ABSTRACT:
A curtain wall including a plurality of mullions each having a pair of glazing pockets, an I-section for supporting an interior trim member and protrusions for supporting an exterior trim member. The curtain wall further includes a plurality of rails including a notched section for insertion into the mullion glazing pockets, and a plurality of protrusions for supporting interior and exterior trim members. A bead having a plurality of protrusions is connected to the mullion in a lengthwise direction thereof, and supports the interior trim member. A plurality of retainers are insertable into notches in the mullions, the beads or the rails for removably retaining glazing infill components (i.e. panels, windows, doors) in the curtain wall. The curtain wall design of the present invention allows for the glazing infil components to be installed and/or removed from either the front side or the back side of the curtain wall.
