The curtain wall includes mullion profiles, transom profiles and one or more panels, where the mullion profiles extend vertically, where the transom profiles each are attached to two mullion profiles and extend horizontally, where the mullion profiles are provided with a groove on each side for receiving the side edge of a panel. The grooves have an access opening, where the access opening has a first fixed dimension or width in a horizontal direction, where the transom profiles have a second dimension in a horizontal direction and at right angles to the profile direction of the transom profiles, where the second dimension is larger than the first dimension, where the transom profiles have a third dimension in a non-horizontal direction at right angles to the profile direction, where the third dimension is smaller than the first dimension.

A curtain wall comprising mullion profiles, transom profiles and one or more panels, wherein the mullion profiles extend vertically, wherein the transom profiles each are attached to two mullion profiles and extend horizontally, wherein the mullion profiles are provided with a groove on each side for receiving the side edge of a panel, wherein the grooves have an access opening, wherein the access opening has a first fixed dimension or width in a horizontal direction, wherein the transom profiles have a second dimension in a horizontal direction and at right angles to the profile direction of the transom profiles, wherein the second dimension is larger than the first dimension, wherein the transom profiles have a third dimension in a non-horizontal direction at right angles to the profile direction, wherein the third dimension is smaller than the first dimension, wherein the transom profiles are provided with an undercut groove extending in the profile direction and a rod inserted in the undercut groove, wherein the mullion profiles are provided with a second groove for receiving an end of said rod projecting beyond the undercut groove, thereby blocking a rotational movement of the transom profiles.
A set for building a curtain wall, the set comprising two or more mullion profiles and two or more transom profiles, wherein the mullion profiles have an outer side, an inner side and two sides, wherein the mullion profiles are provided on each side with a groove for receiving the side edge of a panel, wherein the grooves have an access opening, wherein the access opening has a horizontal first dimension, wherein the transom profiles have a horizontal second dimension perpendicular to the profile direction of the transom profiles, wherein the second dimension is larger than the first dimension, wherein the transom profiles have a third maximum dimension in a non-horizontal direction at right angles to the profile direction, wherein the third dimension is smaller than the first dimension, wherein the transom profiles are provided with an undercut groove with a rod inserted in the undercut groove and wherein the mullion sections are provided with a second groove for receiving an end of the above-mentioned rod projecting out from the groove, thereby blocking a rotational movement of the transom profiles.
