Ykk curtain wall installation

To ensure long-term structural integrity, the dead load of the insulating glass rests on integrated structural supports, diverting this load away from the thermal barriers.

This energy saving storefront system features a dual thermal barrier design to significantly reduce heat transfer and keep internal surfaces warmer. Designers now have a solution that can be applied to both curtain wall and storefront facades to maintain a consistent appearance across the building envelope. The project featured the enerGfacade line with products from the entrances, storefront and curtainwall categories.
