Panelized curtain wall system

Safti First introduces the patent-pending, panelized SAFTI-EZ-ARC, designed for use in non-rated or fire-rated applications. SAFTI-EZ-ARC is the first U.S.-made, truly panelized, versatile structurally glazed curtain wall system. Two versions were developed to satisfy non-rated and fire-rated applications: SAFTI-EZ-ARC is a unique panelized system that will provide ease of installation in a curtain wall, while the SAFTI-EZ-ARC-FR is an ASTM E-119/UL 263 fire-resistive rated version recently successfully tested and listed by UL up to 2 hours. Additional testing is scheduled to meet hurricane, blast and tornado requirements.

Window wall

YKK AP's YWW 60 XT Window Wall is designed to meet the most stringent thermal requirements. Ideal for mid-to-high rise building applications, it accommodates higher structural loads and up to 12-foot mullion spans. 

It features a U-factor of 0.36 BTU/HR/SF with a COG of 0.29 with standard one-inch glass. Thermal performance is enhanced by 40 mm polyamide isostruts, along with YKK AP’s patented ThermaBond Plus® technology. It offers:

Pre-glazed or field-glazed;
Inside or Outside Glazed;
Captured, 2, 3, or 4-sided SSG configurations;
Dual-finish capability;
Large glazing pocket to accommodate one-inch insulating glass or 1-5/16-inch insulating laminated glass for enhanced acoustical performance;
2 ½-inch sightline for pre-glazed and field-glazed options;
Fully re-glazeable from the interior or exterior, depending on the preferred configuration; and,
Minimally offset slab edge cover to mimic the look of traditional curtain wall, with room to insulate the area behind the slab edge cover to improve thermal performance.

Fire-rated system

Reflection Window and Wall earned a public Listing# STI/BPF 180-02 for its notched curtain wall system, the UWall U8000. The U8000 assembly underwent an exhaustive fire-testing process, without glass or other infills, conducted by Intertek Laboratories and overseen by Specified Technologies Inc. This peer-reviewed public listing proves RWW’s cladding system can be used in glass applications.
