Kawneer UK has launched a new version of its AA100 and AA110 curtain wall products with enhancements including a +/- 5mm building expansion joint for its SSG curtain wall variant and a higher weight capacity for its capped option and a concealed vent option within the product.
Designed specifically for the AA100 and AA110 systems in either capped or SSG variants, the concealed vent option utilises a structurally bonded glazed unit and slim aluminium profiles, allowing Kawneer curtain wall systems to be installed with no visible external framing.
The new enhancements result in the AA110 being able to accommodate glazing up to a 50mm depth in the capped system and withstand a maximum weight capacity of 180kg. Available as a top hung vent or a parallel opening window, both types can be manually operated or motorised, using concealed chain drives and integrated locking drives to achieve a seamless internal finish.
The AA110 concealed vent has undergone full CWCT Sequence B testing as part of a larger curtain wall assembly, with proven weather performance. Furthermore, the window has been RC2 security tested to EN 1627, which is the same classification as the existing AA100 and AA110 curtain wall systems.
Technical director Gary Ledger said: “Together with our new +/- 5mm SSG expansion joint and increased weight capacity, the concealed vent option subsequently gives architects ultimate design freedom with our enhanced AA110 curtain wall product by combining exceptional product performance with visual aesthetics and occupancy comfort.”
