SCW Curtain Wall Scope This specification covers the materials, sections and accessories generally available from stock through the Senior Aluminium Systems group of companies. It illustrates typical recommendations for the fabrication of our SCW series Curtain Walling. Refer to SD & SFG Manual for data on insert door assembly. There are also a range of thermally broken window inserts available and are illustrated in separate manuals. The sections and fittings described in this manual are not definitive or exclusive in application but show typical assemblies using standard materials and accessories. These details are suitable for installations in both new buildings and re-furbishments, which should comply with the latest building regulations. Construction SCW Curtain Wall framing is constructed using mechanical methods at butt joints. Assembly uses stainless steel self-tapping screws into integral screw ports extruded into the body of the sections, directly through square cut adjoining component parts. A proprietary sealant to protect against water entry should always be used on all metal-to-metal and gaskets to gaskets joints during assembly Vertical sections are designed to run through which enables individual panels to be made separately and ease the problems associated with handling or transporting large, or multi panel, frames when fully assembled. Optional shear blocks are available for joint and sectional re-inforcing or expansion joints and larger spans, over 1200mm. Glazing options include single glazing 6.0mm or 10.0mm(using adaptors) and Double-glazing 28mm. At all times good working practices should be employed. Accessories All accessories shown in this manual are deemed to be both typical, and suitable for, the installations intended. They are generally standard items, which carry with them the manufacturers guarantees and are components that are held in stock. Testing SCW Series curtain walling, in all glazing methods shown in this manual, has been independently tested and has achieved the following results: - SCW utilising Aluminium pressure plate: Air Permeability 600Pa (class C) Water Tightness 600Pa Wind Resistance 2400Pa 2.1.iii 07.08 SCW utilising SCWPPP Plastic pressure plate: Air Permeability 600Pa (class C) Water Tightness 600Pa Wind Resistance 2000Pa Separate figures are available for Thermal U-values depending on type of frame and glazing material Materials Extruded aluminium is Aluminium Alloy 6063.T6 to BS EN 755 part9: 2008. Anodizing: i) Natural (Silver) anodised to BS3897, 1991. and ii) Anolok Bronze Colour 547 anodised to BS3987, 1991. Anodising is to a minimum of 25 microns (AA25). Powder Coating is to BS6496, 1984. Gasketry is manufactured in accordance with BS3734 and BS7412, cat A. Glazing Note: All Glazing should be carried out to the recommendations of B.S.6262. Single glazing adaptor sections are designed to take glass thickness of 10mm and 6mm. Each pane of glass is individually inserted into a fully rebated and prepared opening. Gasket or foam tape seals to the inside create a bond between the glass and the main structure. Glass is retained in position by pressure plates screwed into extruded screw ports in the face of the main sections. Cover caps conceal the fixings screws for an aesthetic exterior appearance. For Double-glazing there is a standard unit thicknesses of 28mm. Also up to 10mm glass can be achieved using adaptors (See Section A). Double-glazing is carried out in the same manner as single glazing. Doors can be incorporated directly into the aluminium framing using standard assembly and glazing methods as detailed in SD & SFG Manual. Site Installation Site fixing of finished frames should take into account all applicable standards with regard to both the method employed and safe working practices. Frame fixings should be suitable for the purpose given site conditions and materials into which the installation is to be made. If in doubt, please check with your fixings supplier regarding type and method to be used. Machinery Requirements Senior Aluminium Systems SCW Curtain Wall systems are designed to facilitate assembly with a minimum of equipment. It is however advisable that a positive approach be made to available machinery, and it s use, to ensure good quality of finished work with any aluminium product.
