Rain Screen Design:
The principal being that any water that
is able to penetrate the exterior
envelope will be channeled back to the
exterior through concealed drainage
channels. Care has been taken to ensure
all connections of glass to framing and framing to framing are sealed. The
drainage system is pressure equalized so
no back pressure can occur that could
prevent water from draining freely.
 Positive Weather Seal:
Glass is securely clamped in place
between inner and outer gaskets by a
screwed on pressure cap. This evenly
compresses the gaskets and eliminates
the possibility of water penetration and
air leakage.
Water Seal:
Rubber gaskets seal all outside surfaces
of glass to prevent water penetration.
This forms the first water barrier that
is very effective in itself. However, if
any leakage does occur over time, the
internal drainage channels and internal
gaskets ensure that water will be
carried back to the outside and leakage
to the interior is virtually impossible.
Air Seal:
Rubber gaskets seal all inside surfaces
of glass. This gasket system prevents
air infiltration from the outside even
when high wind pressure is working to
force air to the inside. The gaskets
also prevent the warm interior air from
being exhausted to the outside.
