Our Custom Curtainwall
The Convention Series
Our Convention Series framing system is an exterior glazed pressure plate system suitable for all curtainwall applications. The system has the capacity to match custom profiles and individual performance requirements with structural, thermal and aesthetic considerations.

Hilboldt Curtainwall’s Convention Series offers the option of 2", 2.5" or 3" face dimensions with custom depths. This system is versatile, in that using fixed or split verticals with fixed or expansion horizontal rails at various modules can enlarge each panel’s capacity. The panel sizes have ranged in width from 5’-0” to 50’-0” and in length from 10’-0” to 65’-0”. High span applications are made possible by reinforcing structural mullions with steel infill.

Hilboldt Curtainwall also has the option of a structural glazing system (the Convention Series SG System), and a combination of the two allows for butt glazing options together with a conventional captured installation.

The Convention Series is available in a variety of finishes including Class I or II anodic colors as well as a factory applied, oven baked paint coating.

Convention Series Specifications
Materials: Aluminum framing members shall be of 6063-T6 or 6061-T6 alloy. EPDM gaskets are used for glazing perimeters. All mullions and horizontals for glazing of 1/4" or greater shall be thermally isolated from the pressure plate by a rigid vinyl separator.

Finish: All exposed surfaces shall receive a painted finish applied by a licensed applicator. Hilboldt Curtainwall will furnish color samples upon request.

Performance: A certified test report by an AAMA accredited testing agency states that the Convention Series meets the following specified criteria:

1. Air Infiltration: Air infiltration shall not exceed .06 CFM per square foot or 26 CFM gross leakage. (ASTM-E283)
2. Water infiltration: No visible water on any inside surface at a test pressure of 12 PSF when tested in accordance with ASTM-E331.
3. Structural Load: The deflection of any member shall not exceed L/175. The glass infill panel shall not deflect greater than 1" at 50% design load. (ASTM-E330) All units are securely anchored with all joints fully caulked to insure a watertight system.
