Course Description:
As construction methods and delivery requirements have changed to evolve and meet new demands, manufacturers now offer a wide array of framing options. Architectural aluminum framing systems can be broken down into several subcategories, including storefront framing, curtain wall, window wall, windows, entrances and more. While each shares some common characteristics, they are also quite different and designed for specific applications. This presentation focuses on these systems—storefront, curtain wall and window wall—and the unique features and characteristics of each, along with their advantages and disadvantages and examples of applications each is designed for. You will better understand the uniqueness of each system and how to select the correct one based on a specific project’s needs.
