Tempglass has designed and developed a new structural
glass wall system which we call the IG Finwall. This system
was developed as a companion for our IG Stackwall, but it
is for openings less than 16 feet high. This single story
wall system can be used with a wide variety of glass
combinations, including a complete range of reflective and
Low-E coatings to meet the insulating, vision and
aesthetic requirements of each individual project*. This
system was developed to meet the demands for the
aesthetic design characteristics of an exterior flush glazed
system using an interior glass mullion instead of a metal
mullion.
The IG Finwall is an engineered floor-loaded system,
utilizing 1" tempered glass mullions, 3/4" tempered
mullions are also available. The system can be designed
to structurally withstand windloads of up to 150 mph. IG
Finwall has also passed simulated seismic loading tests
at Construction Research Laboratory, Miami, FL.
The minimum glass mullion depth is 4". The mullion depth
required can be determined using chart 1. To use chart 1,
first multiply the windload (PSF) by the mullion spacing
width (in feet, center-to-center), and locate this point on
the baseline, and extend a line vertically. Next enter the
opening height in feet from the |
