YKK America enerGfaçade MegaTherm XT and YCU 750 TU

1 MIN READ
Part of YKK AP Americas EnerGfa§ade family of products, the MegaTherm XT entrance and the YCU 750 TU unitized curtain wall are designed for commercial use. MegaTherm XT is an aluminium swing entrance that achieves U-value as low as 0.49 when used with standard low-E glazing. It is thermally broken by YKK APs low-conductive polymer strips, which separate exterior and interior metal. The YCU 750 TU is a dry-glazed, unitized curtain-wall system, which features a polyurethane barrier to minimize energy transfer. The system allows for rapid jobsite installation and can be assembled and glazed in the shop to increase quality and avoid weather delays. ykkap.com
