Stick-frame curtain wall system.
The AA®100 is suitable for vertical and sloped applications (down to 7°), including faceted walls.
A stick-frame assembly with weather performance achieved by drainage and ventilation of the glazing rebates. Drainage and ventilation is achieved via the mullion or via each individual transom on zone drained.

Type | Fully capped and pressure-plated system. Guidance for specification option: The standard most commonly specified curtain wall in the Kawneer range, this variant is a fully pressure-plated, dry-glazed system that can be both zone and mullion. The comprehensive range of mullions and transoms allow facades to be designed with minimal structural support. The variety of different face caps allows the specifier to create a feature using the cap; bespoke options are available upon request.
Fully structurally silicone-glazed. Guidance for specification option: The AA®100 SSG is a system which allows glazing of the curtain walling to be achieved without the use of visible face caps, giving an aesthetically pleasing appearance with flush glazing to the exterior. It also offers the benefit of reduced on-site installation time, making the AA®100 SSG a more cost-effective solution. The glazing units are constructed with the use of structural silicone sealant, and contain an integrated channel profile around the perimeter. Toggle clips positioned on the mullions and transoms locate into the channel profile and provide the mechanical retention to secure the pane to the curtain wall. This offers a specifier the assurance and peace of mind of a guaranteed installation. The glazing unit is deadload supported by the transom, using a combination of setting blocks and glass supports, with the final aesthetics of the facade being enhanced by use of a flush seal between the glass units, by means of a UV-resistant weatherproofing silicone sealant.
Horizontally capped/ vertically silicone-glazed/ rubberized pressure plate. Guidance for specification option: The Horizontal/ Vertical Cap provides the specifier with the opportunity to highlight the horizontal or vertical features across the building envelope, and gives the building its individual signature. The capped section, whether it is horizontal or vertical, stays the same as with any standard capped AA100 system. The adjacent transom or mullion can be either a structural silicone joint or a low profile EPDM gasket system, creating the appearance of a glass-to-glass join. Vertically capped/ horizontally silicone-glazed/ rubberized pressure plate. Guidance for specification option: The Horizontal/ Vertical Cap provides the specifier with the opportunity to highlight the horizontal or vertical features across the building envelope, and gives the building its individual signature. The capped section, whether it is horizontal or vertical, stays the same as with any standard capped AA100 system. The adjacent transom or mullion can be either a structural silicone joint or a low profile EPDM gasket system, creating the appearance of a glass-to-glass join. |
Drainage | Mullion. Guidance for specification option: The AA100 curtain wall is to be mullion drained with drainage and ventilation slots located in the vertical pressure plate. Transoms are to be overlapped to the mullion which incorporates an EPDM gasket to seal between mullion and transom. Transoms are to be fitted with a ‘Batman gasket’ to maintain the drainage integrity. Zone. Guidance for specification option: The AA100 curtain wall is to be zone drained with drainage and ventilation slots located in the vertical pressure plate. Transoms are to be square cut at the ends and are to incorporate EPDM mouldings to maintain each zone or transoms are to be overlapped to the mullion and are to incorporate EPDM mouldings and gaskets to maintain each zone. Transoms are to be fitted with a ‘Batman gasket’ to maintain the drainage integrity. |
Surface finish | Guidance for specification option: Insert requirements (finish and colour). Manufacturer guidanceOver 130 standard and 31 metallic Kawneer Permacover™ polyester paint finishes are available. A range of standard and coloured anodized finishes are also available.
