Reynaers Facade Systems
Realizing the need and broad perspectives for application of transparent structures in contemporary architecture, we offer a brief overview of facade systems from Belgian company – Reynaers Aluminium. The company owns the largest private institute for aluminum facade systems research and testing in Europe. Materials tests for compliance with international quality standards are regularly performed there. Every year the Institute conducts hundreds of tests to develop new and improve existing materials.
Facade line of Reynaers products is abbreviated CW after “curtain wall”. To these letters is added figure, which indicates the visible width of profile in millimeters. The choice of the width of the facade profile depends on the thermal and physical-mechanical characteristics, which the facade should conform to. There are two groups of facade systems. There are the traditional system, which is still the most popular on the market, and is represented by CW 50 and CW 60 materials. The second group – represents a module façade system, including materials CW 65 and CW 86. The advantage of the module facade compared a regular is a fast and easy installation on site without scaffolds.
