950SG x3
1) Product Overview
Tubelite’s 950SG Series offers solutions for between slab window wall applications. The 4-sided SSG system has a 6" or 7-3/4" depth and is installed entirely from the building interior. A vertical silicone diverter replaces the need for an exterior applied seal.

Optional integrated slab edge covers can be extruded aluminum or brake metal to finish off the building’s exterior. Head, sill and jamb starters enable complete installation from the inside of the building. The 3” sightline head starter also provides +/- ¾” vertical interstory movement.

Labor Savings with Thermal Performance
The dual strut ultra-thermal barrier provides industry leading performance where more stringent energy codes apply. A single piece anti-buckling clip simplifies installation with fewer parts and steps. The 950SG Series Thermal Window Wall is available with Tubelite’s high recycled aluminum content, EcoLuminum and environmentally friendly paint and anodized finishes from Linetec.
2) Recent Update
The 7-3/4” overall depth offering of the 950SG provides for significant increases in both structural and thermal performance over the 6” system, while also offering a deeper system required by some projects due aesthetics or wall construction thickness.
3) Award Winning
Our 950SG Series Therml=Block Window Wall system won the 2023 Glass Magazine Award for Best Framing System or Component presented at GlassBuild America on November 1.

A Terrific Open House in Dallas
Tubelite held an open house at our Dallas facility in late September.

It was both enlightening and empowering for our leadership to meet some of our key clients and to gain insight and honest feedback on their experiences with Tubelite.

It was a pleasure to show off our Dallas facility and the passion and dedication of our team.
Where Form Meets Function
Project from the archives
Net-zero-ready Colorado office showcases modern design and high performance with Tubelite’s thermal curtainwall and window wall
Vaisala, a Finnish company and global leader in weather, environmental and industrial measurements, recently opened its new North American headquarters in Louisville, Colorado. Designed by OZ Architecture of Denver, the office building blends Scandinavian style and sustainable, net-zero-ready functionality.

Tubelite’s curtainwall and window wall systems contribute to the building’s crisp, modern, minimalist, high-performance design. Thermally broken aluminum framing, low-e insulated glass and Tubelite’s PTB120 Thermal Pressure Plate supplied by Deceuninck further support the building envelope’s sustainability and energy-efficiency goals.
