Abstract:
1. A curtain-wall system for a building, comprising a plurality of prefabricated cells, wherein each cell includes: a structural frame with at least two uprights and two end cross members, coupled together to form a perimetral structure that delimits a compartment; one or more infill elements associated to the structural frame at a front thereof, for closing the compartment delimited by the perimetral structure; and interface sectional elements for coupling the one or more infill elements to the front of the structural frame, wherein the uprights and the cross members of the structural frame are wooden uprights and cross members, the wooden uprights having at least one first longitudinal groove on a corresponding outer face and the wooden cross members having at least one second longitudinal groove on a corresponding outer face, wherein the structural frame is pre-arranged in such a way that a number of cells are set aligned with one another in at least one direction between a horizontal direction, at respective adjacent wooden uprights, and a vertical direction, at respective adjacent wooden cross members, wherein between the first grooves of adjacent wooden uprights of two cells set aligned with one another in a horizontal direction a first weatherstrip is housed and in the second groove of a wooden cross member of each cell a second weatherstrip is at least partially housed, wherein the wooden uprights have, at a first end, a respective coupling member having an engagement portion that projects axially from the structural frame and has, at a second end, a receiving seat substantially having a shape corresponding to that of the engagement portion of the coupling member, in such a way that the engagement portions of the coupling members at the first end of the wooden uprights of a first cell are received in the receiving seats at the second ends of the wooden uprights of a second cell that is aligned in a vertical direction on top of the first cell.
