TIMBER CURTAIN WALL – INNOVATIVE STRUCTURALLY GLAZED UNITISED SYSTEM FOR BUILDING ENVELOPES

Abstract

This paper presents the results of research conducted within R&D project. The primary goal was to apply the current state of the art technology in aluminium to a timber-based frames, but also to improve the energy performance of the building envelope and create environmentally friendly product, which physical, structural and aesthetic performances are equal to or even better than equivalent aluminium systems.
