ELEMENT+ H-I – timber element facade

Product

The concept of the environmentally friendly, modular element façade made of solid timber is based on the proven RAICO THERM+ H-I façade system. Due to the very high level of prefabrication, large projects and time-critical construction sites can be assembled efficiently and just in time. ELEMENT+ H-I also meets strict urban planning requirements regarding ecology and energy efficiency.

Highlights

  • Suitable for large projects due to very high level of prefabrication

  • Optimised for just-in-time assembly
  • Based on the proven RAICO THERM+ H-I façade system
  • Sight-line width frame: 50 mm
  • Possible glazing thickness: 40–64 mm
  • Aluminium savings compared to commercially available aluminium element façade: approx. 60%

The RAICO timber connector TC

The connectors between mullion and transoms on a timber curtain wall must fulfill additional specific requirements. The dead load of the infill units is positioned in front of the timber structure, and the connectors must compen­sate for this torsional effect in addition to wind pressure and suction forces.

Passive house

The standard THERM+ system can easily be upgraded to passive house certified standard with minimal additional components. Passive house projects can therefore be fitted with energy saving glazing in a generous, cost effective way, independent of their supporting projects.
