UNIVERS ® VEC BL - Data sheet

APPLICATION
Curtain wall system with fixed frames and Italian projecting windows of equal visible surface.

STRUCTURE
Extruded aluminium profiles (6060 BAT T5 alloy).
Structure composed of mullions and transoms.
Anchoring rails and adjustable brackets for fixing to building structure. Various profiles to meet exposure and inertia requirements

GLAZING FRAMES
Extruded aluminium profiles (6060 BAT T5 alloy).
Frame assembling by crimping corner cleats. 8- mm single glazing or 24-mm double glazing. Dropand-lock, screw avoiding fixing of frame into structure. Frames are conceived to facilitate
bonding and ventilation of double glazing spacer, edges remaining free. Concealed Italian projecting window. Clearance between panels: 14 mm.

WEATHERPROOFING
Triple EPDM gaskets, applied sealant for joints with shell..

FINISH
Anodizing: 20-class satin for silver, 15-class for other colours (20-class on order). In accordance with international QUALANOD and EWAA-EURAS standards and French NFA 91450 standard.
80-micron powder coating with QUALICOAT seal.

DISTINCTIVE FEATURE
Same structure as VEC / VEP curtain wall.

UNIVERS ® VEC BL - Specificities

MANUFACTURING

• Screws: stainless steel

• Weatherproofing for aluminium profile joints: 1st quality putty.

• Gluing rod no. 8832 must compulsorily be fixed to the profile it is used with, before cutting.

• Opening frames are hung on structure mullions. Stainless steel projecting arms for Italian windows, preventing washing from inside (maximum leaf weight 100 kg, maximum height 1750 mm, maximum width 1600 mm).

• All other frames and panels are fixed by means of kits no. 8917 and 8918, and are individually removable. Unwanted removal is prevented by a safety device (CHCM5X12 screw + 2 RONDEL5 washers).

•Gluing rod 8832 is used with two types of glazing:
. 24-mm insulating glass certified for structural glazing, with frame profile 8835;
. 6- or 8-mm tempered sheet glass of various types (enamelled, pot-opal, clear, tinted,...):
with frame profile 8834 as slightly ventilated cladding in front of concrete or masonry wall,
with frame profile 8836 as slightly ventilated external lining in front of 20- to 50-mm infill panel.

JUSTIFICATIONS
For each site, justifications of suitability for the project must be given by the glue manufacturer and by the glass manufacturer, complying with the locally applicable standards.

SAFETY DEVICE
TAll glazed frames, both fixed or opening, must be fitted out with a safety device preventing glass fall in case of defective bonding (corner piece 8934 pop-riveted at each corner).

FIXING
Once the shell is completed, the fixing brackets are put in place. These brackets are fixed into continuous or discontinuous rails, which have been incorporated into concrete while casting. The use of expanding bolts is also possible .

The main operations are:
• Joining of structure or raising of ladders, and bolting to brackets.
• Joining of transoms between ladders.
• Fixing of insulating material on concrete.
• Fixing of panels or opaque glazed fixed frames (fixing of safety device preventing unwanted removal) .
• Fixing of opening frames. This is currently done in the workshop for opening frames incorporated into ladders.
• Finishings.
