The aluminum system for glazed facades are used in curtain wall or ribbon facades. As curtain wall, they envelop entire entire faces of buildings or buildings in general and as ribbon façades, they usually close horizontal or vertical openings or isolated elements on one or more building faces.
CHARACTERISTICS OF ALUMINUM SYSTEMS FOR GLAZED FACADES
Aluminum systems for glazed facades are easily recognized, as there have no visible profiles externally. Glass is the dominant visual presence of the facade and is fixed on the aluminum systems, composing a self-supporting structure of aluminum profiles, fixed on the building’s supporting structure, which in most cases can be reinforced concrete or steel.
To meet the criteria and requirements for structural performance and tightness, elastic seals such as EPDM and silicone are a fundamental part of aluminum systems for glazed facades. Its performance is the result of intensive structural calculations, technological tests, which result in detailed fabrication and assembly projects, to be faithfully followed by the fabrication of aluminum systems for glazed facades.
In addition to technical issues, aluminum systems for glazed facades must meet architectural requirements, for example geometry – flat, circular, inclined, etc. – profiles with anodized or painted finish, in table or customized colors, varied dimensions, different glasses, etc.
With the increase in requirements for buildings certified with a sustainability seal, aluminum systems for glazed facades add technology that allows achieving superior performance in terms of thermal comfort, energy efficiency, acoustic comfort and durability.
In order to make the best choice for aluminum systems for glazed facades, it is necessary to assess which technology is employed and the supplier companies involved, since many products are found in the market that only meet aesthetic criteria, without guaranteeing performance or quality.
