FA 50SG
Purpose
The FACADE 50 SG and SG-M system (FA 50 SG and SG-M) is an aluminium profile system designed for the construction of modern curtain walls with simple and complex shapes (turns, bends, polygonal layouts). The exterior side of the curtain wall remains smooth, without visible aluminium cover strips.
Technical description
The load-bearing structure of the curtain wall consists of vertical profiles (mullions) and horizontal profiles (transoms) with a box-shaped cross-section and a standard width of 50 mm. It is possible to use mullions with depths ranging from 26 to 212 mm and transoms from 20 to 120 mm. In the fields of the load-bearing structure, infills made of insulated glazing units mounted in aluminium frames can be used. The thickness of the infill ranges from 26 to 32 mm. The glass pane is fixed to the aluminium frame in two ways: FACADE 50 SG – structural glazing, FACADE 50 SG-M – mechanical glass mounting. Aluminium frames holding the glass may function as a top-hung window or as a fixed glazing unit. It is possible to form infill zones that create spandrel bands with a defined fire resistance class (EI 15 – EI 120). High air and water tightness is ensured through the use of EPDM gaskets. Mounting the curtain wall structure to the building is done using special aluminium brackets.
