Composite Panel Curtainwall

Installation & Design Considerations

• Establish thermal breaks to reduce condensation on cold surfaces.
• The need for and placement of vapor retarders should be determined by the building designer.
• Minimize penetrations of insulation by structural elements, wall attachment devices, etc. In constructions using a vapor retarder, careful consideration should be given to maintaining vapor retarder integrity.
• Buildings using curtainwall construction should be equipped with a sprinkler system to provide adequate fire protection.
• When specifying kraft-faced or standard foil-faced insulation check local code requirements for limitations and install facing in substantial contact with finish surface.
• Provide code required fire separation between floors.
• Architect must supply detailed drawings to meet project and building code requirements.
