FSX 100 SSG Structurally Silicone Glazed (SSG) Curtain Wall System
FSX 100 Structurally Silicone Glazed (SSG) merges proven Novastruct curtain wall performance with clean, continuous aesthetics for refined façade design and uncompromised structural integrity.
Delivering a flush external glazing finish through a UV-stable silicone-bonded glass-to-glass joint, FSX 100 SSG supports triple glazing across a wide range of thicknesses, enhancing design freedom and visual appeal.
FSX 100 SSG gives specifiers the freedom to design creatively, backed by assured weathertight performance and occupant comfort, making it ideal for landmark schemes or any project where standout appearance and high specification are essential.
Supported throughout Novastruct's comprehensive technical expertise at every stage.

Safe and Sustainable
Novastruct curtain walling is designed using straightforward material choices that maximise reuse and recyclability at end of life.
Frame components are fully recyclable, and extruded aluminium contains over 75% recycled content.
Design Considerations
The grid construction mirrors the FSX 100 mullion-drained system, offering the same straightforward installation approach. A flush external finish is achieved through specially fabricated insulated glazing units, formed using structural silicone sealant and incorporating an integrated channel profile around the perimeter of the glazing cavity. Toggle clips located on the mullions and transoms engage provide mechanical retention to secure each pane within the curtain wall.
The glazing unit is deadload supported by the transom via a combination of setting blocks and glass supports. In addition, façade aesthetics are improved through a flush joint between glass units, using a UV-resistant, weatherproof silicone sealant.
