JW Marriott Nashville features Technoform’s thermal barrier on high-performance YKK AP window wall system

The 24th annual Building Envelope Contractors (BEC) Conference will be held on March 1-3 at the JW Marriott Nashville. The elliptically shaped, 33-story, 810,000-square-foot hotel is an iconic addition to the city’s skyline. The building’s bold appearance and high performance was achieved with YKK AP America’s YWW 50T Window Wall MegaTherm® aluminum framing system featuring Technoform’s polyamide thermal barriers. Technoform’s thermal barrier is a key component to YKK AP’s MegaTherm aluminum framing systems. The polyamide profile joins two separate aluminum extrusions into one thermally broken frame. This secures the inner and outer mullion pieces of the window wall together, and cost-effectively allows for different finishes on the window wall’s exterior and interior aluminum framing members.
