General description of system<br />
The <strong>FW</strong> 50 + <strong>SG</strong> façade is based on the tried and tested<br />
<strong>FW</strong> 50 + façade system. Special insert units and glazing details<br />
mean that it can be used as a structural glazing façade with an<br />
inner face width of 50 mm.<br />
The load--bearing structure consists of mullion and transom<br />
profiles with different basic depths, which can be combined to<br />
meet structural or visual requirements.<br />
The glass edge cover is 15 mm.<br />
The mullion and transom profile drainage channels and the inner<br />
gaskets ensure secure glazing rebates at all times and drain off<br />
any condensation.<br />
These <strong>options</strong> are practically identical to the <strong>FW</strong> 50 + basic series<br />
<strong>options</strong> which offer not only vertical but also faceted façade<br />
designs and simple skylights.<br />
Fixing the glazing<br />
There are generally two different ways of fixing glass panes<br />
mechanically when glazing façades.<br />
S Glazing systems with point--fixed glazing<br />
Anchoring is achieved using a load--bearing structure and<br />
applying the required pressure to the inner drainage level<br />
through a cone--shaped drill hole in the glass and<br />
precision--fit stainless steel clips, or in the case of double<br />
glazing, with specially designed glazing spacers, using<br />
integrated pressure pieces (see illustration left). Both<br />
systems allow the glazing to be mechanically fixed and<br />
protected against falling.<br />
S Glazing systems with continuous glass units fixed using<br />
pressure plates.<br />
A combination of the above--mentioned fixing <strong>options</strong> is also<br />
a possible design feature of the façade.<br />
<strong>FW</strong> 50 + <strong>SG</strong><br />
with vertical pressure plates<br />
(semi--structural glazing)<br />
<strong>FW</strong> 50 + <strong>SG</strong><br />
with horizontal pressure plates<br />
(semi--structural glazing)
Sealing the system externally<br />
External sealing for the <strong>FW</strong> 50 + <strong>SG</strong> façade system may take<br />
the form of dry glazing using a U--shaped silicone gasket<br />
(shadow joint) or wet glazing using silicone (flush with glass pane).<br />
For faceted construction façades or façades combined with vertical<br />
or horizontal pressure plates and cover caps, wet glazing must be<br />
used for external sealing.<br />
S Flush--fitted glazing,<br />
with point--fixing without<br />
frame or fixing units,<br />
external sealing using<br />
U--shaped silicone seal<br />
(dry glazing)<br />
S Glazing held in by (double-sided)<br />
vertical pressure plate and cap as<br />
well as horizontal sealing using<br />
silicone (wet glazing)<br />
(semi--structural glazing)<br />
S Flush--fitted glazing,<br />
with point--fixing without frame<br />
or fixing units, external sealing<br />
using silicone (wet glazing)<br />
S Glazing held in by (double-sided)<br />
horizontal pressure plate and cap as<br />
well as vertical sealing using silicone<br />
(wet glazing) (semi--structural glazing)<br />
