TRACO has enriched its Window Wall offering to include additional 4-5/8” products and an accessories package featuring receptor, subsill and mullions that provide enhanced performance, ease of installation and additional cost savings. The TRACO Window Wall system was designed to provide an alternative to conventional Curtain Wall projects to meet the market requirements of aesthetics, ventilation, flexibility, cost and speed. The TRACO Window Wall system designed primarily for high-rise applications includes the enhanced TR-8300 Sliding Glass Door, TR-8900 Terrace Door, TR-6300 Sliding Glass Window and TR-700 Casement/Projected/Fixed Series.

  The TRACO window wall system provides the aesthetic appearance desired for a curtain wall application while offering numerous benefits and significant cost savings,” explains Josh Early, Architectural Product Manager for TRACO. 

  TRACO Window Wall differs from curtain wall in that curtain wall will install in front of the slab whereas window wall will span the slab heights but install between the slabs. This difference has significant influences to the overall cost, schedule, quality and risk to individual project stakeholders. Quality is greatly enhanced, when compared to site built curtain wall in that all frames are fabricated, assembled and glazed in a controlled environment of generally an automated manufacturing facility.

  TRACO Window Wall, like curtain wall, offers high performance, with respect to design requirements including air infiltration, water resistance and the ability for the system to meet required design pressures building displacements both vertical and lateral. Unlike curtain wall, TRACO Window Wall will enhance sound attenuation by the elimination of continuous members that span the building height, which may resonate sound that originates a lower levels and emitting that sound thru the interior tube of typical curtain walls. By significantly reducing floor to floor and room to room sound transmission adds to the multi-family application advantages.
