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.
