Reynaers Aluminium, a leading European supplier of innovative and sustainable architectural aluminium solutions, announces the release of its latest product range in façade elements in May 2009. The CW 65-EF and CW 65-EF-SG range will fit neatly into Reynaers’ existing curtain wall range, between the CW 50, CW 60 and the Reynaers CW 86 products.

With the growing concern for sustainable energy conservation and the associated awareness of man’s carbon footprint, architects and investors are evermore considering the powerful qualities of sustainable climate control offered by the element façade. Apart from its good thermal insulation, it adds rich possibilities to the designers’ and architects’ scope of creative potential in modern building design. The new CW 65-EF addresses all of these and more.

CW 65-EF
An Element Façade creates large advantages in the construction of high rise buildings. Not only can elements be completely built in the workshop, including gaskets, glass panes, and some anchoring components. On site the assembly of the total façade is limited to mounting the completed elements in place using the pre placed anchors. Such a technique will significantly decrease the installation time of the façade.

CW 65-EF-SG
The CW 65-EF-SG system offers an aesthetically pleasing, yet economical structural glazing option. Although the visible width of the aluminium construction on the inside is 65 mm, the visible joint between the two glass plates on the outside is a tiny 16 mm, which is finished off with a recessed EPDM seal, creating a completely flush impression and hiding the construction frames below. In this instance the structural glass plates are glued directly onto a preassembled anodised frame, reducing the number of required components and further reducing construction time. This also guarantees excellent cohesion of glass to profiles. Working this way enables the replacement of broken glass panes to be partly undertaken in the workshop. Glass thickness can vary from 4 to 40 mm.
