Clearly Exceptional 403.230.5011 [email protected] www.desa.ca 45HP Series Curtain Wall System SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE The DESA 45HP Series Curtain Wall is an exterior glazed, stick built, multi floor, pressure equalized rain screen system. This superior performance system utilizes a polyamide, structural strutted thermal break knurled between the curtain wall nose and back section. The polyamide strut is located in the same plane as the insulated glass unit to reduce thermal bridging. Air/vapour barriers can easily be incorporated between window and wall systems to improve building envelope performance. The DESA 45HP Series provides a greater thermal performance improving the comfort level of interior spaces. This system allows for improved u-values of up to 21%, a distinct increase in interior surface warmth and a greater resistance to condensation. COMFORT Polyamide is an industry proven low conductive material that produces a superior performance rating in comparison to the conventionally thermally improved curtain wall systems. Polyamide also has similar thermal expansion properties to aluminum reducing internal frame stress. In addition to the use of a polyamide strut, PVC perimeter anti-rotation spacers maintain higher thermal performance than traditional aluminum spacers. INDUSTRY PROVEN Over 90% of our aluminum profiles and gaskets are produced in Alberta, Canada. We do our utmost to source and utilize local products and suppliers throughout our entire manufacturing process - from raw materials to the fabrication of our finished product. MADE IN CANADA
