Abstract (en)
A curtain wall structure has infill panels (4) supported on a main frame structure through a series of support plates (28). At the periphery of each cell, sealing gaskets (12,14) engage the inner and outer faces of the infill panel. Sealing pressure is applied by auxiliary frame members (6) on which the external sealing gaskets (14) are mounted. The horizontal auxiliary members (6) at the transoms and sills are each provided with a channel (52) to collect any water that may have penetrated the outer seals (14,44). Drillings (54,58) in the auxiliary members and the outer seals allow the collected water to drain away from the wall. The penetration of water to the interior of the building clad by the wall is thus prevented, even though the external sealing means may have become less efficient with the passage of time.
