Elegance 52 is a comprehensive curtain wall system that com­bines technology and design with the demands of contemporary building design and construction. All Elegance 52 systems use a common substructure with a width of 52 mm, allowing a slim sightline, whilst maintaining the necessary strength and inertia requirements for most applications.

Weather performance, thermal insulation, building

connection, ease of fabrication and installation

were the key factors that influenced the design of

Elegance 52.

Elegance 52 ST is an externally capped thermally

broken curtain wall system that offers many design

options by the use of different designer mullions

and cover caps. Elegance 52 ST offers solutions for

vertical, slope and roof applications and can solve

facetted curtain wall requests.

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

accessoriesinsidethesystemtomakeitfireresistant.

Therefore, Elegance 52 ST and the fire resistant

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.
