Curtain Wall
Stick-built glazed envelopes, vertical facades and skylights.
Best suited for
- Multi-storey commercial elevations glazed as a continuous envelope across floor lines
- Mixed-use and institutional facades where module width and height drive the grid
- Sloped and skylight glazing carried on the same framing family
- Elevations that need faceted geometry, inward or outward, rather than a single flat plane
- Projects where the architect wants a choice between a capped elevation and a flush toggle appearance
Configurations
- Capped presentation — pressure plate and exterior cover cap on mullions and transoms
- Toggle / semi-structural presentation for a flush glazed exterior appearance
- Vertical facade applications across floor lines
- Skylight and sloped glazing applications within the same family
- Inward and outward facets for faceted or angled elevations
- Large module widths and heights, subject to engineering for the specific grid
System overview
The 30 000 Series is a stick-built curtain wall: mullions and transoms are delivered as components and assembled into a grid on the project, rather than arriving as pre-finished unitised cassettes. That makes it a fit for elevations where the grid varies, where site tolerances are being absorbed, and where the erection sequence is driven by the general contractor rather than by a unit delivery schedule.
Mullion and transom construction is thermally insulated, and the catalog treats the family as intended for vertical facades and for skylight applications, with large module widths and heights and inward or outward facets available within the system geometry.
Presentation is the second decision after the grid. The family is documented with a capped option — a pressure plate and cover cap on the exterior — and a toggle, semi-structural option that reads as a flush glazed plane with a structural silicone joint appearance. Both are the same underlying framing logic; the difference is how the glass is retained and what the elevation looks like from outside.
The catalog discusses air, water, wind, thermal and acoustic performance as system characteristics. Those discussions are configuration-dependent: they are not published here as project values, because the value that matters on a specific facade depends on the module, the glass, the anchorage and the exposure.

Discussed as system characteristics; values are configuration-specific
Final glass make-up, profile selection, anchors, spans, panel and sash sizes, hardware, drainage and any thermal, acoustic or structural value require current Everest submittals plus project-specific architect, engineer and code review. Nothing on this page is a code approval, a performance guarantee or a project-specific recommendation.
Components and details
- Mullion and transom profiles across the documented depth range
- Thermal insulation components within the mullion and transom build-up
- Pressure plates and exterior cover caps for the capped presentation
- Toggle retention components for the semi-structural presentation
- Gaskets and glazing seals appropriate to the selected glazing thickness
- Anchor and bracket components, sized by the project engineer for the actual spans and loads
Glass, infill and hardware considerations
- Glass make-up — insulated, laminated, coated, heat-treated — is a project decision made with the architect and the glass fabricator, not a catalog default.
- The catalog glazing range is a system capability range. It does not mean every thickness in the range is correct for a given module, span or exposure.
- Anchorage, dead-load and wind-load transfer to the structure are engineered for the actual building; catalog geometry does not replace that engineering.
- Drainage and pressure-equalisation detailing must be reviewed against the exposure, the sill conditions and the interfaces with adjacent construction.
- Finish selection — anodised or powder-coated — is confirmed with current Everest finish documentation for the specified profiles.
Specification workflow
- Send elevations, sections and the curtain-wall extent, with floor heights and slab-edge conditions.
- Confirm the presentation intent: capped or toggle, and whether skylight or sloped glazing is in scope.
- Identify the module grid, the largest units and any faceted or angled areas.
- State the intended glass make-up, or the performance targets the design team is working to.
- Request current Everest submittals for the specified configuration, and route them to the project architect and engineer for code review.
- Confirm anchorage, spans, drainage and interface details before anything is specified or ordered.

30 000 Series questions
- Is the 30 000 Series unitised or stick-built?
- The catalog documents it as a stick-built family: mullions and transoms are assembled into the grid on the project rather than delivered as finished unitised cassettes.
- What is the difference between the capped and toggle presentations?
- Capped uses a pressure plate with an exterior cover cap, so the grid reads as expressed framing. The toggle, semi-structural option retains the glass without an exterior cap, so the elevation reads as a flush glazed plane. The underlying framing logic is the same family.
- Can the 30 000 Series be used for skylights?
- The catalog describes the family as intended for vertical facades and skylights. Sloped applications carry their own drainage, load and glass requirements, and those are resolved on submittal with the project engineer.
- Does the CE / EN 13830 reference mean the system is approved in Colorado, New York or California?
- No. EN 13830 is European manufacturer catalog context for curtain walling. US, state and local approval is a separate process handled by the design team and the authority having jurisdiction for the specific project.
- What glazing thickness should we plan for?
- The catalog states a range of 10 to 43 mm and more depending on configuration. That is a system capability range, not a recommendation. The make-up for a project is set by the architect and glass fabricator and confirmed on submittal.
