In certain embodiments, a panel installation method includes attaching first and second support anchors to a substrate, with the second support anchor spaced apart from the first support anchor. Each support anchor is elongated and includes a base for attaching to the substrate and respective projections extending outwardly from the bases. A tab extends upwardly from the first support anchor's projection, and a prong extends from the second support anchor's base. The method includes mounting a panel having first and second ends to the substrate via the first and second support anchors, including coupling the first end to the first support anchor, coupling an interlocking bracket to the second end, and coupling the second end to the second support anchor by engaging the interlocking bracket with the prong. The method includes positioning a stabilizing insert in a gap between the interlocking bracket and the projection of the second support anchor.

Abrégé

A curtain wall system and method comprises supporting channels including vertical receiving and retaining members which engage kerfs formed in the lower edges of curtain wall members. Latching members have locating and retaining members which are received in kerfs form in the upper edges of the curtain wall members. The curtain wall members are rotated inwardly causing the latching members to slide along the under surfaces of the supporting channels and into engagement with locking members. A second embodiment comprises supporting channels and latching members having spaced apart vertically disposed locating members which receive the opposite ends of the curtain wall members. A third embodiment comprises gap filling members which are received between adjacent curtain wall members and comprise hooks located adjacent to the lower ends of the gap filling members for engagement with vertically disposed receiving and retaining members extending upwardly from supporting channels. Latching members located at upper ends of the gap filling members slide along the lower surfaces of the supporting channels and into locking engagement therewith.

Abrégé

A curtain wall system and method facilitates the installation of exterior and interior curtain walls. Brackets are mounted at equally spaced vertical intervals receive and secure curtain wall members installed from the top of the wall down. A kerf formed in the lower end of each wall member is received on a receiving and retaining member located at the distal end of the supporting member of each bracket. A kerf formed in the upper end of the wall member receives a locating and retaining member having a latch secured thereto. The wall member and the latch are then rotated towards the bracket until the latch engages with a locking member of the bracket, thereby securing the wall member in place.
