Although it is a simple system in terms of the number of profiles, filling and
installation process, it is still a facade with great features at the design level.
Among the main features we have:
– It is light. The aluminum alloy profiles are resistant and, thanks to their density,
add little weight to the total assembly. Of course, this does not mean that the
system does not have considerable weight, but compared to a traditional facade,
the difference is enormous.
– Allows the use of natural light. This factor is important to reduce energy
expenditure on artificial lighting that the building may need, while allowing the
reduction of electrical energy consumption, which makes it an environmentally
friendly option.
– Does not significantly affect the weight supported by the steel or concrete
structure of the building. Being an independent system, the loads associated with
its weight do not affect the total of the building.
– Serves as a protective element from the rain. The aluminum profiles, together
with the glass panels and sealing elements such as silicone, rubber and others,
prevent the passage of water into the interior of the building.
– Thermal insulation depends on the type of glass used and the layers of
protective paper it has.
