A curtain wall system is an outer covering of a building in which the outer walls are non-structural, but merely keep the
weather out and the occupants in.

For a sustainable and lasting function the consistent system
design assures a strict separation between the structural and
design levels made of timber and the functional components
made of aluminium profiles gaskets.

Stick system curtain walling
GLAZING UNITS
Into the framework are fitted infill units, comprising a mixture of fixed
and opening glazing panels.
Glazing units are usually sealed with gaskets and retained with a
pressure plate, screw-fixed every 150-300 mm. The pressure plate is
generally hidden with a snap-on cosmetic cover cap or overlapping
gaskets. A variety of exterior caps are available, which also assist to
channel water away from the glazed openings.
The base profile wood is fixed to the wood with a direct screw
connection. The screw fixings must be secured to the correct torque
to retain the glazing/infill panels and to ensure proper compression of
the gaskets for weather sealing.
The interior wood components are 56mmin thick with a variable
depth depending on the structural needs of each opening. A
structural core is used for stability and consistency in the interior wood
components, with ¼” veneer in a variety of wood species.TRANSOM
The curtain wall frame (mullions) and glass panels are installed and
connected together piece by piece on site as a kit of parts: vertical
mullions, which are fixed to the floor slab, are erected first followed by
horizontal transoms, which are fixed in-between mullions.
Horizontal and vertical framing members (‘sticks’) are normally extruded
aluminium protected by anodising or powder coating (structural timber
frame are used in this project). Mullions are usually spaced between 1.0
and 1.8m centres.

Building Type: Monumental
Described as “Scotland’s first custom-built ancestral history hub”, the Burns
Monument Centre houses an archive centre, register office, library and
wedding venue or conferences facilities.
One of the features of the centre is its over 800 sqm. of straight and tapered
copper Kalzip roof sheets, which will oxidise over time through subtle tones of
mellow bronze to a lovely rich reen patina, complementing the centre’s
natural stonework. Kalzip roof liner and structural decking sheets and the
membrane gutters, some of which were extensively facetted to suit the
centre’s tightly curved wall areas.

Kalzip liners
The profile of the liner sheet will be determined
by its dimensional compatibility with the roof
sheet and its thickness will be determined by the
internal wind pressure, the purlin centres, dead
weight of the construction components, its
walkability requirement and its non-fragility
rating.
Clips and thermal barrier pads
Kalzip profiled sheets are secured to the
substructure of a roof construction by the use of
extruded Kalzip aluminium (L) clips (with
associated polyamide thermal barrier pads) or
Kalzip E clips. The clip heads are designed to
freely accommodate movement of the external
sheet during thermal cycling, enabling the use of
long sheet lengths.
Kalzip E clips
A fixing mechanism with no significant thermal
bridging whilst still retaining structural capability
similar to the extruded aluminium (L) clip. The E
clips also reduce the frictional forces generated
during thermal cycling of the external sheet and
are recommended for use on roof areas with
sheet lengths exceeding 40 m.
2.4 Roof System
Liner Roof System
Kalzip insulation with ECOSE™
- use by reducing the requirement to heat or cool
buildings, limiting CO2 emissions. They are also HCFC
and HFC free and have a global warming potential
(GWP) rating of less than five.
ECOSE™ Technology
- a revolutionary, new, bio-based, formaldehyde-free binder technology,
based on rapidly renewable materials instead of petro-based chemicals.
- by converting bio-based materials into an inert polymer through a
proprietary process, - to create an exceptionally strong binder that bonds
particles or, for example, mineral wool insulation strands together.
- eliminates the formaldehyde and phenols found in traditional binders used in
various industrial processes.
- it reduces embodied energy and delivers superior environmental
sustainability.

used because of the ease of construction and connection to the metal sheet finishes.
erected using prefabricated roof trusses. These are built off-site in a controlled
environment and delivered ready to be positioned on the roof.
Vapour control layer
- a clear three layer membrane for mid range
applications or a foil encapsulated five layer membrane
suitable for high humidity applications where a greater
vapour resistance performance is required.
Vapour Control Layer reduces the movement of water
vapour from inside the building through the roof
construction (thereby minimize the risk of condensation)
and also assists in limiting air permeation through the
system.
It must be fully sealed at all laps, perimeters and
penetrations in order to ensure its effectiveness.
Step 1 : Place roof truss: sloping top chord
Step 2 : Roof Framing
Step 3 : Install roof insulators which prevent heat flux through the roof and set
below waterproofing membrane.
Step 4 : Install Steel roof on top of roof insulators. Metal sheets are attached
around joints and angled roof.

