WICTEC aluminium façade solutions WICTEC solutions are used to create large vertical façades:grid, vertical and horizontal emphasis, structural sealant glazing,beaded glazing, aluminium/wood plant-on systems, unitisedfaçades, high energy-performance façades, high-securityfaçades, and roof glazing, prisms, domes and pyramids.
With its patented design, the WICTEC range offers the optionof flat or facetted construction. The vertical façade is mulliondrained, and the roof cascade-drained, to remove water to
the exterior. A wide choice of cap profiles and transoms canbe used to customise façades.
The WICTEC systems are compatible with WICSOLAIREbrise-soleil.
With three levels of drainage, complex constructions integratingvertical façades and roof glazing are possible.

Mechanical structuralglazing façadesFully glazed façades have a firm place in contemporaryarchitecture and create impressive building elevations.Using WICONA systems, fine external structures withnarrow joints can be created.
Opening elements and glazed spandrel panels canbe incorporated. Based on an innovative mechanicalfixing, WICTEC 50SG opens up a new, simpler optionfor the construction of flush glass façades.
Designed as a traditional stick system, the glazingunit is retained by a 'toggle' within the infill channel.Although its appearance is identical to that of atraditional S.S.G. façade, this technology is faster,simpler and more economical to realise.

Double-skin façades – twice the protection
Duowall is a façade concept that opens up new approaches basedon WICONA systems. Today’s building market is determined as muchby ecological standards as by technical, functional, aesthetic andeconomic criteria. The basic concept of a second, non-insulated layer of glass in front ofan internal heat-insulated façade with opening vents can be achievedusing combinations of WICONA systems. The individual form is tailoredto the specific building in each case. You can rely on the WICONAteam to support you throughout your project, with the benefit of ourextensive experience and know-how.
TEmotion – The intelligent façade concept
TEmotion is an intelligent façade concept that has been developed byWICONA incorporating active and self-sustaining building technology.The façade reacts to changes in outdoor and indoor conditions, suchas light or temperature, significantly improving the energy efficiencyof the building envelope and reducing the operating costs. TEmotion not only incorporates technical components, but alsoincludes the relevant sensors and control systems. The intelligentfaçade controls the integrated ventilation, air-conditioning and heatingtechnology, adjusts the sun protection and prevents the interior fromoverheating.Automatically opened vents allow for night venting, considerablyreducing the costs of active cooling. In contrast to conventionalfaçades, using TEmotion saves 40 to 50 per cent of the primaryenergy otherwise used for heating, cooling, ventilation and illumination.
Solar shading systems
WICSOLAIRE represents a comprehensive solution when it comes toproviding external solar protection. As the system allows fixed oradjustable louvre blade orientation, the solar shading can be adjustedperfectly to the building. This individual adjustability not only improvesthe energy balance of the building, but also increases user comfort.
