curtain wall systems.
Key Components:- SSG Facade: Refers to the structural silicone glazing used to attach glass panels to the frame.
- Vertical Gasket: Ensures airtight and watertight seals between panels.
- Mullion: Vertical bars between the panes of glass.
- Insulation: Provides thermal efficiency.
- Warm Edge Spacer: Reduces heat transfer at the edges of the glass.
- Punctual Safety Devices: Enhance the safety of the structure.
- Intermediate, Bottom, and Top Transoms: Horizontal elements that provide structural support.
- Saddle Gasket: Used for sealing and accommodating movement.
