The invention of TingWall® by Dr. Raymond Ting signals a new age in curtain wall design.
TingWall® is cost competitive with "stick" curtain wall systems and outperforms the most sophisticated unitized and rain screen systems.
Utilizing an innovative "airloop principle", TingWall® neutralizes the effects of both wind and rain, by separating the functions of sealing air and sealing water.
A two story high, full scale TingWall™ mock-up was tested on October 22 and October 23 of 2002 at the Chinese government laboratory in Guangzhou in accordance with the requirements of Chinese Curtain Wall Standard GB/T 15227-94.
The maximum load of +4,500 Pa (94.3 psf) and -6,400 Pa (-134.2 psf) were applied to the mock-up and the curtain wall system is allowed to fail with the only requirement of no broken components falling off the mock-up.
To re-test a mock-up after sustaining the theoretical ultimate load tests (Story Drift at L/100 and Wind Overload at -6,400 Pa) is extremely unusual - indeed this may be the first in the history of curtain wall performance testing.
