Back Pans
Yarl Metal Products
07 00 00 Thermal and Moisture Protection
These are generally used in curtain wall systems, either behind a metal panel or on the back of spandrel glass. They provide excellent insulation, fire safety, and sound absorption capabilities.
Yarl Metal produces backpans of various shapes and sizes, the most common are rectangular bases with straight clips. Special adapters are formed at the end of the clip to suit the installation.
The sectional depths of the curtain wall and window influence the pan depth. The profile of the back pan also depends on how the glass is installed. Further, the pan depth may have an impact on the thickness and R-factor of the insulation.
In most cases, the width and height of the pan are 6.4 mm (¼ in.) less day light opening (DLO).Additional Information
