Frequently Asked Questions
What are the architectural benefits of using infill panels with a formed exterior face?
MapeShape infill panels feature a formed exterior skin designed to create a completely flush appearance with the wall surface and framing. This design minimizes shadow lines and provides a modern, seamless aesthetic for curtain walls and window systems. Because they can be made to extend beyond the face of the frame, these architectural infill panels offer enhanced design flexibility.
Can MapeShape infill panels be used with both traditional and structural glazing systems?
es. The MapeShape’s formed face and offset edge design make it compatible with both traditional and structural glazing, offering flexibility for various façade systems.
Can formed edge infill panels accommodate different thicknesses or projections?
Yes. MapeShape infill panels are highly versatile and compatible with traditional glazing as well as structural glazing options. The panels feature offset edges specifically engineered for glazing into standard channels. Butt joint panel options are also available to eliminate the need for exterior mullions entirely.
Can these infill panels accommodate thick insulation for thermal retrofits?
Absolutely. MapeShape infill panels are available in thicknesses up to 6 inches, making them an ideal choice for thermal retrofit applications. Despite their depth, the offset edge design allows them to fit into any standard glazing pocket, ensuring they can be integrated into existing framing systems.
What are the standard customization options for MapeShape infill panels?
MapeShape infill panels are highly customizable to meet specific project needs. The technical cross-section includes an exterior formed skin (typically mill aluminum), multiple substrates, an insulative core and an interior skin. While available in a wide variety of finishes, it is important to note that anodized aluminum may be subject to crazing along the formed edges.
