A Structural Efect

Semistructural mullion/transom curtain wall

The EFECT system is used for the construction of lightweight curtain walls of a hanging and filling type as well as roofs, skylights, and other spatial constructions.

Efect is a façade that provides a uniform external appearance of a smooth glass wall divided by the structure of vertical and horizontal lines of 2 cm, thanks to the use of a special system for fixing panes to mullions and transoms. The gaps between glass fields of the façade are filled with a special silicon binder to ensure high tightness of the construction and enhance its insulation properties.
