Aluminum Curtain Walls
Slimline Architectural Storefront System
High-performance architectural curtain wall systems designed for Alberta’s demanding climate conditions, modern building envelopes, and complex commercial construction requirements.
KONIFER curtain wall systems are engineered to deliver structural integrity, thermal efficiency, air and water resistance, and refined architectural aesthetics across institutional, commercial, mixed-use, and high-rise applications.
From design-assist through fabrication and installation support, our systems are developed for real Canadian conditions, not theoretical laboratory environments. Because buildings in Alberta tend to experience things like:
• brutal freeze-thaw cycles,
• aggressive wind pressures,
• thermal movement,
• and contractors asking for impossible schedules on Friday afternoons.
Built for Modern Architecture
KONIFER systems are developed for:
•Commercial towers
•Institutional facilities
•Educational buildings
•Healthcare projects
•Multi-residential developments
•Retail podiums
•Industrial office facilities
•Retrofit and façade renewal projects
Engineered for Performance. Built for Canada.
KONIFER Curtain Wall Systems are engineered with consideration for:
Alberta Building Code Requirements
Designed to comply with the Alberta Building Code (ABC) for structural, safety, fire, and energy performance.
National Building Code of Canada
Engineered in accordance with the NBCC to support safe, durable, and code-compliant building envelopes across Canada.
CSA and ASTM Standards
Tested and engineered to meet or exceed applicable CSA and ASTM standards for performance and reliability.
Structural Wind Loading
Designed and tested to withstand high wind pressures and structural loads specific to Canadian climates.
Thermal Movement
Engineered for thermal expansion and contraction to maintain performance and prevent stress on the system.
Water Management
Pressure-equalized rain screen principles with effective drainage paths to manage water infiltration and enhance durability.
Condensation Resistance
Thermally enhanced profiles and insulation strategies help reduce condensation risk and improve occupant comfort.
Long-Term Maintainability
Durable materials, accessible components, and proven system design ensure ease of maintenance and long service life.
KONIFER CW-250 System
Standard Curtain Wall System
KONIFER CW-250 is a versatile thermally enhanced aluminum curtain wall platform engineered for commercial, institutional, mixed-use, and mid-rise building applications across Canada.
Designed around modern façade requirements, the CW-250 system combines structural reliability, refined aesthetics, pressure-equalized rain screen technology, and long-term durability into a high-performance building envelope solution.
Because buildings in Alberta are expected to survive:
• extreme wind,
• freeze-thaw abuse,
• thermal expansion,
• driving rain,
• and value-engineering meetings where someone inevitably asks if “we can make the mullions thinner but stronger and cheaper.”
KONIFER CW-250 HP System
Thermally Improved High Performance Curtain Wall System
KONIFER CW-250HP is a high-performance thermally enhancedcurtain wall platform engineered for demanding commercial,institutional, healthcare, educational, and high-rise buildingenvelope applications across Canada.
Developed for projects where structural capability, thermalefficiency, condensation resistance, and architectural refinementare critical, the CW-250HP system delivers advanced façadeperformance for modern Canadian construction environments.
Because Canadian buildings are expected to behave perfectly whilefacing:
- -35°C winters,
- solar heat gain,
- structural movement,
- wind-driven rain,
- and construction schedules assembled from optimism and panic.
KONIFER CW-250 UHP System
Thermally Improved High Performance Curtain Wall System
KONIFER CW-250UHP is an ultra high-performance curtain wallplatform engineered for landmark architectural projects, high-risetowers, premium institutional developments, and complex buildingenvelope applications requiring exceptional thermal efficiency,structural capability, and long-term durability.
Developed for the next generation of Canadian façades, the CW-250UHP system combines advanced thermal technology,reinforced structural design, pressure-equalized rain screenperformance, and refined architectural sightlines into asophisticated high-performance envelope solution.
Because modern buildings apparently need to be:
- lighter,
- stronger,
- taller,
- more energy efficient,
- more transparent,
- and somehow less expensive at the same time.
Physics continues to object, but engineering negotiates thecompromise.
