Shadowbox Assembly Design
Shadowbox Assemblies consist of a opaque aluminum infill sheet behind the vision area and attached curtain wall Framing System. Insulation should be installed between the aluminum infill and the back pan to acts as an air and vapor barrier. This will maintain the dew point outside the cavity.
The design of a Shadow Box Assembly requires care and diligence as an improper design can result in creating moisture inside the cavity. For more information on the Design of Shadow Boxes see BDCuniversity.
