Window Wall
Tubelite® Inc. has introduced its 950SG Series Therml=Block™ Window Wall system. The four-side, structural sealant glazed (SSG) window wall provides a thermally broken, aluminum framing solution for between-slab horizontal spans on commercial buildings. The system’s dual-strut ultra-thermal barrier contributes to high-performance, energy-efficient building envelopes.
A vertical, extruded silicone gasket eliminates the need for an exterior-applied wet seal, and a single-piece anti-buckling clip simplifies installation. Tubelite’s new 950SG Series 2-1/4”-wide thermal framing has a system depth of 6”. Extrusion and brake metal options are offered for integrated slab edge covers. Three sill variations are available as 3-1/4” standard, 2-1/4” low-profile, and SSG with no exposed metal.
Tubelite’s 950SG Series thermal window wall with SSG sill achieves up to a U-factor of 0.33 for thermal transmittance per NFRC 102 and a frame condensation resistance factor of 82 per AAMA 1503. The system also has been successfully tested to meet industry standards for acoustic, air, water, and structural performance.
Tubelite further supports building teams’ environmental goals and product selection with material transparency and documentation. The aluminum used to produce Tubelite’s 950SG Series window wall framing can be extruded using EcoLuminum™, an aluminum billet composition with a high recycled content. The aluminum is finished in a choice of high-performance standard anodized or paint finishes. Specialty finishes, custom colors, and dual finishes also may be specified.
