GlasCurtain’s Thermaframe 8 (T8) curtain wall system leverages fibreglass-framing and vacuum insulated glass (VIG) to achieve exceptional thermal performance that’s ideal of cold climate institutional projects. With overall system performance of R8 (0.70W/m2K), heat loss through the building envelope is 2-3x less with T8 than with conventional aluminum-framed glazing systems, dramatically reducing operational carbon impacts and improving building longevity for both passive envelope systems and active mechanical systems. Additionally, fibreglass as a material has 2.5x less embodied carbon than aluminum, providing a true win-win for institutional clients specifying T8.
