A building facade system includes framework having shelf members secured to the floor slabs. Vertical mullions are fastened to the shelf members and thereby hang therefrom. The mullions extend below the floor slab and include a riser portion extending above the floor slab. Horizontal support members fastened to the mullions support infill panels and are coupled to horizontal cap members which are fastened to the top terminal ends of the mullion riser portions. Intermediate support members fastened to the mullions support slab edge cover panels which can be opaque. Posts are fastened to the shelf members and are secured to the floor slabs within embedded channels. The posts are horizontally and vertically adjustably fastenable to the shelf members. The shelf members are thereby horizontally and vertically adjustable relative to the floor slabs. The weight of the panels, mullions and shelf members is transferred through the posts to the floor slab.

A wall connection system is disclosed, which includes a horizontal building frame component with a first vertical face that has a first slot. The system further includes a prefabricated wall structure with a plurality of parallel studs and an elongate member connect to each stud. The elongate member has a second vertical face with a second slot and is parallel to the first vertical face. The long axis of the first slot is perpendicular to the long axis of the second slot. A fastener assembly connects the horizontal building frame component to the wall structure, through the slots.

A smoke barrier system includes a bracket, a glass panel and a fastener. The glass panel defines a hole. The fastener is equipped to fasten the bracket to the hole of the glass panel. The bracket is fixed to a supporting construction on which the smoke barrier system is installed. The smoke barrier system also includes a first washer, wherein the washer is arranged between the fastener and the glass panel. The washer is an intumescent washer that expands under thermal influence of a fire, hot smoke and/or hot gas. Under thermal influence, the washer can form a thermally insulating layer. Furthermore, under thermal influence the intumescent washer can build up additional pressure between the fastener and the glass panel.

A facade system for a building structure, the system comprising: at least one spandrel wall panel securable in a vertical orientation to an outer edge of a corresponding horizontal floor slab of the building structure, the at least one spandrel panel including an outer shell and an internal frame disposed within the outer shell; and a plurality of vision wall panels, each vision wall panel being translucent to allow visible light to pass therethrough, the vision wall panels being distinct from the at least one spandrel wall panel and being mountable vertically and side-by-side on an upper spandrel panel end of the at least one spandrel wall panel, the internal frame of the at least one spandrel panel being sufficiently rigid to allow the vision wall panels to be supported solely by the spandrel wall panel.

Sealing element (1) for sealing joint gaps between elements of a facade of element mode of construction, wherein the sealing element (1) comprises a connecting flange (2) for securing the sealing element (1) to the facade element, and one or more sealing lips (3).

A glass fastening system includes a fastener having a first portion embedded along an interlayer within a laminated glass portion and a second portion extending outward from an exterior surface of the laminated glass portion for use in attachment to a support structure. Another glass fastening system includes a fastener having a first portion adhered to an exterior surface of a glass pane and a second portion extending from the first portion away from the exterior surface for use in attachment to a support structure. A glass sealing system includes a pair of glass panes having offset edge portions and a seal including an overmold portion capturing the edge portions. Another glass sealing system includes a seal having an internal portion embedded within a laminated glass portion and an external portion extending along an exterior surface of the laminated glass portion.

A curtain wall constructed from prefabricated connecting wall elements mounted in rows next to and above each other with the wall elements including a frame of assembled profiles on the inside of the curtain wall and of one or more infill elements on the outside of the curtain wall. The frame contains mullions and transoms in the form of profiles which along the perimeter of the frame have female coupling parts and male coupling parts which allow the adjacent mullions and adjacent transoms in an assembled condition in the curtain wall to engage with their coupling parts to form composite basic profiles, where between two rows of connecting wall elements a horizontal seal has been applied which extends continuously in a horizontal direction over the width of the underlying row.

A wall connection system is disclosed, which includes a horizontal building frame component with a first vertical face that has a first slot. The system further includes a prefabricated wall structure with a plurality of parallel studs and an elongate member connect to each stud. The elongate member has a second vertical face with a second slot and is parallel to the first vertical face. The long axis of the first slot is perpendicular to the long axis of the second slot. A fastener assembly connects the horizontal building frame component to the wall structure, through the slots.

The present disclosure describes cassette frame assemblies and methods of installing them onto curtainwall structures. Assemblies can include a mullion and a first cassette frame coupled to a front end of the mullion via an anchoring tab. The anchoring tab can be configured to move within the first cassette frame prior to installation. An assembly can also include a second cassette frame coupled to the front end of the mullion via a second anchoring tab. A first glass panel can be fixed to the first cassette frame and a second glass panel can be fixed to the second cassette frame. Anchoring tabs can be slidable and pivotable to facilitate safe and efficient installation onto a curtainwall structure.

A building facade system for covering a building facade including a building wall and a window opening, comprising at least one window assembly mountable to mullions provided across the window opening and a plurality of wall assemblies surrounding the at least one window assembly, each wall assembly being independently mountable onto rails extending across the building wall. The at least one window assembly is configured to reduce thermal flow between an interior environment and an exterior environment, and includes a bypass insulating profile extending from a connection insulating profile externally towards a window panel and inwardly over an exterior profile, to define an air chamber between the bypass insulating profile and an inward surface of the exterior profile.
