IMPORTANT NOTE
Curtain Walling
Please note both CWCT and NHBC consider all storey height glazing to be a
curtain wall and therefore should be designed as such. Curtain walling
cannot be treated in the same way as window and door installations.
The following are requirements in undertaking a Curtain Walling project:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It would be expected that one or more members of installation teams
have been certified by the Systems supplier to demonstrate competence
and understanding of the system being installed.

Specification
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MC600 is a stick build curtain wall system suitable for low to high rise installations in commercial buildings.
Designed for quick and easy workshop preparation and on-site installation, MC600 is a cost effective system
which offers a high quality finish.
PROFILE SPECIFICATION
The sections are constructed of aluminium alloy extrusion to BS EN 755-9 and BS EN 12020, extruded from
6060 T6 alloy.
GENERAL MANUFACTURING
After careful inspection of the extrusions, all visible areas shall be taped using our recommended protective
tape to help protect against any scratches.
Sections are cut with accurate 90° ends using Tungsten Carbide Tipped Saw Blades, operating at
approximately 3000 rpm. The isolators, MC601 can be inserted into the mullions/transoms prior to cutting.
The mullions are marked and drilled using the recommended drill jig ACMC695.
Transoms are drilled using recommended drill jig ACMC691 in preparation for the fixing bracket ACMC600
which is secured into position using ACET060 stainless steel self tapping screws.
On polyester powder coated finishes, great care should be taken to avoid getting gap sealer on visible
surfaces and should be removed as soon as possible with a clean cloth.
Care should be exercised when using products not supplied by Smart Systems Ltd as no responsibility can
be accepted.
Specification
DRAINAGE
As with all dry glazed systems, the system must be adequately drained and ventilated. Refer to drainage
details in manual, if in doubt ask the Technical Department.
After careful inspection of the extrusions, all visible areas shall be taped using our recommended protective
tape to help protect against any scratches.
Sections are cut with accurate 90° ends using Tungsten Carbide Tipped Saw Blades, operating at
approximately 3000 rpm. The isolator MC601 can be inserted into the mullions/transoms prior to cutting.
The mullions are marked to show the centre line of the transoms and are drilled with a 4mm dia. drill bit for
the ACMC600 brackets and a 6.5mm dia. drill bit for the ACMC650 anti-rotation spring pin using the
recommended drill jig ACMC695.
Transoms are drilled with a 3mm dia. drill bit using recommended drill jig ACMC691 in preparation for the
fixing bracket ACMC600 which is secured into position using ACET060 stainless steel self tapping screws.
The ACMC650 anti-rotation spring pin is slid into the position and secured by tightening the grub screw.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum weight on ACMC600 / ACMC605 is 500kg.
All gaskets and transom end pads may be fitted in the workshop to save time on site.
After mullions are secured into position, the transoms are inserted between the vertical members until the
ACMC650 anti-rotation spring pin engages into the predrilled hole. Transom end pads should be sealed
using ACSIL05. Care should be taken to ensure the transom end pads are not dislodged at this point. The
transom is secured into position via the ACMC600 brackets using PUA028 stainless steel self tapping
screws.
Moulded corners shall be fitted between the gaskets and sealed using ACMX09830 EPDM adhesive.
ACMC630 glazing supports shall be positioned in preparation for the double glazed units.
GLAZING
Double glazed units shall be positioned on plastic packers on ACMC630 glazing supports with equal
distance on all sides.
Units are secured in position using DK154 with ACDK066 or MC655 fixing (not compatible with ACDK066)
held in place by ACMC610 or ACMC612 Hex Head Self Tapping Fixing Screw taking care not to exceed
torque of 4Nm at the recommended speed of 1500-1800rpm. Stitch plates may be used to secure the units
temporarily until all units are in position. Pressure plates shall be fitted at the top first, working downwards to
help avoid uneven fixings.
The cover caps are clipped in position using a rubber mallet taking care to strike the corners only to avoid
denting the section. Vertical cover caps are fitted first followed by the horizontal caps.

The selection of suitable mullions and transoms should be based on the design
wind load of the structure based on criteria including location; exposure;
average wind speeds etc. The following pages will assist with the selection of
suitable mullions and transoms. For specific details regarding wind loading
limitations or further advice, please contact our Technical Department.

Section E
NHBC
Please note both CWCT and NHBC consider all storey height glazing to be a curtain wall and therefore should be designed as such.
Curtain walling cannot be treated in the same way as window and door installations.
· Full elevation drawings must be produced. These drawings should clearly indicate all perimeter interface details typically showing
water / vapour barriers, pressings / trims, fixing brackets / fixings along with any fire stopping that may be required. This is not an
exhaustive list as other details may be required to suit specific projects.
· All bracketry and fixings should be backed up by calculations from a structural engineer to confirm suitability and meet site
requirements. Also, profiles need to be identified to suit site conditions. These factors include screen sizes, fixing positions, glass
weight, barrier loadings & wind loadings.
· It may be a requirement to include for on-site water testing and pull out testing. NHBC would require certification to the CWCT
weather test where glazing may span a floor as opposed to a BS6375-1 window / door weather test.
Please also consider acoustic, thermal and structural performance when specifying curtain wall configuration and components.
It would be expected that one or more members of installation teams have been certified by the Systems supplier to demonstrate
competence and understanding of the system being installed.
