Steelbuilt Curtainwall

Product catalog summary
Overview: SteelBuilt Curtainwall Systems by Technical Glass Products offer significant advantages over traditional aluminum curtainwall systems, including larger spans, narrower sight lines, and improved thermal performance. These systems have been tested to North American standards and are suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
Features:
  • Three times the wind load capacity compared to standard aluminum systems.
  • Greater material strength allows for lower profile depths.
  • Superior thermal performance and reduced thermal expansion.
  • Water-tight joints with no visible weld bead.
  • Easy installation similar to typical pressure plate curtainwall.
  • Available in stainless steel and low maintenance.
  • Factory-painted finishes to match desired color schemes.
  • Fabricated in the U.S.A.
Testing: The systems have undergone rigorous testing, including:
  • AAMA 501.1 Dynamic Water Penetration
  • ASTM E283 Air Performance
  • ASTM E331 Static Water Penetration
  • ASTM E330 Structural Performance
Thermal Transmittance: U-Factors are determined in accordance with NFRC 100, with values varying based on specific product configurations. Glass properties are based on center of glass values.
System Comparison: Compared to typical aluminum curtainwall systems, SteelBuilt offers:
  • Narrower frame width and depth.
  • Larger spans and glass sizes without additional reinforcements.
  • Enhanced durability due to the strength of steel profiles.
Design Criteria: The system supports an overall height of 20 feet without intermediate anchors, with specific design pressures and deflection criteria.
