Facade detail – final style choice
We have decided to go ahead with a system that while more costly, provides the type of integration we are interested in. The outer skin is comprised of panels of fiberglass attached to a metal frame. Insulation and gypsum are installed on the inner side with the glass set into the fiberglass framed, supported by steel framing. The panels will be assembled off site and fit into the structural assembly onsite – details to follow. A critical concern is the water-proofing around the glazing detail – figuring out the weep hole as well as the capillary gap
