed for a wide variety of applications. Curtian walling is suitable for low or high rise applications, new build industrial units or office refurbishment. Shopfronts Doors, Sliding Doors (optional automatic sliding) and Windows can be combined within the curtain wall screening. Available in anodised or polyester powder coat paint finish and dual colour options are also available.

A proven system complying with the demands of architects, local authorities and property managers for projects around the U.K. for both new buildings and refurbishments, meeting the latest building regulations.
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 sealant 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.
50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 125mm Double-Glazed Transom options
The MC curtain wall system designed to create a dramatic but practical façade, with the option of sloped and facet-shaped glazing whilst allowing maximum light into small or large multi-storey buildings. Rapid on-site installation and concealed transoms, for seamless/uninterrupted glass to glass joints, are among the many special features of this versatile polyamide thermal break system. The system incorporates a top hung frameless vent and
also accomodates all Smarts windows, doors and horizontal sliders.
Example of an MC curtain wall project on a local school refurbishment:
SC Frame is a curtain wall system designed to provide optimum thermal performance and rapid on site installation, facilitated by the ladder frame method of construction, i.e, pre-assembled in sections during fabrication. SC Frame is suitable of use in low to medium rise facades, such as large shop fronts and showrooms where the application demands an attractive glazing system that delivers maximum glass area and ingress of light. The system will accommodate a wide range of Smarts window and entrance doors.
Extruded aluminium is Aluminium Alloy 6063 T6 to BS EN755 Part9:2001
Anodising: i) Natural ( silvers) anodised to BS3897, 1991 and ii) Anolok Bronze colour 547 anodised to BS3897, 1991. Anodising is to a minimum of 25 microns(AA25). Powder Coating is to BS6496, 1984.
Gasketry is manufactured in accordance with BS3734 and BS7412, cat A.
50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 125mm Single-Glazed Transom options
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.
50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 125mm Double-Glazed Head and Cill options
The Curtain Walling in all glazing methods have been independently tested and has achieved the following results:
Air Permeability 600Pa(Class C)
Water Tightness 600Pa
Wind Resistance 2400Pa
Separate figures are available for Thermal U-values depending on type of frame and glazing material.
