A system and method is provided for attaching glass panels to a substructure. Embodiments include a blocking extending along a length of a structural element and attached to a first portion of a surface of the structural element. Flashing covers the blocking, and has a flange extending outward from a lower edge of the blocking to contact a second portion of the surface of the structural element. An elastic flange gasket covers an outer edge of the flange and contacts an inner main surface of a glass panel. A glazing cap extends along the blocking, having an elastic cap gasket for contacting the outer main surface of the glass panel. The glazing cap extends over and attaches to the blocking for retaining the glass panel between the flange gasket and the cap gasket, and for sealing the glass panel, the flange gasket, and the cap gasket.

A fenestration wall assembly includes a fenestration frame extending along a perimeter of the fenestration wall assembly. The fenestration frame includes a socket core having a first module socket configured to interchangeably receive service modules therein, and a second module socket configured to interchangeably receive service modules therein. The interchangeably received service modules include at least first and second service modules. Each of the first and second modules includes respective first and second module profiles. A panel having a panel profile is surrounded by the fenestration frame. The panel profile is isolated from the first and second module profiles.

A window system for a building includes a panel and a first element assembly that supports the panel and includes a cross member and a pressure plate laterally offset from the cross member. A glazing pocket is defined between the cross member and the pressure plate, and a thermal separator is positioned within the glazing pocket and extends between the pressure plate and the cross member. The thermal separator includes a tongue extension and a rod gasket seals an interface between the tongue extension and the cross member.

A glazing shield system for retrofitting glazing systems of buildings is disclosed. The glazing shield system includes a support frame and a unitized panel. In certain embodiments, the glazing shield system may be mounted on an existing glazing system in a non-intrusive and non-destructive method. In one embodiment, the support frame may be attached to an infill panel of an existing glazing system using structural adhesives, and the unitized panel may be mounted on the support frame, creating an insulating glazing shield.

Described is a construction and parts of the construction for effectively thermally and acoustically insulating and sealing of a safing slot (1) between a floor (6) of a building and an exterior wall construction wherein the exterior wall construction comprises a curtain wall configuration (2) utilizing an interior panel module design. In particular, the thermal insulating and sealing system comprises a first element (7) comprising a top framing component (8) having an interior wall surface (13) and an opening, positioned substantially in the height of the floor (6), wherein the top framing component (8) is located on top of the interior wall surface (3) of the spandrel panel (7), and a second element (9) comprised of a thermally resistant and/or air tight material for insulating, positioned at least partially in the top framing component (8) of the first element (7), wherein the second element (9) includes an inner end surface (10) positionable in abutment with respect to the outer edge (11) of the floor (6) for sealing thereadjacent, outer end surface (12) positionable in abutment with respect the interior wall surface (13) of the top framing component (8), a lower facing surface (14) extending between the inner end surface (10) and the outer end surface (12) and facing downwardly therebetween, and an upper facing surface (15) extending between the inner end surface (10) and the outer end surface (12) and facing upwardly therebetween.

A glazing shield system for retrofitting glazing systems of buildings is disclosed. The glazing shield system includes a support frame and a unitized panel. In certain embodiments, the glazing shield system may be mounted on an existing glazing system in a non-intrusive and non-destructive method. In one embodiment, the support frame may be attached to an infill panel of an existing glazing system using structural adhesives, and the unitized panel may be mounted on the support frame, creating an insulating glazing shield.

The curtain wall includes mullion profiles, transom profiles and one or more panels, where the mullion profiles extend vertically, where the transom profiles each are attached to two mullion profiles and extend horizontally, where the mullion profiles are provided with a groove on each side for receiving the side edge of a panel. The grooves have an access opening, where the access opening has a first fixed dimension or width in a horizontal direction, where the transom profiles have a second dimension in a horizontal direction and at right angles to the profile direction of the transom profiles, where the second dimension is larger than the first dimension, where the transom profiles have a third dimension in a non-horizontal direction at right angles to the profile direction, where the third dimension is smaller than the first dimension.

A structure for blocking heat transfer through a thermal bridge of a building, includes an inner visual glass curtain wall, an outer visual glass curtain wall, an indoor metal frame, an outdoor metal frame, an outer decorative metal cover, a first thermal break strip, a second thermal break strip, a first nylon thermal break block and a second nylon thermal break block. The first thermal break strip, which is located among the outdoor metal frame, the indoor metal frame, the first nylon thermal break block and the second nylon thermal break block, is an aerogel thermal insulation blanket. The second thermal break strip, which is located among the indoor metal frame, the second nylon thermal break block, the outer decorative metal cover and the inner visual glass curtain wall, is another aerogel thermal insulation blanket.

A sealing plug configured for sealing a passage of a curtain wall mullion. The passage has a maximum width and a length. The sealing plug includes a main body extending from a first surface to a second surface. The main body has a width at least as large as the passage maximum width and a length at least as large as the passage length. The main body is manufactured from a compressible foam. An intumescent layer is defined along at least one of the first and second surfaces.
