Sunrooms & curtain wall — aluminium systems

Structural aluminium framing — glazed rooms and full-height facades, engineered per project rather than sized from a catalogue.

A sunroom is not a big window; it is a small building. Columns carry roof load, the roof drains through the frame itself, and every joint is a weather detail. That is why these systems are specified by member size and alloy rather than section width.

The German and European style rooms share a 120 × 120 mm column grammar in 3.0 mm titanium-magnesium alloy, in four base forms. The curtain wall system runs an 86 mm sash on a 120 mm reinforced mullion for high-rise and commercial facades.

Inside the frame

The same system, cut open. This is what sits behind the plaster once the trim goes on — and it is where a window succeeds or fails.

The sealing lineA single continuous EPDM strip runs the whole way round. A seal only works where it stays compressed along its entire length — joins are where they fail.

A narrow-frame section cut through the sash and outer frame — **The narrow sightline**How little frame you can see is a function of how much structure sits behind it. This is the section that lets the sightline run slim without losing rigidity.

A window frame cut open in driving rain, showing the concealed drainage chamber in the sill — **The hidden drainage path**Rain driven at the frame collects inside the sill chamber and leaves through a concealed slot, instead of running down the face of the window.

Manufacturer-stated for the 120 sunroom system, tested to Chinese GB standards. These are the supplier’s figures, not Nautilus test data.

What a specific opening achieves depends on its size, exposure and installation. That is why we assess the opening before we specify the system.
