YKK AP's YWW 50 TU is a 5-inch deep window wall glazing system designed for use in multi-story applications.  It includes an innovative slab edge cover that yields the beauty and appearance of a curtain wall application.  The glass plane is set to the front to maximize thermal performance.  The system has mullion options that allow glazing from the interior or the exterior.  Two-sided Structural Silicone Glazing is also an option.  Thermal performance is enhanced by YKK AP's patented ThermaBond Plus® thermal break technology that also provides the system with dual finish capability.  The screw spline assembly design makes fabrication and installation more efficient.

The YWW 50 TU window wall also features a unitized/pre-glazed option, as well as a 1 inch infill with a 1/4 inch infill adapter option.  This system is compatible with YKK AP's entrance systems.
