Elegance is a comprehensiveFaçade system that combinestechnology and design withthe demands of contemporarybuilding design and construction.
The high performance system facilitates seamless integration of opening units, solar shaders, photovoltaic’s, etc.
Weather performance, thermal insulation, building
connection, ease of fabrication and installation
were the key factors that influenced the design of
Elegance 52.

Elegance 52 SG is a structurally glazed curtain wall
system used to create flush glass facades by
avoiding the use of external cover caps.
The glass is bonded to aluminium subframes.Those
are then fixed on the basic substructure of Elegance
52 and offer a solution for combinations of fixed
or opening panels in both straight or facetted
applications.
The structurally glazed curtain wall offers a minimal
sightline without having a visual distinction between
fixed and opening panels. The system is available in
both insulated and super insulated versions.

E52SX(continiousstructuralclamped)
E52SXIT(continiousstructuralclampedwithconcealedwindow)
Elegance 52 SX is a structurally clamped aluminium
curtain wall system where the glass is retained directly
towards the standard structure of Elegance 52 ST with
the use of concealed pressure plates. The retained
intercalary profile between the double glazed panes
provides the area to insert the pressure plates which
are directly screwed in the central groove of the
mullions and transoms.
This solution provides an economic alternative to
traditionalstructuralglazedcurtainwalls.
Elegance52SXisanalternativetotraditionalstructural
glazed systems as it also creates a flush surface
appearance.
Elegance SX IT is an opening window developed for
use within curtain wall facades whereby the opening
light frame is not visible externally. Elegance SX IT allows
the external glass surface to be positioned precisely in
line with that of the adjacent fixed curtain wall areas,
when combined with the absence of an external frame
this means that the opening windows are virtually
indistiguishable within the overall facade grid.

Elegance 52 GF is a curtain wall system based on
the structure of the Elegance 52 SG using a glazing
bead instead of structurally bonding the glass to the
panel. Our design team developed this solution to
offer a version where the glass is held in position
with aluminium as in a picture frame. This approach
offers each panel to be independent but still be
integrated in the full curtain wall.

SFB5050(roofvent)
The main profile principle of Elegance 52 systems
gives a great opportunity to build a variety forms of
sloped glass construction. The special effective,
multilevel, internal drainage system, with two-stage
pressure equalising seal gives a perfect tightness
against water penetration. The outer seal is water-
repellent, the ventilation and draining channels ensure
pressure equalising function and the inner seal is air
and vapour tight. The inner seal takes up the pressure
difference between the outside and the inside. External
glazing beads are very low profiled and equipped with
water culvert to allow efficient flow of water and snow
over external surfaces.
Asregardsthestaticloads,glazedroofscanhavelarge
spans due to an assortment of mullion profiles with
very high stiffness and advanced anchoring solutions.
The complicated 3D forms can be constructed using
bespokebracketingwithadjustableangles.Thesloped
roofs can be naturally combined with vertical curtain
wallsandglazedfacadeswiththeuseof incorporated
gutterprofiles.
Optional openable rooflights provide effective natural
smokeandheatventilation(certifiedmotorizedconcept

E52FR(fireratedEI30)
Elegance 52 FR has been designed to meet the
demand for the protection of people and their
possessions in and around buildings. There is an
increasing need to create compartments which
prevent fire and smoke spread around the building,
from one floor-level to another and between adjacent
buildings. It is clear that the adaptations to create
fire resistance within a curtain wall will increase both
the value and safety of the project.
In order to retain a uniform aesthetic treatment,
Elegance52FRisbasedonthesuccessfulElegance
