1. TECHNAL French Profile
A building's façade is its architect signature. Through its emphasis on creativity and adoptability, TECHNAL developed a versatile and comprehensive range of curtain walls such as MX-MXSG-MX Vec and customized façades for special projects.
i. MX Visible Grid
• Glass width from 6 to 32 mm
• Less deflection across the transoms allows the system to hold large heavy glazing units.
• Projection top hung open-out and Tilt/Turn concealed vent for natural ventilation.
ii. MX SG Structural Glazing
• No additional frames bonded on the glasses
• Glass width from 36 to 42 mm
• Glazing directly fixed on the structure without intermediate frame
• No sticking on aluminum profile
• Compatible with visible grid allowing to vary between MX /SG
• Top hung open -out is the only choice for vent.
iii. MX SSG Structural Sealing Glazing
• No additional frames bonded on the glasses
• The Glazed units are bonded into the carrier frame with silicone
• Glass width from 6 to 31 mm
• Glass Maximum weight 200KG
• A choice of fixed lights, top hung open-out and tilt/turn concealed vents
2. Alakso / Sidem 2000 Lebanese Profile
i. CW Visible Grid Pressure Plate
• Glass width from 6 to 32 mm
• Less deflection across the transoms allows the system to hold large heavy glazing units.
• Projection top hung open-out and Tilt/Turn concealed vent for natural ventilation.
ii. VEG Structural Glazing
• No additional frames bonded on the glasses
• Glass width from 36 to 42 mm
• Glazing directly fixed on the structure without intermediate frame
• No sticking on aluminum profile
• Top hung open -out is the only choice for vent.
3. BERTI Italian Profile
The interest of architects and engineers for original, advanced and elaborate applications led to the introduction of the Structural Silicone Glazed Curtain Wall.
This type of window panel has been tested and found to conform to European standard relative to:
- Tearing Resistance of Hinge Pins
- Functional Safety Testing (10,000 cycles) without sustaining any functional deterioration (report No.54361 dated 30/3/93 GIORDANO Institute)
Advantages
· No external aluminum element visible in the Structural Glazing System
· Adjoining glazing elements have a gap of approximately 10 mm between one another, both vertically and horizontally, rendering the facade more even
· Better rigidity of the aluminum structure
· Each panel remains statically independent from the neighboring one, allowing easy expansion of the component, the absorption of thermal expansion as well as the absorption of minor earthquakes tremors accompanied by energy dispersion
· No architectural differences between the open able and the fixed panels
· Better rigidity of the aluminum structure
