THERMO-3 Series

HIGH PERFORMANCE UNITIZED CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS

PERFORMANCE

Air Infiltration
Air infiltration shall not exceed 0.03 cfm/ft2 when tested in accordance with ASTM E283 with a pressure differential of 6.24 psf.

Water Infiltration
There shall be no infiltration of water to the interior face of the system assembly when tested in accordance with ASTM E331. Water application (5 gal/hr/ft2) at a pressure differential up to 20 psf.

Dynamic Water Resistance
There shall be no infiltration of water to the interior face of the system assembly when tested in accordance with ASTM 501.1-83. Water application (5 gal/hr/ft2) at a pressure differential of 12.5 psf.

Structural Performance
The deflection of any framing member in a direction normal or perpendicular to the plane of the wall when subjected to a uniform load shall not exceed L/175 of the clear span or 3/4” maximum when tested in accordance ASTM 330.

Thermal
Average weighted system “U” value for the wall assembly shall not exceed 0.25 btu/hr/ft2-Fº. This value may vary according to glass selection, framing configuration and spandrel to vision ratios. Please contact the manufacturer for detailed analysis for specific projects.

Condensation Resistance Factor (CRF) – minimum 75 when tested in accordance with AAMA 1503-98. Values may increase according to frame configuration.
