A wall structure having a framework, for supporting a plurality of panels in horizontal and vertical alignment, the wall structure being installable in an opening of a building structure to close such opening with the panels being installable in the framework either from the exterior or the interior of the building structure. A wall structure may also be installed on the exterior of a building structure as a curtain wall. Frame members are made up of interior and exterior box-like sections, which are connected together by insulating clips, working in connecting flanges on the sections, thus providing thermal isolation of the parts. The panels are gripped by gasketed flanges on the sections. Specific proportioning of the connecting flanges and gasketed flanges provides a metal free zone facilitating deglazing and providing room for internal water diverters.

A wall structure assembly including: a pair of frame members each having an elongate body, a first pair of longitudinal parallel flanges extending outwardly therefrom on a face of said body centrally of said face and a second pair of longitudinal parallel flanges extending outwardly therefrom on said face at the edges thereof; and a generally T-shaped joint clip for connecting one end of one of said members to the other of said members intermediate its ends to join said members in perpendicular relationship, said joint clip including a head portion connectible to said flange bearing face of said other of said members outwardly of said first pair of parallel flanges thereon and inwardly of one of said second pair of parallel flanges thereon; and a rib portion extending perpendicularly from said head portion and telescopical between the first pair of parallel flanges of said one of said members when said one end is positioned adjacent and perpendicular to said other of said members; and means for securing said rib portion to at least one of said flanges of said one of said members.
