ATLANTA (January 14, 2025) – Kawneer is proud to announce a new product in its curtain wall framing product portfolio with the introduction of the 1600UT SS Curtain Wall System. Designed to meet the building and construction industry’s thermal curtain wall needs, the 1600UT SS will enter the scene with an overall system U-factor of 0.29 while using standard 1” glass/COG 0.24. For markets with additional thermal needs, this system can achieve an overall system U-factor of 0.24 with 1’ glass/COG 0.20.
“This curtain wall system is bringing meaningful and innovative developments in installation, aesthetics and thermal performance to the curtain wall market,” said Chris Giovannielli, Director of Global Product Management at Kawneer. “Kawneer has been working diligently on design and innovation behind the 1600UT SS Curtain Wall System. This new addition to our product portfolio is set to redefine industry standards and meet the diverse needs of the curtain wall market.”
Powerfully combining the high thermal performance of the 1600UT System™ 1 Curtain Wall with the screw spline system of the 1600 SS Curtain Wall System, the 1600UT SS will deliver ultra-thermal performance with faster installation along with the advantages of a semi-unitized frame construction and the added benefit of meeting the latest seismic standards.
Product highlights include:
Offering a 2-1/2″ (63.5mm) sightline, the 1600UT SS has also been tested to meet seismic requirements and offers inside/outside glazed framing options. This system can also be combined with our GLASSvent® UT (Ultra Thermal) Windows and Insulpour® Thermal Entrances, making Kawneer a single-source solution for your ultra-thermal needs.
