1600 Wall System
Building on the proven success of Kawneer's 1600 Wall System® which set the standards for curtain wall engineering, 1600 Wall System®1 and 1600 Wall System®2 provide reliability with versatile features. Both are stick-fabricated, pressure glazed curtain walls for low-to-mid-rise applications and are designed to be used independently or as an integrated system to provide visual impact for almost any type of building.
Aesthetics
Even the smallest details of 1600 System®1/1600 Wall System®2 reflect the aesthetics and reliability that derive from Kawneer's precise engineering and experience. The joinery for both systems is accomplished with concealed fasteners to create unbroken lines and a monolithic appearance. When using optional, open back horizontal mullions, the fillers snap at the edge, producing an uninterrupted sight line.
Performance
Key aspects of 1600 System®1 and 1600 Wall System®2 are enhanced for higher performance. Pressure equalization has been designed into the system and all components are silicone compatible to provide superior longevity. For installations where severe weather conditions
are prevalent, 1600 Wall System®1 has been large missile hurricane impact and cycle tested. Proven through years of high performance, both systems are tested according to industry standards:
-
Air Performance ASTM E-283
-
Static Water Penetration ASTM E-331
-
Dynamic Water Penetration AAMA 501.1
-
Structural Performance ASTM E-330
-
“U” Value, CRF AAMA 1503.1
-
Sound Transmission Rating ASTM E 90-90
-
Seismic Performance AAMA 501.4
Trifab SunShade
The use of sunshades on building façades continues to increase and move down the building. Traditionally, sunshades were most often seen attached to curtain walls. As energy conservation and aesthetics have become equally important, there has been an increased interest in sunshade applications on storefronts. Kawneer's Trifab® SunShade is an easy-to-install option for our Trifab® 451 and Trifab® 451T Storefront Framing systems.
Aesthetics
In addition to shading interiors and conserving energy, Trifab® SunShade adds additional aesthetic appeal to storefronts. By utilizing existing pre-engineered outriggers, louvers and fascia, designers can mix and match components to maintain consistency between the
curtain wall and storefront areas of the overall building facade when sunshades are desired.
