Aluminium CW 50 HI Stick Curtain Wall (High Insulation) - PassivHaus Certified

Manufacturer guidance

Stick system, drained and ventilated.

• Profiles shall be extruded from EN AW-6060 (AlMgSi0.5 F22) aluminium alloy to comply with EN 573 – parts 3 and 4.
• The assembly of suspension profiles and transoms is done by positioning the transoms partly forward of the suspension profiles. This method allows drainage of the transoms into the suspension profiles without interrupting the vertical drainage chamber. The sealing channels are provided with an EPDM end gasket that seals both suspension profile and transom without using any silicones. The applied transoms are fixed by means of stainless steel screws.
• Dry glazed and weather-stripping with EPDM extruded synthetic rubber gaskets to DIN 7863 and ISO 3934, set in undercut grooves in the mullion and transom.
• CE Marking fully compliant with the EU Construction Products Directive (CPD) to the relevant product standard BS EN 14351-1 for windows and doors and BS EN 13830 for curtain walls.
• Manufactured and supplied under the requirements of ISO 14001, the internationally accepted standard that outlines an effective environmental management system.
• Manufactured and supplied under a quality system certified to BS EN ISO 9001: 2000.
• The manufacturer guarantees that the system meets the technical specifications and standards of the country and the product in question. The current processing and maintenance regulations mentioned in the manufacturer's catalogues determine the extent of this ten-year guarantee (five-year guarantee for wearing parts).

Manufacturer guidance

Aluminium is one of the most recycled materials on Earth and can be recycled endlessly into itself. It is 100% recyclable and retains its properties indefinitely.

Manufacturer guidance

Due to the global limited availability of recycled aluminium, the objective to increase recycled content to 75% doesn't have any environmental benefit. Increasing recycled content for 1 project or product only means other projects/products contain less.

However, Reynaers Aluminium works closely together with its suppliers to ensure a correct % of recycled content. As there is a variation between the recycled content provided by these suppliers, we communicate the annual averages.

For specific projects, Reynaers Aluminium can select a supplier with high recycled content, possibly with price impact and extended delivery times.

To improve the environmental impact of aluminium, Reynaers Aluminium focusses on following important aspects:

•   Use recycled content: work together with suppliers to ensure the use of recycled content. 

•   Purchase low carbon primary aluminium: decrease the CO2 impact of the primary aluminium, which is necessary to produce extrusion billets, by using low carbon primary aluminium, produced by green electricity (primarily hydro power).

•   Work closely together with European Aluminium to improve the global impact of aluminium production and improve sorting and recycling.

This approach has the most impact as it combines short term with long term improvements of the aluminium industry, to make a clear environmental shift.
