They take the place of 1 or 1 4 thick glass units.
The humble curtain wall spandrel often unexciting and without receiving much attention can be a dynamic and complicated element of curtain wall design that requires focus beyond simply stuffing insulation to meet local thermal performance requirements.
Curtain wall insulation rockwool curtain wall insulation provides superior fire resistance in glass metal and masonry curtain wall spandrel systems.
Spandrel panels are useful to hide areas in glazing systems exposing slab edges and ceiling details.
Glazing systems function largely as air and water vapor barriers resisting air or water infiltration and accommodate building and system movement induced by wind thermal and seismic forces.
When used in combination with rockwool firestopping products they provide a comprehensive firestopping system that has been ul ulc tested and approved for perimeter fire containment systems.
They are commonly used to infill areas of glazing curtain walls or storefronts.
