How this node works

The façade hangs from the floor edge on a point bracket with a slotted hole, so it can move with temperature; at each floor a mineral fire barrier closes the gap between slab and façade to stop fire and smoke spreading from storey to storey.

Key points

  • Floor slab
  • Anchor bracket
  • Slotted hole (movement)
  • Fire barrier (at the floor edge)
  • Façade mullion
  • Glazing / panel
