AA®100 HI Curtain Wall System

Introduction

Our market-leading stick-frame assembly featuring Passive House performance criteria with additional weather performance achieved by drainage and ventilation of the glazing rebates. Drainage and ventilation occurs at every mullion and transom connection in a zone drained system and at the base and above mullion joints in a mullion drained system.

The system is available in a variety of mullion depths which combined with several thermal break options and aesthetic external capping allows a specifier the flexibility of design to make their own statement. The system has outstanding performance and its ease of installation makes it possible to suit individual project requirements.

Please see the below to assist with choosing the right system for your project:
Zone or Mullion Drained?

Design Considerations
A comprehensive range of mullions and transoms allow façades to be designed with minimal structural support.

The selection of mullion is dependent on several factors:

• The span (the distance between the fixings to supporting structure)
• The mullion centres (up to 3.0m using AA®100 curtain walling)*
• Windload (up to 2400 Pa)
• Maximum weight of infill (up to 700kg)
• The deflection limitations of the glazing system
• The drainage method required; i.e. zone or mullion

Guidance on this element of the curtain wall design should be sought from the Kawneer Architectural Services Team.

_{* For mullion centres greater than 3.0m contact the Technical Services Team at Runcorn.}
