YKK AP America Inc. offers two new window wall glazing systems for multistory buildings: the YWW 50 TU and YWW 60 TU. The YWW 50 TU is a 5-inch-deep system, and the YWW 60 TU is a 6-inch-deep system. Both systems have a slab edge cover that looks like a curtainwall application. A glass plane is set to the front to maximize thermal performance. The systems have mullion options that allow glazing from the interior or exterior. Two-sided structural silicone glazing is also an option.
