A curtain wall includes one or more mullions and one or more transoms and panels that are fitted with their edges at least in the mullions and optionally in the transoms. The mullion is assembled from at least an inner profile and an outer profile joined together by means of one or more plastic profiles, wherein at least the inner profile consists substantially of steel.

A wall system for a building (such as an exterior façade for a building) may include a frame structure configured for attachment to the building. The frame structure may include a plurality of horizontal frame elements, a plurality of vertical frame elements, and an energy distribution system including an elongated conductive bar at least partially positionable within at least one of the horizontal frame elements or at least one of the vertical frame elements. The system may include one or more access elements positionable to engage the elongated conductive bar to receive electricity or a data signal from the elongated conductive bar. The frame structure may support infills that connect to the elongated conductive bar and use or produce electricity.

This document discusses, among other things, unitized curtain systems and methods related to the fabrication and installation of curtainwalls. A curtainwall unit may comprises a frame including a horizontal gutter, a horizontal sill, a first vertical mullion between a first end of the horizontal gutter and a second end of the horizontal sill, and a second vertical mullion between a second end of the horizontal gutter and a second end of the horizontal sill. The horizontal gutter may include a rear channel extending across the horizontal gutter, and at least one protected horizontal channel at least partially beneath the rear channel, the rear channel having at least one opening to the at least one horizontal gutter. Each vertical mullion may include a protected vertical chamber having an opening to the at least one protected horizontal channel.

A curtain wall construction system comprises a plurality of interconnected curtain wall supporting beams; one or more elongated and compressible sealing elements attached to at least one of the curtain wall supporting beams, wherein the curtain wall construction system is configured with a dedicated interspace within which a corresponding set of one or more rigid and impermeable panels is introducible. The curtain wall construction system further comprising a linearly displaceable clamping element that is clampable against the introduced set of panels to form a clamping arrangement which provides sealing protection in conjunction with the one or more sealing elements.

A building facade system which comprises a frame to support a building facade panel, a unified vertical shear blade anchor, a vertical mullion and an angled anchor member. The unified vertical shear blade anchor has a body portion and a flange extending horizontally therefrom. The flange has top and bottom surfaces with the bottom surface having serrations. The vertical mullion is secured by a shear connection to the vertical shear blade anchor. The shear connection between the vertical mullion and the vertical shear blade anchor is formed by a fastener which extends through side portions of the body portion and vertical mullion. The angle member has first and second flanges each having proximal ends joined together and opposing terminal ends. The second flange has a top surface with upwardly projecting serrations. The upwardly projecting serrations are configured for engagement with the downwardly projecting serrations of the vertical shear blade anchor.

A first embodiment of an aluminium extrusion framing system (10) comprises a first wedge member (12) and a second wedge member (14) made of resilient material for securing and sealing a panel (16) in the framing system. The framing system (10) also comprises an aluminium extrusion (20) having a channel (22) adapted to receive an edge of the panel (16) therein. A first side wall (24b) is formed with a first elongate retention means (28) extending the full length of the extrusion (20) for receiving the first wedge member (12) in connection therewith. A removable cover plate (30) is adapted to be secured to the extrusion (20) and received in close proximity to a top edge of the first side wall (24b) of the channel (22) whereby, in use, when the panel 16 is installed in the channel 22 with the first wedge member (12) received in connection with the first retention means (28), the first wedge member (12) is substantially concealed when the removable cover plate (30) is secured to the extrusion (20).
