Curtain Wall Metal Spandrel Panel

Panels are manufactured with a metal skin on the interior and exterior of the panel in various thicknesses and sizes to accommodate the design intent.

Curtain wall metal spandrel panel. The green solution for glazing applications. They take the place of 1 or 1 4 thick glass units. Can be used as an alternative to glass in any curtainwall storefront window or spandrel application. With insulation values up to r 27 9 mapes r panels offer a wide variety of solutions to improve the thermal efficiency of window spandrel curtain wall and glazing applications.

Aluminum has a very high thermal conductivity. The insulating characteristics of the panels can be customized with a variety of core choices. Curtain wall frame conductance is a function of the frame material geometry and fabrication e g. Curtain wall insulation rockwool curtain wall insulation provides superior fire resistance in glass metal and masonry curtain wall spandrel systems.

Spandrel back pans back pans are substructure components used in curtain wall systems either behind a metal panel or spandrel glass. When used in combination with rockwool firestopping products they provide a comprehensive firestopping system that has been ul ulc tested and approved for perimeter fire containment systems. Shadow boxes are used for the particular appearance they give. Typically they are used by glass and glazing trades and are sealed and attached to the curtainwall frame behind opaque glazing areas.

Brown colored plate glass spans between the mullions and 1 8 thick muntz metal spandrel panels are used at each floor slab. Spandrel panels are also known as infill panels or insulated aluminum composite panels. A further difference is type of glazing used.

They are commonly used to infill areas of glazing curtain walls or storefronts. These details demonstrate the approach used to construct a copper alloy curtain wall in a historically significant building. When insulation is utilized inboard of the spandrel infill an air space is routinely introduced to prevent thermal damage to the spandrel infill. Why use a shadow box.

They can provide insulation fire safety thermal and moisture protection. Overall curtain wall thermal performance is a function of the glazing infill panel the frame construction behind opaque spandrel and column cover areas and the perimeter details. Spandrel panels are useful to hide areas in glazing systems exposing slab edges and ceiling details. Commonly in spandrel panel application the insulation is butted up against the spandrel glass.
