Capped Aluminium Curtain Wall System

This is a system where all elements of the façade are brought together on site and assembled. In contrast to the unitised panel systems, the required production manpower is less, but the installation manpower required is excessive in classic façades. Vertical bearing profiles (mullions) and horizontal bearing profiles (transoms) form the supporting aluminium frame structure together with anchors which can be adjusted in 3 directions to create the façade surface.Then, the gaps in the aluminium frame are filled with glass and installation is completed. In classic façades with caps, glass is installed in the aluminium frames using under cap profiles and cap profiles. Therefore, on the borders of the glass panels, these cover profiles are seen from the exterier view.

But in structural silicon façades, first the glass is bonded with the frame profile. Afterwards, these frames with glass are installed in the aluminium structure. Structural silicon façades are called "glass to glass façades" due to the continuous glass effect at the exterior view. In fact, these façades are named after their production and installation methods. Classic façade systems are more economical, easily producable, and more flexible compared to panel systems. Because of these advantages, they are suited to building façades, which are not excessively tall, but dynamic or curved. "
