Flood barrier glazing system

Crawford-Tracey Corporation's Pro-Tech Flood Barrier system includes the Pro-Tech 7SG FB and Pro-Tech 9SG FB, which meets the increasing demand for property protection and evolving building code requirements. It is a unitized structurally glazed curtain wall and storefront system that has a water-resistant rating of 100 PSF and has now been tested and approved by FM Approvals per the ANSI/FM 2510 testing standard as a flood rated passive glazing system for opening barrier applications. The Pro-Tech 7SG FB is a structurally glazed 7-inch profile curtain wall and storefront system, and the Pro-Tech 9SG FB is a similar glazing system with a 9-inch profile to meet taller spans and withstand higher wind and flood loads.

Key features:

  • FM Approved and certified per ANSI/FM 2510, Flood Abatement Standard
  • Hurricane impact-rated system with a static wind pressure water-resistance rating of 100 PSF, the industry's highest rating, and is now currently approved to resist 4 feet and 7 feet of flood water with floating debris impact. 
  • Maintains a clear view and aesthetic, without a bulky surrounding framework, while effectively safeguarding against flood events 24/7.
  • Capable of withstanding winds exceeding 195 mph with approval by Miami-Dade County and the State of Florida for hurricane-impact resistance.
  • Meets the requirements for both large missile impact and small missile impact applications.
  • Competitive price when compared to other flood barrier curtain wall systems.

Panelized curtain wall system

Safti First introduces the patent-pending, panelized SAFTI-EZ-ARC, designed for use in non-rated or fire-rated applications. SAFTI-EZ-ARC is the first U.S.-made, truly panelized, versatile structurally glazed curtain wall system. Two versions were developed to satisfy non-rated and fire-rated applications: SAFTI-EZ-ARC is a unique panelized system that will provide ease of installation in a curtain wall, while the SAFTI-EZ-ARC-FR is an ASTM E-119/UL 263 fire-resistive rated version recently successfully tested and listed by UL up to 2 hours. Additional testing is scheduled to meet hurricane, blast and tornado requirements.

Window wall

YKK AP's YWW 60 XT Window Wall is designed to meet the most stringent thermal requirements. Ideal for mid-to-high rise building applications, it accommodates higher structural loads and up to 12-foot mullion spans. 

It features a U-factor of 0.36 BTU/HR/SF with a COG of 0.29 with standard one-inch glass. Thermal performance is enhanced by 40 mm polyamide isostruts, along with YKK AP’s patented ThermaBond Plus® technology. It offers:

Pre-glazed or field-glazed;
Inside or Outside Glazed;
Captured, 2, 3, or 4-sided SSG configurations;
Dual-finish capability;
Large glazing pocket to accommodate one-inch insulating glass or 1-5/16-inch insulating laminated glass for enhanced acoustical performance;
2 ½-inch sightline for pre-glazed and field-glazed options;
Fully re-glazeable from the interior or exterior, depending on the preferred configuration; and,
Minimally offset slab edge cover to mimic the look of traditional curtain wall, with room to insulate the area behind the slab edge cover to improve thermal performance.
