Curtain Wall

ARCAL 50 is a pressure plate and cap system.

The glazing or the insert windows are mechanically retained by a pressure plate, which is fixed to the nosing via a thermal isolator.

The pressure plate is extruded to receive snap on cap profiles of different shapes and sizes to cover the cap fixings.

The system width is 50mm with the depth of the profiles varying in order to make up the required structural span.

Different types of opening vents can be glazed into the glazing pocket of the system giving the flexibility of a naturally ventilated building.

Arcal 63 SL is a modular cassette curtain walling system with an exterior profile of 63mm

ARCAL Curtain Walling is a design of interconnecting mullions and transoms, which are designed for spanning from floor to floor of any given building.

The mullions and transoms incorporate different depths in order to satisfy the differing structural requirements as imposed by span, module and dead load deflection and applied loads.

The ARCAL curtain walling system incorporates a secondary drainage method by means of overlapping chambers that allows any moisture ingress to be channelled from the transom to the mullion and to the cill of the system where it can be discharged.

The nosing of the ARCAL Curtain Walling System has been designed to receive the mechanical fixing for the various insets and cassettes that can be integrated into the stick system.

The nosing also has been designed with a twin wall construction to allow support plates for external applications, which can be fixed within the designed wet zone.

The mullions and transoms are also designed with recessed grooves to allow the insertion of EPDM air seal gaskets and thermal breaks.

The ARCAL range of curtain wall systems have been independently tested in accordance with BS 6235 part 1 & 2 and in accordance with Centre for Window and Cladding Technology (CWCT) classifications.

Cladding & Rain Screen Solutions

Cladding & Rain Screen systems are able to provide technical performance criteria and accommodating fire performance, resistance to moisture, detailing around fenestration and openings, acoustics, environmental concerns and the host of other technical properties commonly required.

Wall Cladding & Rain Screen systems also offer a wider range of choice, able to provide an attractive finish with a selection of Half Round, Sinusoidal or Trapezoidal profile sheet laid horizontally helps create an interesting façade, and can appear less 'industrial' in its appearance than a vertically laid profile.

Structural Glazed Solutions

Structural glazing is a system of bonding glass to a building's structural framing members utilising a high strength, high performance silicone sealant specifically designed and tested for structural glazing, dynamic wind loads are transferred from the glass, by the structural silicone sealant, to the perimeter structural support.

This allows a broader Architectural design flexibility increases the thermal efficiency of buildings, because the exterior exposure of metal framing is either reduced or eliminated, reduces or eliminates water and air infiltration also reduces the potential for thermal breakage of glass.
