System 17-65
Facilitating multi-storey construction
Metal Technology have launched their new System 17-65 , 65mm Curtain Walling . Designed for use in high-rise or multi-storey applications , the system accommodates greater floor slab deflection and glass movement .
Based on the successful System 17 50mm Curtain Walling , this latest system also adopts the same stick built assembly process , with overlapping transom to mullion connections , and incorporates many of the same manufacturing and installation principles used within our System 17 . Based on 65mm wide mullion and transom profiles , System 17-65 facilitates greater glass movement , caused by increased differential mullion movement often associated with large floor slab spans , greater floor slab deflection , taller glass units , and larger building movement often found in modern high-rise buildings .
The system can accommodate up to 54mm thick glass units , in 1mm increments , to facilitate a wide variety of double , and triple glazed units to help facilitate even the most demanding thermal , guarding and / or acoustic requirements .
To complement its successful testing to CWCT weather performance and PAS 24 security standards , System 17-65 has also completed acoustic testing to BS EN ISO 10140-2 at the UKAS accredited test facility at Warrington Fire , using a variety of acoustic glazing configurations .
The system incorporates a suite of structural mullion and transom profiles , ranging from 50mm to 225mm , along with a range of projecting cover cap options . A flat pressure cap also offers a cost effective alternative to silicone pointing while still accommodating increased building movement without compromising on glass cover and the performance of the system .
