Summary of TingWall™ Advantages

1. Rain Storm

  • Durable water-tightness performance due to elimination of critical seal by design.
  • Durable water-tightness performance due to large tolerances to various structural movements without sealant line stresses.

2. Wind Load

  • Long term safety against fastener failure due to direct force transfer into mullion by panel engagement without reaction force on fastener.
  • Additional safety against structural failure due to automatic recoverable pressure venting mechanism.

3. Thermal Load

  • No system functional degradation due to free thermal movement at vertical and horizontal panel joints in all direction.
  • No thermally induced noise due to the elimination of member interference caused by thermal bow.
  • Cooling effect in summer due to natural air venting of the inter-connected Airloops.
  • Added insulation in winter due to the near still air in the Airloops.

4. Seismic Load

  • Highest tolerance for inter-floor story drift due to the allowance of automatic recoverable panel drifts.

5. Floor Live Load

  • Tolerable for any amount of spandrel beam deflection without causing any functional problem due to the ability to control the panel joint movement to a small amount (e.g. 6 mm) while allowing any large floor deflection (e.g. 30 mm).

6. Maintenance

  • Least window/wall washing requirement due to no exposed caulking design.
  • Elimination of water stain problem due to instantaneous and hidden drainage design.
  • Various design options for easy replacement of facing materials.

7. Exterior Fixtures (Decorative Fins; Sun Screen; Building Sign; Window Washing Stabilizer etc.)

  • Easiest and strong attachment without wall penetration.
  • Zero interference with all other curtain wall functions.

8. Interior Fixtures

  • Vertical Support System (no inwardly protruding horizontal mullion) allows uninterrupted vertical blind or drape over horizontal panel joints.
  • Horizontal Support System (no inwardly protruding vertical mullion) allows uninterrupted horizontal blind or drape over vertical panel joints.

9. Erection

  • True guarantee on completion date due to the ability of simultaneous multiple point erection.
  • Maximum flexibility in erection management due to the ability of skip-and-back-fill.
  • Elimination of building hole problem in a renovation project due to the ability of easily converting any existing mullion into TingWall mullion.
  • Minimum shipping volume due to the separation of the support system from the panel system and the separation of different panel systems.
  • Maximum construction fire safety due to the ability of 3-way adjustments without field welding.
  • Minimum field handling requirement due to the fact that each panel unit involves one piece of facing material only.

10. Quality Control Inspection for Sealing Integrity

  • In the construction industry, the QC inspection for sealing integrity is totally relied on visual inspection. The existence of a seal can be visually inspected. However, the quality of a seal (perfect or not) can not be visually inspected. The Critical Seals in a conventional system require perfect quality and thus, can not be visually inspected. Therefore, the shop and field quality controls for sealing integrity in a conventional system are only a matter of "hope for the best".
  • In TingWall System, the Critical Seal is completely eliminated and the quality control inspection for sealing integrity only requires to make sure the existence of complete air and water sealing lines without the consideration of perfect quality. Apparently, the above requirement can be easily accomplished by field visual inspection. Therefore, the shop and field quality controls for sealing integrity in TingWall System are a matter of "water-tightness assurance".
