Curtain wall and fabric awning: the ultimate match for a '100% Belgian facade'

The avoidance of overheating - especially with large glass surfaces of curtain walls - was the trigger for Reynaers Aluminium to join forces with Renson in the search for the ultimate product combination of curtain walls and fabric awnings. The two Belgian companies joined forces for this purpose with the Reynaers Aluminium ConceptWall 50 and the Fixscreen Minimal Curtain Wall 50. The result is a thoroughly tested Belgian total solution that relieves all parties in the building process: from architect to installer to builder. 

Aesthetic total solution

The combination of both innovations forms an aesthetic total solution for curtain walls that is easy to install, without losing an eye for detail. By perfectly matching the profiles of both the façade and the fabric awning in terms of detailing, they fit together seamlessly. The finishing is simply done with the desired cover profile of the Reynaers ConceptWall 50. This joint development also reduces the total number of profiles required to only 3 pieces instead of 5. The cover profile and basic clamping strip from Reynaers Aluminium and the torque side guide from Renson.

Extensively tested and easy to install

This product combination was subjected to extensive testing procedures (including pressure tests) by the Reynaers Aluminium and Renson research & development department. This involved examining the co-development to its limits and testing, for example, the mutual fixation and deflection of the profiles at extremely high pressures. On the basis of these test results, both the system guarantees and the possible applications were matched, providing assurance of the highest quality and guarantee. In terms of wind resistance, the wind guarantee up to 130 km/h of the Fixscreen Minimal is also maintained in this combination.

Moreover, this total solution is quick and easy to install. With only 3 profiles instead of 5, not only is there less screw work, but now that everything is perfectly matched and tested as a combination solution, the installer no longer needs to look for a suitable solution himself.

Fixscreen Minimal Curtain Wall 50

With its minimalist look, the Fixscreen Minimal Curtain Wall 50 blends seamlessly with the design of curtain walls. This solution takes thermal expansion into account, making it infinitely linkable. The connection side guide of only 50 mm (as wide as the ConceptWall 50 window profiles) guarantees a central attachment to the curtain wall and thus preserves the integrity of the curtain wall itself. 

Reynaers Aluminum ConceptWall 50 

Concept Wall 50 is a facade and roof system that guarantees unlimited design freedom and maximum transparency. As an innovative solution, it meets all the technical and design requirements of contemporary architecture where large, heavy and thick glass panels of up to 700 kg are used in combination with parallel opening windows, casement windows or pivot windows.
