YKK AP America, Inc. (YKK AP) expands its line of high-performing window wall systems with the introduction of two new products. The YWW 50 TU and YWW 60 TU thermally broken window wall systems offer clean design, fast installation and maximum design versatility, offering a competitive alternative to curtain wall for mid-to-high-rise building applications like hotels and multifamily residential buildings.
The YWW 50 TU and YWW 60 TU window wall systems were designed to round out YKK AP’s already successful line of window wall systems, with higher thermal performance and the ability to handle heavier design loads for oversized panels of glass. The YWW 50 TU window wall system was created out of the need for a flexible window wall product to adapt to innovative architectural designs, like that of a continuously changing radius, while the YWW 60 TU window wall system was designed specifically to handle heavier design loads, spanning floor to floor and providing high acoustical and thermal performance. Each system offers a unique slab-edge cover provides a clean look for modern designs, and structural silicone glazing is an option for a slimmer sightline.
