KONIFER CW-250 HP System
Thermally Improved High Performance Curtain Wall System
Developed for projects where structural capability, thermal efficiency, condensation resistance, and architectural refinement are critical, the CW-250HP system delivers advanced façade performance for modern Canadian construction environments.
Because Canadian buildings are expected to behave perfectly while facing:
• -35°C winters,
• Solar heat gain,
• Structural movement,
• Wind-driven rain,
• and construction schedules assembled from optimism and panic.

MATERIALS
Konifer CW250 HP is a high-performance curtain wall system engineered with architectural-grade 6063-T6 aluminum extrusions, advanced thermal barrier technology, and precision gasket sealing to deliver enhanced structural stability, energy efficiency, and weather protection. Designed to support double and triple glazed IGUs, Low-E and solar control glazing, structural reinforcement integration, and deep mullion configurations, the system provides reliable façade performance and architectural flexibility for modern commercial and institutional projects across Canada.
FEATURES
High Thermal Performance: Advanced thermal break technology improves energy efficiency, interior comfort, and condensation resistance across the building envelope.
Pressure Equalized Rain Screen Technology: Engineered drainage chambers and vented glazing pockets enhance moisture management under demanding weather conditions.
Enhanced Structural Capacity: Designed to support higher wind loads and larger glazing spans for high-rise and exposed building applications.
Refined Architectural Sightlines: Clean profile geometry delivers modern aesthetics with increased glass visibility and contemporary façade appearance.
Canadian Climate Engineered: Developed to perform reliably under extreme thermal cycling, snow exposure, freeze-thaw conditions, and high wind pressures.
Flexible Glazing Options: Supports captured glazing, insulated glass units, spandrel integration, and large-format glass applications for design versatility.
PERFORMANCE
Engineered to meet project-specific structural loading requirements based on applicable Canadian codes and building envelope engineering criteria.
Thermal Performance
Enhanced thermal barrier design assists in improving:
• U-value performance
• Thermal continuity
• Interior comfort
• Energy efficiency targets
Air Infiltration Resistance
Precision fabrication and multi-stage gasket systems assist in minimizing uncontrolled air leakage.
Water Penetration Resistance
Pressure-equalized rain screen principles support superior resistance to wind-driven rain and moisture infiltration.
Condensation Resistance
Designed to reduce interior condensation risk through advanced thermal separation and glazing integration strategies.
Long-Term Durability
High-quality aluminum construction and corrosion-resistant components support long-term performance in demanding Canadian climates.
Maintainability
Accessible system design allows for easier long-term serviceability, replacement, and façade maintenance.
