Sightlines & Aesthetics: ST-THERMOThe ST-THERMO timber curtain walls provide a optional variety of glazing technology for application on structural frames made of wood and aluminum capping , and available in all types of wood finishes from 50 mm width. For a sustainable and lasting function the consistent system design assures a strict separation between the structural and design levels made of wood and the functional components made of aluminum and EPDM.

Outstanding thermal insulation, gradually up to passive house quality with Uf = 0,7 W/m2K

Two aluminum base profile options: with or without guiding extension

Available in al type of wood finish and size profile from 50 mm width

Entire load compensation tested and approved by the Building testing Institute

Fast and simple installation of the base profile also possible with the use of an automatic screw gunSmooth screw fastening due to the aluminum screw channel

No components exposed directly to the exterior or into the wood
