WICTEC EL evo
ALUMINIUM UNITIZED FAÇADES By HYDRO Building Systems 

WICTEC EL evo is an innovative unitised curtain wall system that can be individually adapted to project-specific requirements. Elements are manufactured in controlled workshop environments without being affected by external factors such the weather, re- sulting in consistently high quality. Fast, efficient and projectable assembly on site.
Aluminium composite profiles with excellent thermal insulation, from quality-assured and monitored production. All new drain- age system accommodating slab edge deflections using patented “spring gasket” technology at horizontal joints between elements without compromising the profile design. This allows narrow frame sight lines to be used, even with extreme building movements.

LARGE SIZES
- Module dimensions (w x h): up to 3000 mm x 3500 mm

ADVANTAGES 
- Slim sight lines
- Same profile depth for mullions and transoms Aluminium
- composite profiles with 2 steps of thermal insulation
-External glazing beads with mitred corners for a picture frame appearance
- 20 mm nominal horizontal joints, accommodating
+/- 10 mm slab deflections

TECHNICAL DIVERSITY
- 10 mm and 20 mm nominal vertical joint options
- Broad range of applications, allowing short delivery times and consequently short execution times
- Fast, efficient and projectable installation on site

HIGH PERFORMANCE
Air permeability Class AE
Water tightness: RE 1200
Resistance to wind load:
2000 / –3200 Pa,
​security 3000 / –4800 Pa

Spring gasket
Patented expansion joint gasket allows compensation of building tolerances and slab deflections up to +15 / -12 mm, independent of the profile design
Hollow chamber gasket for stable mounting position “Concertina” construction of the gasket allows the absorption of building deformations up to 27 mm The universal usage of the gasket avoids time and cost consuming production for individual project gaskets Hooking area of the gasket ensures a tight fit and a safe assembly. Hence, process reliability and quality on the construction site are improved


• Complete system compatibility. 
​SOLEAL thermal break windows or doors can all be used with WICTEC EL evo  curtain walling for a solution that is tailored to each project.


• Effective drainage. 
​A secondary mullion drainage system enhances weather performance and quality. The system is zone drained and pressure equalized to ensure optimum performance and effective drainage in the most demanding environments.
