DESCRIPTION
Advanced Curtain Wall quick project description: The panels meet the slab at a straight line while projecting in between slabs along an un- dulating line up to 20” away from edge of slab. Structural glazing eliminates the visual presence of mullion lines on the façade, and the sizing and general pattern is designed to reduce IGU warp- ing requirements to a minimum. The unit system is composed of aluminum extrusions with one fixed part and the other hinging against it. 99TRANSCRIPT

quick project description: The panels
meet the slab at a straight line while
projecting in between slabs along an un-
dulating line up to 20” away from edge
of slab. Structural glazing eliminates
the visual presence of mullion lines on
the façade, and the sizing and general
pattern is designed to reduce IGU warp-
ing requirements to a minimum. The
unit system is composed of aluminum
extrusions with one fixed part and the
other hinging against it.
