Innergy® AP
Increasingly stringent energy code mandates are requiring curtain walls to be built to optimal levels of thermal performance while still offering essential structural support.
Specifiers must find products that strike this balance.
Enter Innergy AP, a range of products designed to significantly enhance the thermal performance and structural strength of curtain walls and windows. Designed and manufactured by Deceuninck North America, the product line includes pressure plates, structural thermal struts, reinforcements, and curtain wall components.
Innergy AP’s advanced composite material technology redefines both strength and sustainability by being 900 times more energy efficient than aluminum.
Construct a high-performance, modern-day curtain wall with Innergy AP.

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.

Fire-rated system
Reflection Window and Wall earned a public Listing# STI/BPF 180-02 for its notched curtain wall system, the UWall U8000. The U8000 assembly underwent an exhaustive fire-testing process, without glass or other infills, conducted by Intertek Laboratories and overseen by Specified Technologies Inc. This peer-reviewed public listing proves RWW’s cladding system can be used in glass applications.
