Steel Curtainwall Framing Offers Many Benefits Over Traditional Aluminum Systems
TGP recently introduced to the North American market the SteelBuilt Curtainwall™ Systems. The European-designed steel curtainwall framing is strong and slim, allowing larger spans of glazing than traditional aluminum framing, increasing architects' ability to bring natural light indoors.
Recognizing the superior performance of steel curtainwall systems over traditional aluminum assemblies, readers of USGlass magazine recently selected SteelBuilt Curtainwall™ Systems from TGP as the top product pick for 2007 in the "glazing systems" category. Winners were selected based on products introduced during the past year that were deemed to be "extraordinarily important or helpful."
