YCW 750 XT IG is an inside glazed curtain wall system that yields best-in-class thermal performance and exceeds not only current codes, but also the most stringent green building codes and standards in the industry today.
Engineered to surpass rigorous sustainable building codes and standards, the YCW 750 XT IG integrates MegaTherm® thermal struts for exceptional thermal efficiency. With one-inch insulating glass units, it achieves superior thermal performance, boasting an impressive overall system U-factor as low as 0.30.
Featuring an integral face cover, this curtain wall system reduces fabrication and field labor, thereby lowering costs. Standard offerings include a dual-finish option and two-sided structural silicone glazing.
The YCW 750 XT IG presents architects with a solution that not only meets green performance criteria but also accommodates challenging applications. Its ability to facilitate interior glass installation makes it suitable for projects where exterior glazing is impractical, expanding the possibilities for high-performance curtain walls in previously restricted scenarios.
