Glazing System Choices

The short list for the glazing systems that are appropriate for use in the project . You can factor in the appearance of the glazing framing in the choice of your overall palette.

Vistawall
http://www.vistawall.com/
Curtainwall: Vistawall CW-250 1" Glazing Captured 2-1/2" x 5 3/4" frame 1" glass
Storefront: Vistawall FG-3000-T 2" x 4 1/2" Frame 1" glass

Kawneer http://www.kawneer.com/products/Product_Information/products_information.htm Curtainwall: Kawneer 1600 Wall System 2" x 6" frame 1" glass Storefront: Kawneer Trifab VG451T 2" x 4 1/2" frame 1" glass
The Kawneer color palette can be found at:
http://www.alcoa.com/bcs/kawneer_namer/catalog/pdf/Finishes/Fluropon_Chart--F.pdf

Both of these were selected as they have the most options in finish choices. Which ever manufacturer the team selects, the same source should be used for both curtainwall and storefront applications.

Let me know if you like either of these, assuming our building is going to be black and white.

More Brick Research

Also on http://www.claybricks.com/display.html there are displays that allow you to choose if you want a smooth face, cobble, sand blast, or rock face.

Brick Research




I thought these were some good ideas of brick patterns we could use if we decide to use bricks for the outside of our building. I found these images along with many others at: http://www.claybricks.com/gallery.html

They have many types of bricks for different uses. For example they have certain bricks for garden and lanscaping and paving, as well as brick facing and brick veneer.
