Movement and Tolerances

A detailed multi-part case study exploring movement and tolerances in diverse facade types. It covers unitised curtain walling systems with and without spigots, stick curtain walling, and lightweight steel frame backing wall systems commonly used in rainscreens, brick masonry, and render build-ups. The case study is regularly updated based on member requests and feedback to ensure relevance and practical value.

Movement and Tolerances in Unitised Systems with Spigots

This case study explores the accommodation of movement and tolerances in unitised curtain walling facades with spigots. The course pays particular attention to the movement of curtain walling units and their fixing to the slab. The movement and tolerances of the façade were achieved with all standard systems (profiles, fixings, subframes, etc). The unitised curtain walling creates a robust envelope of the building. The case study includes video tutorials, drawings and 3D models to achieve the best learning outcomes.

Movement and Tolerances in Unitised Systems without Spigots

This case study explores the accommodation of movement and tolerances in unitised curtain walling facades without spigots. The course pays particular attention to the movement of curtain walling units and their fixing to the front of the slab. The movement and tolerances of the façade were achieved with all standard systems (profiles, fixings, subframes, etc). The unitised curtain walling creates a robust envelope of the building. The case study includes video tutorials, drawings and 3D models to achieve the best learning outcomes.

The case study includes video tutorials, drawings and 3D models to achieve the best learning outcomes.

Movement and Tolerances in Lightweight Steel FramingThe course looks at accommodating movement and tolerances in the lightweight steel framing. The course pays particular attention to the movement of vertical studs and horizontal tracks. The movemen…

Movement and Tolerances in Lightweight Steel Framing

This case study explores the accommodation of movement and tolerances in the lightweight steel framing. The course pays particular attention to the movement of vertical studs and horizontal tracks. The movement and tolerances of the façade were achieved with all standard systems (profiles, fixings, subframes, etc). The steel arrangement forms a robust framing for the rest of the envelope. The case study includes video tutorials, drawings and 3D models to achieve the best learning outcomes.
