Abstract
A curtain wall construction system comprises a plurality of interconnected curtain wall supporting beams; one or more elongated and compressible sealing elements attached to at least one of the curtain wall supporting beams, wherein the curtain wall construction system is configured with a dedicated interspace within which a corresponding set of one or more rigid and impermeable panels is introducible. The curtain wall construction system further comprising a linearly displaceable clamping element that is clampable against the introduced set of panels to form a clamping arrangement which provides sealing protection in conjunction with the one or more sealing elements.

A curtain wall construction system, comprising:
- a) a plurality of interconnected curtain wall supporting beams;
- b) one or more elongated and compressible sealing elements attached to at least one of the curtain wall supporting beams,
- wherein said curtain wall construction system is configured with a dedicated interspace within which a corresponding set of one or more rigid and impermeable panels is introducible, said curtain wall construction system further comprising:
- c) a linearly displaceable clamping element that is clampable against the introduced set of panels to form a clamping arrangement which provides sealing protection in conjunction with the one or more sealing elements.
A method for constructing a curtain wall, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a clamping member with a protruding plate and a stationary spaced-web support member;
- b) attaching at least one elongated and compressible sealing element to said spaced-web support member;
- c) inserting the protruding plate of the clamping member into an inter-web cavity of the spaced-web support member to define an interspace delimited in one direction by said at least one sealing element;
- d) introducing a corresponding set of one or more rigid and impermeable panels with said interspace;
- and
- e) linearly displacing the protruding plate until the one or more introduced panels are sealingly clamped to provide sealing protection in conjunction with the one or more sealing elements.
