MB-SR100 and MB-SR80
Thermal insulation Uf
≤2,8 | W/(m2K)
The ground floor façade of the Jetty of Warsaw Airport is constructed in the form of the mullion-transom curtain wall in the MB-SR100 system, glazed with insulating sight sets of the thickness equal to 39 mm.
The construction, geometry and appearance:
- The visible external mullion width: 100 mm for intermediate mullions, 50 mm for outermost mullion.
- The visible external transom width: 100 mm for intermediate transoms, 50 mm for outermost transoms.
Most of the profiles were designed according to the requirements of building technology, physics and building statistics. The mullions are arranged in constant modules, every 1200 mm.
The mullion-transom façade is mounted to the external brick wall and the steel elements. The characteristic feature of this construction is that the clamping and cover beads are laid on the façade in the form of a horizontal line.
Basic requirements:
- U ≤ 1.1 [W/ m2K] for combined glass sets
- Uf ≤ 2.8 [W/ m2K] for aluminum profiles
- Rwmin = 40 [dB]
MB-SR80
The building enclosure of the Warsaw Airport Terminal is made from the MB-SR80 system. The façade structure includes the mullion-transom system. Size of the profiles is determined according to the requirements of building technology, physics and building statistics. As far as construction, the mullion-transom connections and drainage and ventilation are considered, the MB-SR80 system is based on the MB-SR50 curtain system that has been proven in many realizations.
The characteristic feature of this system is, most of all, the profile design. A special shape of cover beads in the form of eaves protruding for 100 mm is supposed to emphasize the horizontal lines on the façade. For transom profiles, of the width equal to 100 mm, the object mullion of the width of 80 mm was designed, which is assumed to give a proper support for glass panels of the inclined wall and to highlight visually the construction solidity. The vertical bead is shaped in such a way that the longitudinal groove was introduced along the profile. This results in visual presence of the hexagonal bolt heads as the intended architectural effect.
The construction inclination angle from the vertical is equal to 8° outside the front façade and 0° on the side façades. The mullions are arranged in constant modules, every 2400 mm. Compensation of the thermal expansion joint involves appropriately designed connection of the transom with the mullion, as well as mullion-mullion telescopic connection.
In the MB-SR80 building system in Warsaw Airport, two types of in-fills are used:
- the insulating sight sets of the thickness equal to 39 mm,
- the aluminum panels (in the upper and lower area).
Basic requirements:
- Uf ≤ 1.1 [W/ m2K] for combined glass sets
- Uf ≤ 2.8 [W/ m2K] for aluminum profiles
- Uf ≤ 0.450 [W/ m2K] for aluminum panels
- Rwmin = 40 [dB]

TERMINAL - the aluminum and glass curtain wall system MB-SR80 used
MB-SR80.
The Terminal façade is made entirely as a sloping and vertical curtain wall:
- glazed with insulation transparent sets with a thickness of 39 mm
- filled with aluminum panels in the upper and lower zone.
**Construction, geometry and appearance Visible external width of mullions: 80mm, transoms: 100 mm. The size of profiles is developed in accordance with the requirements of building technology, physics and structural statics. The structure's angle of inclination from the vertical is 8° outwards on the front façade and 0° on the side façades. The façade structure is a mullion and transom system.
Both mullions and transoms are designed as special, dedicated to the facility. The mullions are arranged in fixed modules every 2400 mm. A suitably designed transom-to-mullion joint and telescopic mullion-to-mullion joint provide compensation for thermal expansion joint.
The characteristic feature of this system is, above all, the design of the profiles. The special shape of the covering strips in the form of eaves protruding by 100 mm is to emphasize the horizontal lines on the façade. For the transom profiles, which are 100 mm wide, an object mullion 80 mm wide was designed to give proper support to the panes of the inclined wall and create the impression of solidity of the structure. The vertical slat is shaped in such a way that a longitudinal groove is introduced along the profile. This makes the heads of hexagon screws visible as an intended architectural effect. With respect to construction, mullion-to-transom joints, and drainage and ventilation, MB-SR80 is technically based on the MB-SR50 curtain wall system that has proven itself in many projects.
Basic requirements:.
- U ≤ 1.1 [W/ m2K] for insulated glass units
- Uf≤ 2.8 [W/ m2K] for aluminum profiles
- Uf 0,450 [W/ m2K] for aluminum panels
- Rwmin = 40 [dB].
