ABSTRACT:
A panel-securing system for securing a panel in a desired position includes a mullion portion having a channel formed therein and a holding element received within the channel of the mullion portion and coupled with a panel fastener attached to the panel to secure the panel to the mullion portion, the holding element including a snap-locking element. The mullion preferably extends in a longitudinal direction toward the panel, and the channel preferably is angled with respect to the longitudinal direction. The holding element preferably is inserted into the channel to urge the panel fastener toward the mullion portion to secure the panel to the mullion portion. Further, a plurality of mullion extensions of different lengths can be used to create a curtainwall of irregular three-dimensional geometry.
