Spectre Window 130 Series Exposed Frame Aluminum Curtain Wall System
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
The system builds on 5.12 in (130 mm) face members carrying insulated glazing in a 25 mm glazing pocket, clamped by pressure plates and dressed with snap on cover caps that form the visible exterior grid. The factory shows the series with integrated projected vent windows within the facade for natural ventilation. Grid module, bay sizes, spans, anchoring, and vent placement are engineered per elevation, and glass makeup is specified per project. Caps and interior members are finished in one of eight standard colors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does exposed frame mean?
The glass is clamped by pressure plates dressed with snap on cover caps, so a visible aluminum grid frames every lite, the detail the industry calls a captured or capped curtain wall. It is the most robust and serviceable retention and the standard for stick built facades.
What sizes and modules are available?
Grid module, bay sizes, and overall elevation are engineered per project. The factory does not publish fixed module limits for this series, so the layout is settled with the project engineering package during quote review.
What glass does it take?
Renders show insulated glazing seated in the 25 mm glazing pocket. The exact glass makeup, including coatings, tints, laminated or spandrel panels, is specified per project during quote review.
Which finishes are available?
Eight standard finishes: Matte Black, Slate Grey, Silver Grey, White, Champagne, Cherry Woodgrain, Golden Oak Woodgrain, and Walnut Woodgrain, applied over the extruded aluminum members.
