BT5 - Wall Cladding Details

The document provides details on common exterior wall assembly components and glazing methods. It describes basic parts like spandrels, mullions, lites, caps, backups, anchors, and sills. It then summarizes several glazing methods including exterior batten glazing, stop glazing, structural silicone glazing in 2-sided and 4-sided configurations, channel glazing, and structural gasket glazing. Each method is explained in terms of how the infill panel is secured and sealed within the framing system.

BASIC PARTS
Spandrel - the panel of a wall located between
vision areas of windows which conceal
structural columns, floors and shear walls.
Mullion - a horizontal or vertical member that
holds together two adjacent lights of glass or
units of sash or sections of curtain wall.
Lite - a pane of glass or a sealed insulating unit.
Cap – screws used to attach pressure plate or
batten to mullion.
Back-up - a material placed into a joint,
primarily to control the depth of the sealant.
Anchor - any device used to secure a building
part or component to the adjoining construction
or supporting member.
Sill - the bottom horizontal frame member.
Infill - various materials glazed into a framing
system.
Gasket - pre-formed shapes, such as strips,
grommets, etc., of rubber and rubber-like
composition, used to fill and seal
a joint or opening either alone or in conjunction.
EXTERIOR BATTEN
• Most commonly used form of
glazing method relies on exterior
metal batten to hold infill panel
against framing member
• Batten or pressure plate fixed to
framing with cap screws that apply
pressure to gaskets or tapes at
edge of infill to create seal. Used
with either tubular or split mullion
• Glass installed from exterior
• Exterior gasket is mainly a water
intrusion barrier. It is not waterproof
• Interior seal (gasket/tape)
provides air barrier continuity
between frame and sealed
unit/backpan
• Other gaskets between
antirotation spacers provide
separation and movement
capability
STOP

• Interior or exterior removable


glazing stop or bead used to
force edge of infill against fixed
stop. Most common is interior
stop
• Seal is created with tapes or
gaskets compressed by stop.
Common method used in window
wall assemblies, at operable
sash and in some contemporary
systems
• Glass installed from side of
removable stop
STRUCTURAL SILICONE

2-Sided Structural Silicone


(2SSG)
• Two edges of infill are adhered
to framing with structural silicone
sealant and two edges are
mechanically fixed usually with
pressure plates. Can be field
installed
4-Sided Structural Silicone
(4SSG)
• Four edges of infill are adhered
to framing with structural silicone
sealant. Must be shop installed
(for quality control)
• Dead load of infill is supported
on metal fin and setting block
CHANNEL GLAZING

Channel glazing
• Channel or pocket glazing is
modeled off of window sash
assembly
• Infill panel is maneuvered into
oversized channel and fixed in
position with wedge in type
gaskets
• Often used to accommodate
unique geometry at building
corners and/or to “hide” framing
system from exterior at adjacent
construction (e.g. framing
STRUCTURAL GASKET

• Introduced in 1950s by
automotive industry
and used in many buildings up to
late 1960s
• Consists of preformed rubber
seal with recess where locking
strip is inserted
• Locking strip exerts pressure on
rubber creating seal
• Fallen into disuse due to style
change