2.5 Basement System
2.5.1 Bottom-up basement construction- Precedent Study
The owner were looking to expand the living space without having to move
from the area. Due to planning constraints they were not able to extend their
house out and so decided to create an entirely new living space in the form of
a basement.
Newton 508 Cavity Drain membrane was applied to the walls and Newton Base
drain was laid on top of the new structural slab, followed by a 65mm sand and
cement screed on top of the membrane. Newton System 500 was installed with
service entry points into the drainage channel to enable maintenance of the
system and no minimal surface preparation and in a timely manner without the
need for extensive drying out times as with other internal tanking systems.
- Conventional construction

- Waterproofing can be applied
to the outside surface of the
structure
- The inside of the excavation is
easily accessible for the
construction equipment and the
delivery, storage and placement
of materials
- Drainage systems can be
installed outside the structure to
water or divert it away from the
structure
- Potential water leakage at joints between
- slabs and walls
- Access to excavation limited through
- shafts
- Limited spaces for excavation and
construction
- of bottom slab
- Limited spaces for excavation
- Larger footprint required for construction
- The ground surface cannot be restored to
its final condition until construction is
complete
- Requires temporary support or relocation

A Combination System- of Oldroyd Drainage Membrane and the Vandex System
A New basements should be insulated externally.
- Step 1: Oldroyd ‘Gtx’20 membrane is rolled out around the perimeter of the basement in
an anticlockwise direction. It is used as a secondary drainage layer to protect a primary
waterproofing system such-Vandex Flexbit 2K P.
- Step 2: It is secured at the top of the basement using Oldroyd Gun Plugs.
- Step 3: A perforated land drain surrounded by a single-sized aggregate is laid at the base
of the construction (200mm below internal floor level).
- Step 4: The land drain is laid around the perimeter of the construction and lead to an
appropriate discharge point.
- Oldroyd Xv applied to floors and walls with the Vandex system used to waterproof a flat
ceiling
- This “dual-layer” approach reduces the stress put on the primary waterproofing system,
reducing water ingress caused by possible imperfections in the application of the primary
system and or structural movement.
- Vandex Construction tape is covered on both sides with an alkali-resistant and flexible
polyester fabric mat, which forms a web on the edges.
Micropiles for underpinning
- made of concrete
- diameters of 60-200 mm
- Installation of micropiles can be achieved using
drilling
impact driving, jacking, vibrating or screwing
machinery
- often grouted as shaft bearing piles
- non-grouted micropiles are also common as end
bearing piles
2.5 Basement System
- Step 1a :Installation of temporary excavation support
walls, such as soldier pile and lagging, sheet piling, slurry
walls, tangent or secant pile walls.
- Step 1b: Dewatering within the trench if required Step 1c:
Excavation and installation of temporary wall support
elements such as struts or tie backs
- Step 2: Construction of the tunnel structure by
constructing the floor.
- Step 3: Compete construction of the walls and then the
roof, apply waterproofing as required;
- Step 4: Backfilling to final grade and restoring the ground
surface.

Construction) with waterproofing
- Micropiles for underpinning.
- diameters of 60-200 mm
- Installation of micropiles can be
achieved using drilling, impact
driving, jacking, vibrating or
screwing machinery
Advantage:
- Conventional construction
method
- Waterproofing can be applied
to the outside surface of the
structure
- The inside of the excavation is
easily accessible for the
construction equipment and the
delivery, storage and placement
of materials
- Drainage systems can be
installed outside the structure to
water or divert it away from the
structure
Disadvantage:
- Potential water leakage at joints
between
- slabs and walls
- Access to excavation limited
through
- shafts
and construction
- of bottom slab
- Larger footprint required for
construction
- The ground surface cannot be
restored to its final condition until
construction is complete
- Requires temporary support or
relocation of utilities
- May require dewatering that
could have adverse effects on
surrounding infrastructure
- The choice of primary
waterproofing system will
depend on construction form
