About:

Problems:


Misunderstandings:


Solutions:


Consider:

Glass See L40

  • Exclusion of UV light, use PVB Interlayers in laminated glass
  • Best U Values the project can afford, especially on the North face of the building
  • U Values of 1.0 W/m2.K and better are achievable
  • Use Double Glazed Sealed Units to EN1279-2 and BSI Kitemarked
  • Use Low E (Low Emissivity) glass generally
  • Use Argon, Pentane or CO2 in cavities

Framing:

  • Timber framed curtain walling
  • Timber: Hardwood, Heartwood of softwood, Slow grown timber, reclaimed timber
  • FSC approved timber sources and timber based materials See Z10
  • Recycled content aluminium: See Z11.2
  • Uncoated aluminium (but marginally reduces component life)
  • Recycling of coated aluminium: See Z3

Avoid:

Glass and Glazing

  • Single glazing in all cases
  • Double glazing if the project can afford triple glazing
  • Double Glazed Sealed Units only offering U Value 2.0 W/m2.K
  • Temperature on internal face of glass lower than 17 degrees C
  • Condensation on inner face of glass
  • Excessive glazing on north face (heat loss in winter)
  • Excessive glazing on south and south west face (heat gains in summer, unless it is managed and exploited)

Framing:

  • Powder coated and painted aluminium See Z31 and Z30
  • CCA (Copper Chrome Arsenic) Treated softwood, See Z12
  • PVC framing See Z50
