Fastener load due to negative wind pressure

Unlike conventional unitized or stick framed curtainwalls, the fasteners for TingWall™ are not subjected to tension from negative wind load. The pressure is transferred directly to the vertical structural mullion through the engagement with the panel frame. Panel fasteners in shear are being used to support the individual panel dead weight only.
