AMS MU800 Mullion Drained Curtain Walling
The AMS MU800 mullion drained curtain walling system offers unique architectural design
features combined with market leading weather performance. The system is propriety
based and is suitable for both low & high rise applications. The system is visually complete
with a 55mm face width.
IntroductionThe suite of profiles consist of 35mm X 55mm, 63mm X 55mm, 99mm X 55mm, 126mm X
55mm, 146mm X 55mm, with a thermal isolator, EPDM gaskets, foil backed weather tape
and pressure plate allowing a thermally broken façade. There are a variety of external
finishing options available in aluminium face caps.
Thermal PerformanceAMS MU800 curtain walling is designed to offer the specifier excellent aluminium thermal u-
frame values in conjunction with the correct glass specification to achieve overall target u-
vales or equivalent energy ratings on specified projects.
ScopeThis specification defines materials, fabrication, paint finishes, and size limitations for curtain
walling.
MaterialsAluminium profiles are extruded from aluminium alloy 6063 T5 and T6 complying with
BS1474 – BS EN 12020-2:2001 / BS EN 755-9:2001.
Paint Finishes
Polyester Powder CoatingsAluminium profiles can be dual colour polyester powder coated to BS6496.
AMS offers in house painting with the following paint suppliers :
• Azko Nobel Interpon D
• Du Pont Alesta
• Beckers Powder
Decoral Aluminium profiles can be polyester powder coated with a woodgrain effect paint finish to
BS6496.
AnodisedAluminium profiles can be anodised to BS1615 or BS3987.

FabricationThe AMS MU800 curtain walling system is designed as a stick system and frame members
such as mullions and transoms shall be fabricated in accordance with AMS technical
literature and transported to site as prepared components. The stick grid system shall be
assembled on the proposed facade area as per fabrication shop drawings and architects
instructions.
Mullions shall be square cut and profiles shall be joined specially with jointing spigots.
Mullions shall run the full height of the façade with transoms spanning in between and these
shall be notched and screw fixed to the mullion. Transoms shall have notched ends to
ensure a weather proof joint.
Fixing points should be advised by a structural engineer and relevant fixing brackets
approved so that all loads are transferred back to the main building structure. Low modulus
silicone shall be used throughout for weathering joints as recommended by the silicone
manufacturer.
GlazingGlass shall be set against extruded gaskets internally which are fitted into gasket grooves in
the mullions and transoms. Gaskets shall be to BS 4255: EPDM. The system can
accommodate 22mm, 24mm, 28 mm and 32mm double glazed insulating units. Glazing
shall be to BS 6262 and Building Regulations Document N.
InstallationAMS offer detailed installation instructions on all systems and these should be followed as
per AMS’s technical department’s recommendations.
StructureSection performance requirements must be calculated from site conditions and all loading
requirements. All structural profiles shall be designed so as the maximum deflection of any
member shall not exceed L/175 of its span and there shall be no evidence of any permanent
