Limitations

• Finish floor to finish floor spans not to exceed 3m and mullion spans are not to exceed 1.2m (guide only - dependent upon engineering outcomes). Stack joint positioning relative to slab level will dramatically affect structural capabilities of the system. Optimum position of stack joint is between 15% and 20% of overall span height, up from bracketed fixing point (generally at slab level).
• To comply with the appropriate design wind load requirements and glazing standards
