Safe and Sustainable
Novastruct curtain walling uses straightforward material choices that maximise reuse and recycling potential at end of life.
Frame materials are 100% recyclable, and extruded aluminium contains more than 75% recycled content.
Design Considerations
A comprehensive range of mullions and transoms enables façades to be designed with reduced structural intervention.
The selection of mullion is influenced by several factors:
The span (the distance between fixings to the supporting structure)
The mullion centres (up to 3.0m using FSX 100 curtain walling)*
Wind load (up to 2400 Pa)
Maximum infill weight (up to 700kg)
Deflection limits of the glazing system
Required drainage method; i.e. zone or mullion
Additional Information
Proven Performance
With CWCT Sequence B testing and certification, FSX 100 HI has an established long-term performance record across a broad range of projects.
Design Flexibility
Mullion and transom capping options, including a patented transom overlap detail, provide enhanced opportunities for aesthetic customisation.
Revit/BIM
Novastruct’s BIM Models are downloadable in the Revit format and also available on request as IFC files. Our BIM Models provide users with 3D images of the products as well as the critical COBIE data to provide guidance through the whole design and construction process.
