Aluprof systems in Lexington, US

325 Lexington Avenue is one of the many typical high-rise buildings in New York. And it’s yet another Aluprof systems-based project in the US. The unitized curtain wall MB-SE80 SG, designed especially for this project, is an example of a system that meets the individual needs of the project.

It enables a quick, segment-based installation to the reinforced concrete building structure. In terms of glazing technology, it is a fully structural, 4-edge SSG system that comes with customized bottom hung windows and foldable corner joints. MB-SE80 SG system was tested at the National Certified Testing Laboratories in York by the standards applicable in the US. In addition to the parameters such as the tightness of the façade, the assumed resistance to tectonic movements was also confirmed. In such cases, the structure allows vertical movements of segments in relation to each other, this within ±5 mm.
