When specifying a curtain wall system for a commercial project in British Columbia, thermal performance isn't optional, it's essential. Acro Aluminum's 3000 Thermal Series was engineered specifically to meet the demands of high-performance building envelopes in our climate.
Quick Specs: U-Factor as low as 1.59 W/m²·K · 1" or 1¾" glazing infill · Captured, 2-side SSG, or 4-side SSG configurations
Here are five reasons architects and contractors continue to specify the 3000 Thermal Series:
1. Superior Thermal Performance
The 3000 Series uses a polyamide thermal strut to break the thermal path between interior and exterior aluminum, significantly reducing heat transfer. With Solarban 60 Low-E glazing, the system achieves an overall U-Factor as low as 1.59 W/m²·K, a meaningful improvement in energy efficiency for building owners.
2. Flexible Glazing Options
Whether a project calls for standard dual glazing or triple glazing for extreme performance requirements, the 3000 Series accommodates both 1" and 1 3/4" infill options, giving design teams flexibility without compromising the building envelope.
3. Multiple Configuration Options
The system supports captured, 2-sided structural silicone glazing (SSG), and 4-sided SSG configurations, making it adaptable to a wide range of architectural aesthetics, from traditional mullion-and-cap designs to sleek, glass-forward facades.
4. Proven System Integration
The 3000 Series is designed to integrate seamlessly with Acro's door and vent window systems, simplifying specification and ensuring consistent performance across the entire building envelope.
5. Backed by Real Test Data
Air, water, and structural test reports, along with full thermal modelling results are available for download, giving engineers and architects the documentation they need to confidently specify the system.
