The Universe® 4000 is high performance dry-set system that performs similar to a curtainwall system. Each panel is fully compartmentalized and has integral gutters and weeps. The male-female engagement of extrusions provides for thermal expansion and contraction of the panel but does require progressive installation and does not allow individual panel removability without disturbing adjacent panels and without impacting system integrity. Pressure-equalization is achieved through ventiliation slots/holes on the sill return leg.
The standard joint widths are 1/2" and 3/4" Fit and finish is dependent upon the precision of the installer. Typically, the perimeter extrusions are painted black but custom colors are an option. Small quantities of custom colors may be a premium. Fully tested to current code requirements including AAMA 501.1-83, ASTM E283 (@ 6.24 psf), ASTM E330 (@ 15 psf), and ASTM E331 (@ 40 psf) |

The integral gutter system with weeps within the panel system serves as the weather barrier although an air and moisture barrier applied over sheathing can optionally be included to serve as a secondary weather barrier.
