A window frame system for fixing at least a first panel, includes at least a first window frame structure which includes at least a first window frame profile having at least first and second holders, and at least a first thermally insulating element with sixth and seventh holders. The second holder and the sixth and/or the seventh holder of the first thermally insulating element include at least one internal corner with a radius smaller than 0.5 mm. In this way, the dimensions of the window frame profile may be smaller than in the known window frame profiles. This may be advantageous for the total insulation value of the window frame system and the quantity of material required/used for the window frame profiles. Also disclosed is a thermally insulating element, a method, a window frame structure, a flexible profile, a control system and a sun protection system.

A unitized curtain wall system includes pre-assembled, pre-glazed aluminum framed curtain wall units. Vertical mullion components and top and bottom horizontal rail components interconnect adjacent curtain wall panels. The curtain wall units are suspended from one or more upper anchors installed on an upper floor slab. The bottom horizontal rail components are engaged with top horizontal rail components of adjacent, lower curtain wall units forming a continuous beam scheme for vertical mullion components and configured to accept lateral loads. The gravity loads of curtain wall units are supported by one or more floor anchors. Organic shaped insulating forms are disposed laterally between top and bottom horizontal rail components of adjacent curtain wall panels. The forms are compressible to permit flexing vertical movement of the curtain wall units while reducing air movement in a horizontal cavity formed between the top and bottom horizontal rail components forming a stack joint.
