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.

Another key benefit for our products are the components utilizing multi point locking. This is achieved through a link gear running around the window sash, which operates pins which in turn lock into keepers located around the perimeter of the sash opening. Depending on the size of sash used, there can be up to twelve locking points on any one sash. In doors a six-point lock is used. This comprises of four compression roller pins, one latch and one dead bolt. All the locks on any one sash are operated by one lever and secured by one key. Further this creates insulating advantage as an even sash seal is achieved as well as enhanced security.
