Description

Timber curtain walling system which provides an approved glazing technology application to structural members made of engineered timber from 50 mm width.

The system design assures strict separation between the structural elements and the functional components of aluminium profile and gaskets.

Available in two variants and a range of system types.

Features and benefits:

  • Stepless thermal insulation by means of RAICO Insulating Block Technology.
  • Two types of screw fixed aluminium base profiles; with or without profile locator.
  • Quick and easy fitting of the base profiles; also suitable for assembly with magazine fed electric screwdrivers.
  • No external components penetrate through to the timber frame.
  • System uses isothermal lines to avoid the formation of condensate and control surface temperature.
  • A range of cover and base profiles are available dependent on project requirements.
  • Extensive system accessories.

Excellent product properties

  • System widths 50, 56, 76 and 96 mm.
  • Infill thickness from 6 to 64 mm.
  • Maximal energy saving by variable thermal insulation with insulating block options up to Uf= 0.80 W/(m²K) including screw influence.
  • All profiles can be used as well for mullions as for transoms.

Optimum planning

  • Glass load transmission for very high glass weights up to 600 kg.
  • Construction as polygon curtain wall up to 45° with system
  • accessories.
  • Entire imposed load and load transmission tested.

Efficient installation

  • Two types of aluminium base profiles for screw connection:
    • With or without positioning foot in the area of the timber structural profile.
  • Solid timber connector technology in the options SOLO and KOMBI, tested according to The European Technical Approval (ETA).
  • Integrated drainage of the continuous gasket in three levels.
  • Safe fixation of all construction elements in the continuous aluminium screw channel.
  • Easy and quick screwing of base profiles also with magazine screw driver possible

Manufacturer guidance

Connectors to be specified based on required glass loads - consult manufacturer for details.

Perimeter seals

Exterior gasket.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Various exterior gaskets and insulating block options available.
  • Gradual adaptation of the insulation value.
  • Maximum thermal insulation up to Uf = 0.80 W/(m²K) including screw influence.
  • Certified passive house curtain wall.
  • Economic solution.

Transom and mullion gaskets.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Optimized shape for maximum thermal insulation and efficient fabrication.
  • Complete covering and sealing of the base profile.
  • Perfect and easy fitting on the structural profile (without silicone).
  • Two options of gaskets with flaps for transom and base drainage as well as draining within the continuous gasket at the structural connections.
  • Reliable drainage in two or three levels by simply notching.
  • Special accessories for all applications, e. g. transom and mullion sealing elements.

System accessories

Not required.
Solar protection fastening.

Guidance for specification option:

  • For all series I and V of the THERM+ systems.
  • All system widths.
  • Subsequent installation, including existing curtain walls and roofs, possible at any time.
  • For 20 to 64 mm infill thicknesses.
  • Only use in "pairs".

Scaffolding fixation.

Guidance for specification option:

  • All system widths.
  • For clipped cover profiles, visibly screwed pressure profiles and flat pressure profiles.
  • Remain hidden in the facade construction.
  • Subsequent and secure mounting of scaffolding always possible without any expenditure.

System types

Passive House.

Guidance for specification option:

The standard THERM+ system can easily be upgraded to passive house certified standard with minimal additional components. Passive house projects can therefore be fitted with energy saving glazing in a generous, cost effective way, independent of their supporting projects.

Structural SG2.

Guidance for specification option:

The THERM+ Structural Glazing SG2 curtain wall systems feature the most intricate glazing technique. A narrow silicone joint is the only visible line between the insulation glass panes. Retention of the internal pane is enabled easily, quickly and securely with the use of SG glazing toggles. By utilising the SG insulating block, curtain walls achieve outstanding thermal insulation values.

Burglar resistant.

Guidance for specification option:

All THERM+ curtain wall variants may be made burglar resistant in accordance with the German resistance categories RC2 and RC3 by adding a few supplementary system components. Providing maximum creative possibilities, all system widths and all types of pressure plates with clip on cover caps, visible screw fixings, as well as flat pressure profile plates (in RC2) may be used.

Fire protection (EI30).

Guidance for specification option:

Minor additions to the standard THERM+ system are all that is needed to construct fire resistant curtain wall in a range of protection classes. The maximum size of 1920 x 3000 mm glazing panels provides a new dimension in fire protection.

With glass roof.

Guidance for specification option:

Up to 2° inclination.
