CW 50
Unlimited creative freedom and maximum entrance of light

Concept Wall® 50 is a façade and roof system that offers unlimited design freedom and allows maximum
transparency. As such, CW 50 meets all requirements of contemporary architecture. Innovative solutions
contribute towards the tendency of big, heavy and thick glass panes. CW 50 supports up to 700 kg in
various glass support configurations. Even more glass weight can be offered in bespoke solutions.
The system is available in several design and glazing variants, like steel beam look, standard pressure
plates, structurally glazed and structurally clamped solutions. Specified levels of fire-resistance, burglar
proof classes and thermal insulation, down to Uf = 0.56W/ m²K, are provided by different technical
variants.
In addition to that, dedicated opening types can also be seamlessly integrated; a parallel opening window,
a top hung window, a hidden vent turn and tilt window, but also an attic window for integration in roof
applications of CW 50.
The CW 50 stands for an extensive range of profiles, gaskets, accessories and tools. It is specially
developed for easy fabrication and installation.
 3. Hidden vent turn and tilt window - HV-TUTI:
A special type of Inward Opening Window, also known as the hidden vent, is a
structural sealed glazing solution which can be applied in a standard curtain wall
façade or in a structurally clamped façade. It’s main advantage is that the exterior
doesn’t differ from a fixed glazing panel in the façade. Therefore it doesn’t affect
the façade geometry. From the inside, this system uses a half mullion, resulting in a
minimal visible width. Water tightness is assured by the use of a central gasket.

4. Attic Window - AW:

The Attic Window is fully reviewed to meet today’s standards to provide a perfect
3. water tight and high insulating solution for open elements in glass roofs. Different
glazing options are available for glazing: either a cost efficient glazing bead version
for standard glass, or a more aesthetic version with stepped glass.
Both glass variants can be combined to create a zero water threshold
on the bottom side to allow inclinations down to 5°. The superior High
Insulation variant assures an increased insulation by using additional
gaskets and smart insulation strips including low-e foil. The possibility
to integrate 62 mm glass in this HI version further enhances thermal
efficiency. A motor-operated version is especially convenient within
building management systems or in roof windows in hard-to-reach
places. The Attic window can be applied together with CW 50-RA, CW
4. 60-RA and the CR 120 conservatory system.

5. Integration of Reynaers window and door systems

Several aesthetical connection profiles allow a concealed integration of other
­Reynaers window and door systems.

 The extensive range of CW 50 profiles meets all requirements of contemporary architecture.
With regard to the thermal performance, the system offers solutions in different levels,
allowing the use of triple glazing and making the system even applicable for passive house
or low energy buildings.
In addition to that, dedicated opening types can also be seamlessly integrated:

Description opening types*:

1. Top Hung Window – THW:

The Top Hung Window allows integrating opening elements with large opening spans, which can
be operated manually or automatically. The design choice between the solution with glazing
bead or structural silicone glazing (SSG) characterises the total appearance of the façade.
1. This THW can be integrated in the overall strategy of the building’s Smoke & Heat Exhaust
Ventilation Systems (SHEVS).

2. Parallel Opening Window – POW:

The opening concept, Parallel Opening Window, allows an ultimate airflow for small or
tall windows. This results in a better natural ventilation, improving the indoor air quality,
thermal comfort and healthy indoor climate for building users. Aesthetically, this parallel
way of opening gives a uniform impression: the reflection of the building remains the
same for opened or closed vents. An additional advantage of this opening type is that it
realises ventilation without creating unwanted access to the building (e.g. night ventilation).
Furthermore, the POW can be used for big opening elements, operated both manually or
automatically, and is suited to be integrated in Smoke & Heat Exhaust Ventilation Systems.
2. The glazing of the window can be done with glazing beads or with structural sealed glazing
(SSG).

CW 50-HI is certified by the German notified body ift Rosenheim for passive house applications. This certification requires an overall insulation
value of max. 0.7 W/m²K using glass with Ug 0.7 W/m²K and a panel with Up of 0.25 W/m²K. With the CW 50-HI profiles, the curtain wall system

This table shows classes and values of performances, which can be achieved for specific configurations and opening types.
(1) The Uf-value measures the heat flow. The lower the Uf-value, the better the thermal insulation of the curtain wall.
(2) The sound reduction index (Rw) measures the capacity of the sound reduction performance of the curtain wall.
(3) The air tightness test measures the volume of air that would pass through a curtain wall at a certain air pressure.
(4) The water tightness testing involves applying a uniform water spray at increasing air pressure until water penetrates the curtain wall.
(5) The wind load resistance is a measure of the profile’s structural strength and is tested by applying increasing levels of air pressure to simulate the wind force.
(6) The fire resistance is defined by exposing the curtain wall to direct fire in order to determine the stability, thermal insulation and radiation insulation over a certain amount of time.
(7) The burglar resistance is tested by static and dynamic loads, as well as by stimulated attempts to break in using specific tools. This variant requires specific burglar resistance
accessories and processing techniques.
