It is a challenge to fit suitable ventilation or solar shading system to every type of project. Curtain wall systems are one of those new building trends, where standard solutions won’t do. The challenge is to look for a solution using its urge for innovation and creativity. A driven ‘Project team’ focuses on projects like these, together with a large research & development division. They collaborates with architects, contractors and engineers to create a proper solution for any given project, however big the challenge is.Every special project starts with an idea, that is accurately been worked out to a solid design. That design is the first step to come to a mock-up of the specific solution created, to evaluate with everyone involved (architects, contractors, engineers, universities, etc). As soon as these mock-ups are approved, production of the customized parts can be started. Every special project ends up with the start-up and service at the project site itself.As these sun protection screens cover the whole surface of this curtain wall, Renson chose to install a common profile instead of two vertical half side channels to lead each of the screens. This made the installation a lot easier as this common channel could be mounted with only one central screw in the small joint between every two glass surfaces. With an extra profile between this channel and the façade, Renson helped out its client installer to make this a proper and easy to install project in the end.With a standard Fix-screen solution, an expansion joint of 4 mm should have been seen between the side channels and the cassettes. With this specific type of profiles, there’s no such joint to be seen, which makes this a far more elegant solution, while screens and profiles still have the space they need to expand when it comes to fluctuations in temperature.
