1900 Series Ribbon Window
Tubelite’s versatile Ribbon Windows are designed for low- to mid-rise applications with horizontal window configurations or repetitive design. Units are compatible with our 400 Series Curtainwall, and available in a variety of face dimensions and frame depths.
Members are assembled using screw spline or clip joinery with concealed fasteners. The continuous interior sill runner makes installation simple. With no anchors through the glazing pocket, the possibility of water leakage is reduced, while glass positioning aids in water drainage. Glazing is accomplished from the inside to help to reduce project labor costs.
Glazing is positioned to the building exterior with a minimum of metal exposure to shed water and other environmental conditions effectively. Any water penetrating the exterior fixed gaskets is weeped to the exterior through the sill member. It is available in both thermally broken and non-thermal designs to achieve energy efficiency requirements.
