Seneca Niagara Casino / Hotel
Completion: Fall 2005


Project Summary:
This unique Curtainwall at the "SENECA NIAGARA CASINO / HOTEL" in Niagara Fall New York is 200,000 SqFt and utilizes a standard, unitized curtainwall system as manufactured by Vistawall and fabricated & assembled by CBO Glass in our factory in Buffalo, NY. It is attached to concrete floor slabs with embedded stud plates and an adjustable anchoring system to accommodate building tolerances of 1" in & out and 1" up & down. The multi-colored features are created by simply changing glass colors.

The 7 5/8" deep curtainwall system features 2 1/2" wide framing members and 3" deep protruding, covers in select locations.

The glass is 1" insulated glass, coated with Viracon's high performance VE-2M Low-E on different colored glass.
The finish on the aluminum framing is a standard 2 coat, non-metallic Kynar paint on exterior exposed surfaces while the interior exposed surfaces are clear anodized. The use of clear anodized on the interior of the curtainwall system, is a neutral color that works with many interior decorating schemes.

The mullion spacing is an efficient 5'-0" on center and there are minimal horizontal in the system. Where the glass changes color on an angle, an angled mullion is provided.

Performance: Wind loads - 40 psf / Air Infiltration: 0.06 CFM at 6.24 PSF static air pressure.
Water Penetration: No water infiltration at 12 PSF static air pressure. / Min CRF 60 (frame) and 56 (glass).
This is a factory glazed, unitized system which is fabricated & pre-glazed to the greatest extent before it is shipped to the jobsite where the completed unitized panels are hoisted into place from the floor above.
