Creates eye-CatChing Façade
reynAers’ cutting-edge aluminium curtain wall system for
facades and roofs has created new angles for a modern office
building.
The design variants include curtain walls for both the exterior and
the interior of buildings. Glazing variants range from standard
pressure plates, structurally glazed and structurally clamped
facades.
French company Groupama opted for maximum transparency and
benefit from superb thermal efficiency for its premises in Charters,
southwest of Paris.
Unitised curtain wall options are also available within the range.
They allow entire panels to be manufactured in the workshop
reducing the time on site. Both unitised and traditional stick
systems can also be developed into bespoke solutions for specific
project requirements.
Its building was designed by architects Agence Franc Gérard and
covers 4,400m2, with an envelope in pre-oxidised copper panels.
The impressive staggered façade curtain walling, created from
Reynaers’ CW 50 multi-level product, incorporates vivid coloured
glass inserts.
The CW 50 stick curtain wall system is available in several design
and glazing variants and is on show at Reynaers’ Knowledge Centre
showroom in Birmingham. It includes different technical options to
give maximum flexibility in design and allows frames to be placed
at varying angles both horizontally and vertically, moving away
from the traditional uniform grid pattern.

Rebecca Cope, Marketing Manager at Reynaers, said: “Our
extensive range of CW 50 curtain walls meets all the requirements
of contemporary architecture. With regard to energy performance,
the system offers different solutions, allowing the use of triple
glazing – making the facade applicable for passive house or energy
efficient buildings.
Extensions to the CW 50 system also offer new innovative
solutions for much heavier glass weights, as well as easy assembly
and quick installation, plus improved energy efficiency. The curtain
wall system can achieve a thermal insulation Uf value down to
0.56W/m2K, depending on the profile combination and variant.
“What’s more, dedicated opening types can also be seamlessly
integrated; such as a parallel opening window, a top hung window,
a hidden vent turn and tilt window, plus a flush roof vent for
integration in roof applications of CW 50.”
