Kawneer Company, Inc., an Alcoa business and the leading manufacturer of architectural aluminum products and systems for the commercial construction industry, and its Traco division are returning
to the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Toronto, Canada with a wide range of innovative, highperformance systems and solutions along with several new products. The company’s exhibit (Booth # 625N) will feature its comprehensive, sustainable fenestration offering, which includes ultra thermal curtain walls, storefront framing systems and entrances along with sun shading and window selections from Traco as well as a new, high performing thermal window. Greenbuild is the world’s largest conference dedicated to green building innovation and this year marks the first time it will be hosted outside the United States.

This year, Kawneer and Traco are joining thousands of exhibitors and attendees to explore what’s NEXT for green building and design. Underscoring its long-standing commitment to sustainability, Kawneer and Traco will feature environmentally responsible products developed to address design and market challenges, many of which go beyond current code requirements and deliver to requirements that are yet to come. The companies’ commitment to energy efficiency and thermal performance has brought about the introduction of several products that provide value in the form of greater design flexibility and opportunity. Highlights of the exhibit include, but are not limited to:

  • A curtain wall display incorporating Kawneer’s 1600UT (Ultra Thermal) System™1 curtain wall with its Versoleil™ SunShade Single Blade System as well as its proven InLighten® Light Shelf. Additional Versoleil™ SunShade enhancements will also be introduced during the Expo.

  • AA®3350 IsoPort® Horizontal Sliding Window from Kawneer – a high-performing thermal window offering building occupants exceptional views with enhanced performance.

  • Kawneer’s AA®250 and AA®425 Thermal Entrance Doors offer a new kind of thermal roadblock that provide fresh solutions for the industry’s increasing thermal requirements.

  • The versatile Trifab® 451UT (Ultra Thermal) Framing system, which enhances the sustainability of commercial or institutional building façade. This façade display will also incorporate Kawneer’s Trifab® Sunshade.

  • The NX-3000 Series Projecting windows from Traco, a premier manufacturer of windows for more than 65 years. NX-3000 Series Projecting windows are enhanced with Traco NEXGEN Technology™ that will help meet the growing demand for energy efficiency, green building and LEED® certification.

  • Traco’s NX-3700 Tilt Turn window, which offers increased thermal performance, unparalled daylighting and views and indirect ventilation using tilt operation.

    Additionally, Kawneer experts will be available to demonstrate its new Solector™ Sun Shading Estimator Tool, a user-friendly tool that offers architects an easy way to optimize shading performance early in the design phase, calculating the potential shading performance of the company’s Versoleil™ SunShades has never been easier.
