ABSTRACT:
A curtain wall structure has a series of panels mounted in a framework with loop-form sealing gaskets around the peripheries of the panels. The gaskets are clamped into sealing contact with the panels by frame members that overlap the edges of the panels. The gasket section includes forward and rear portions between which the edges of panel is sandwiched. These portions are connected by a thin web that forms an enclosed space around the periphery of the panel. An external connection leads to that enclosed space for pressure testing the gasket seal. Upper and lower connections can be provided to said space to facilitate venting--in particular of the gap between the layers of a double-glazed panel. The gasket section may include an intermediate portion serving as a spacer between the layers of a double-glazed panel.
