CRL-U.S. Aluminum
CRL-U.S. Aluminum’s 4500 SG series structural silicone glazed curtainwall is a 1-inch glazing system for low- to mid-rise buildings. It is thermally broken, and a pocket reducer is available for 1/4-inch glazing. The exterior glazed curtainwall has a captured glazed vertical mullion and no pressure bar. It features an integral UNIflash System that sweeps infiltrated water to the exterior.
Kawneer Co. Inc.
Kawneer’s 1620UT and 1620UT SSG Curtain Wall Systems can be used for a traditional captured look, or two-sided vertical SSG mullion style with greater uninterrupted sightlines. They have a 2-inch sightline, and use concealed fasteners in joinery construction to create flush and unbroken sightlines. The curtainwalls have an engineered polymer thermal separator and accommodate 1-inch insulating glass.
Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope
Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope’s ArmorGarde and ArmorOne forced-entry-resistant glass and glazing systems tested at Level 5 for ASTM E2395 Standard Specification for Voluntary Security Performance of Window and Door Assemblies. Additionally, the systems tested at Missile Level E for ASTM E1996, which uses heavy and high-velocity missiles.
