Large glass assemblies, extremely narrow mullions, and the warmth and beauty of luxury wood species.
The system can reach heights of up to 22 feet and widths that are infinitely wide, limited only by the structurally supported opening in the building. Corners can be configured for segmented curves, to accommodate structural members, or to incorporate butt-installed glass features.
Designed to withstand heavy winds, the Loewen Timber Curtain Wall is a custom-engineered system capable of structurally sustaining itself under load.
Laminated timbers are the default option, allowing for long lengths of high-quality Douglas Fir or other wood species. A skinned timber option is also available, showcasing VG Douglas Fir, Rift Sawn White Oak, or other species-specific features. Loewen’s fit and finish is demonstrated in the timber construction, which minimizes defects, gaps, and other unsightly assembly methods. Timber sizes can be modified to align with inserted products, reinforce the curtain wall in high winds, or meet aesthetic goals, making the system fully customizable.
Exterior beauty caps discreetly redirect water to vertical members and out the bottom of the system. This reduces water streaking on glass and minimizes the need for frequent cleaning.
All components are cut to fit, labeled, and prepped for stress-free installation. Sealed units are included as part of the package, creating a unified product offering and allowing Loewen to provide NFRC thermal ratings.
Most standard Loewen products can be easily integrated into the Timber Curtain Wall system. LiftSlide and Pivot Door products can use the existing timbers as their frame, and the system can also accommodate low-voltage wiring for automation, keyless entry, and switchable glass.
Loewen’s Architectural Service team is available to provide design support for any project. In addition, Loewen’s installation program equips dealers with the training needed to install the Timber Curtain Wall system with confidence.
