WICTEC 50 curtain wall: sustainable facade technology from recycled aluminum
Aluminum can be recycled endlessly without loss of quality. The WICTEC 50 series is the first aluminum façade system that consists of a minimum of 75% post-consumed aluminum. Unique within the industry and immediately a real sustainable solution for future generations.
WICTEC 50 meets the high requirements of contemporary architecture within an ecological balance and combines with a wide aesthetic freedom both the properties of shading, ventilation, security (fire, burglary, etc.) as well as acoustics.
Consequently, this innovative solution, like other WICONA systems, received the cradle-to-cradle silver certificate.
WITEC 50
Indeed, according to the DIN EN 13830 standard, the test results of the WITEC 50 system guarantee an AE classification with respect to air permeability. According to the same standard, the WITEC 50 solution is classified as RE 1200 with respect to seals, and can withstand wind gusts of 2000/-3000 Pa.
Another technical feature of the WITEC 50 solution for facades is its strong acoustic insulation, which is a fundamental component for buildings with high demands to ensure the well-being and satisfaction of customers. This WICONA model for facades offers an acoustic insulation of Rw (C ; Ctr) = 47 (-1; -4) dB.
