Curtain Wall Clips / Wind Load Anchors

Durable Curtain Wall Clips with Steel Reinforcement

Curtain wall systems, which are aluminum window frames used in commercial building construction, require anchors to securely attach the window frames (mullions) to the building’s structural frame. These elements are crucial for maintaining the stability and safety of the curtain wall system. To achieve this, glaziers often use custom-formed curtain wall clips, which are specifically designed to maintain the stability and safety of the curtain wall system.

    Exterior Building Envelope: The Non-Structural Approach

    Modern commercial buildings often employ a non-load-bearing exterior system that shields the interior from environmental elements. The Curtain Wall system, while not supporting the building’s weight, must manage its own mass and resist lateral forces like wind. The components used to attach this system are sometimes referred to as angle clips/wind load anchors reflecting their dual purpose.

    Additional Accessories: Mullion Reinforcing and Curtain Wall Steel Reinforcement

    In addition to angle clips and wind load anchors, we fabricate a range of curtain wall accessories to enhance curtain wall systems:

    Mullion Reinforcing: Mullion plates provide additional support to door or window mullions, especially in high wind load areas. Fabricated to meet detailed specifications.

    Curtain Wall Steel Reinforcements: Essential for projects requiring extra structural support, particularly in tall buildings. Customized to integrate seamlessly with existing systems, providing necessary strength without compromising aesthetic appeal.

    Mullioned windows are a timeless architectural feature found in both traditional and contemporary building styles. They enhance structural stability, improve energy efficiency, and add aesthetic appeal, among other benefits.
