Reliance-TC

Reliance-TC


Reliance™-TC is a thermally broken, zone glazed, pressure-equalized curtain wall system engineered with polyamide insulating strips to deliver reliable energy performance. Thermal efficiency can be tailored with the choice of a 1" IGU for advanced performance or a 1" thin triple IGU for next-generation performance.

  • • Thermally broken, outside glazed
  • • Pressure-equalized and zone glazed
  • • 2-1/2" Sightline
  • • 6" to 7-1/2" System depths
  • • Infill: 1"
  • • Accepts 1" insulating glass or 1" thin triple insulating glass unit

Reviving Iconic Design

OBE helped rejuvenate Harvard’s Gund Hall with upgraded thermal performance, leak‑free protection, and efficient installation–all through a unified design‑assist team that brought daylight back and restored the building’s long‑term functionality.

The Reliance™-TC curtain walls utilize multiple assembly and glazing options to meet a wider range of performance requirements. Reliance™-TC Type I Curtain Wall utilizes a composite vertical and standard Reliance™ horizontals. Reliance™-TC Type II features thermal composite members for all verticals and horizontals with pressure plate assembly. An FRP pressure plate may be added to horizontals and/or verticals to minimize U-factor and maximize Condensation Resistance Factor (CRF). Thermal performance can also be tailored, with the option to achieve advanced performance using a 1" IGU or next-generation performance with a 1" thin triple IGU. The product is available in 7-1/4" and 6" depths with an aluminum pressure plate or 7-1/2" or 6-1/4" using the FRP pressure plate. Two-color capability is still available with all vertical and horizontal sections. As with Reliance™ Curtain Wall, Reliance™-TC offers optional depths and profiles, with the ability to adapt entrance doors and operable windows.
