Elegance is a comprehensiveFaçade system that combinestechnology and design withthe demands of contemporarybuilding design and construction.

The high performance system facilitates seamless integration of opening units, solar shaders, photovoltaic’s, etc.

Weather performance, thermal insulation, building

connection, ease of fabrication and installation

were the key factors that influenced the design of

Elegance 52.

Elegance 52 SG is a structurally glazed curtain wall

system used to create flush glass facades by

avoiding the use of external cover caps.

The glass is bonded to aluminium subframes.Those

are then fixed on the basic substructure of Elegance

52 and offer a solution for combinations of fixed

or opening panels in both straight or facetted

applications.

The structurally glazed curtain wall offers a minimal

sightline without having a visual distinction between

fixed and opening panels. The system is available in

both insulated and super insulated versions.

E52SX(continiousstructuralclamped)

E52SXIT(continiousstructuralclampedwithconcealedwindow)

Elegance 52 SX is a structurally clamped aluminium

curtain wall system where the glass is retained directly

towards the standard structure of Elegance 52 ST with

the use of concealed pressure plates. The retained

intercalary profile between the double glazed panes

provides the area to insert the pressure plates which

are directly screwed in the central groove of the

mullions and transoms.

This solution provides an economic alternative to

traditionalstructuralglazedcurtainwalls.

Elegance52SXisanalternativetotraditionalstructural

glazed systems as it also creates a flush surface

appearance.

Elegance SX IT is an opening window developed for

use within curtain wall facades whereby the opening

light frame is not visible externally. Elegance SX IT allows

the external glass surface to be positioned precisely in

line with that of the adjacent fixed curtain wall areas,

when combined with the absence of an external frame

this means that the opening windows are virtually

indistiguishable within the overall facade grid.

Elegance 52 GF is a curtain wall system based on

the structure of the Elegance 52 SG using a glazing

bead instead of structurally bonding the glass to the

panel. Our design team developed this solution to

offer a version where the glass is held in position

with aluminium as in a picture frame. This approach

offers each panel to be independent but still be

integrated in the full curtain wall.

SFB5050(roofvent)

The main profile principle of Elegance 52 systems

gives a great opportunity to build a variety forms of

sloped glass construction. The special effective,

multilevel, internal drainage system, with two-stage

pressure equalising seal gives a perfect tightness

against water penetration. The outer seal is water-

repellent, the ventilation and draining channels ensure

pressure equalising function and the inner seal is air

and vapour tight. The inner seal takes up the pressure

difference between the outside and the inside. External

glazing beads are very low profiled and equipped with

water culvert to allow efficient flow of water and snow

over external surfaces.

Asregardsthestaticloads,glazedroofscanhavelarge

spans due to an assortment of mullion profiles with

very high stiffness and advanced anchoring solutions.

The complicated 3D forms can be constructed using

bespokebracketingwithadjustableangles.Thesloped

roofs can be naturally combined with vertical curtain

wallsandglazedfacadeswiththeuseof incorporated

Elegance 52 FR has been designed to meet the

prevent fire and smoke spread around the building,

from one floor-level to another and between adjacent

buildings. It is clear that the adaptations to create

fire resistance within a curtain wall will increase both

the value and safety of the project.
