An end seal member, which includes a contacting surface including a drainage cavity along the contacting surface. The end seal member also includes a seal material body including a central body protrusion projecting in a horizontal direction substantially orthogonal to the seal material body from an opposite face of the contacting surface. The end seal member also includes a first and second extending elements extending upward from the seal material body and a reinforcing metal plate within the seal material body. The contacting surface is substantially flat.

The present invention relates to a connective installation structure for modularized windows and doors, the connective installation structure successively arranging and connectively installing, in the horizontal direction, modularized sliding windows, doors, or door windows that form the window and doors of a building, with fixed windows arranged in the spaces between the windows and doors. The present invention provides the connective installation structure for modularized windows and doors so as to provide a simplified double frame support structure in which the connective structure lateral section view of the frame, formed by the elevation view of the elements that form the connective installation structure of windows and doors, comprises just (window glass or door panel)-window sash frame-window frame-(fixed window glass), the connective installation structure for windows and doors successively arranging and connectively installing, in the horizontal direction, the sliding-type windows, doors, or door widows, with fixed windows arranged in the spaces therebetween.

Glass buildings are characterized by contradictory requirements—high visibility and high insolation levels. Transparency will allow sun radiation into the building, while isolation will prevent heat to be ventilated through same windows. This creates a greenhouse effect during summer, leading to excessive air conditioning load. As a result, leading architects and engineers are calling for all-glass skyscrapers to be banned. The disclosed art offers an alternative glass envelope which adapts its U-Value to climate changes, by a special aluminum frame which dissipates the heat when necessary. The proposed system is sealed and the adaptation of the envelope U-Value is achieved by circulating enclosed air into the aluminum frame, significantly increasing its heat dissipation characteristics. The disclosed art overcomes most drawbacks of prior art, offering a solution with superior U-value isolating during wintertime and cooling during summertime. SHGC will be controlled by a triple glazed configuration with two parallel cavities.

An approved dynamic construction is used for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a sating slat between a floor of a building and an exterior wall construction. The exterior wall construction includes a curtain wall configuration defined by an interior wall glass surface, including one or more aluminum framing members. In particular, a process is useful for assembling a fireproof system within a stick build exterior dynamic curtain wall facade, which includes glass, especially vision glass extending to the finished floor level below.

A window system is disclosed. The window system provides improved visibility while protecting against wind and flying debris. In some embodiments, the window panel is made using insulated safety glass for added insulation from the elements and impact protection for wind borne debris. Fins (e.g., glass fins) are affixed to a vertical edge of each window panel to provide extra resistance to wind and flying debris while providing improved visibility over window systems that have metal frames. In some embodiments, the glass fins are made from laminated glass to achieve thicknesses of between two and three inches. In some embodiments, especially when the window panel is very tall, one or more horizontal fins are affixed to the inside surface of the glass for added strength.
