Project: GE Hangar Building Location: Newburgh, NY Architect: HLW International LLP
GE Corporate Hangar Building - Newburgh, NY	The aluminum mullions are specially designed to hold both glass and cellular polycarbonate in the same system.
This project called for covering the hangar doors with a curtainwall system, as well as doing the clerestory windows at the edges of the hangar roof (at both ends). The hangar doors were framed with structural steel (by others). The EXTECH® Series #3000 system was used at the hangar doors because the architect wanted a system that integrated both glass and cellular polycarbonate into the same system. The Series #3000 may be the world's only system which is designed to properly hold both glass and polycarbonate. Cellular Polycarbonate was chosen for this project because of its great resistance to impact. Jet planes tend to pick up small objects from the tarmac and throw them against the building. This project was installed using New York union labor for under $27.00 per square foot.

Opal colored cellular polycarbonate was chosen for this Southern exposure to minimize solar heat gain.
