Curtain Walls allow to safeguard buildings from the elements of weather. Keep your occupants in and the weather out. These are used in spaces where the outer walls are non-structural. When a glass is used for Curtain walls, it allows for better light and energy savings. We execute a range of Curtain walls including
A stick built curtain wall refers to the method of construction by which the curtain wall is assembled on site, piece by piece. The manufacturer delivers each individual component; glass, mullion, spandrel; and glaziers assemble the curtain wall directly on the structure.
The stick built system requires installation by highly skilled laborers on site, increasing the installation cost and causing some quality control issues. However, the on site installation allows for easier detailing of connections and larger tolerances in the building structure.
Unitized curtainwalls are factory-assembled and -glazed, then shipped to the job site in units that are typically one lite wide by one floor tall. Only one unit-to-unit splice (usually a silicone sheet or patch) needs to be field-sealed, and only one anchor per mullion needs to be attached to the face or top of the floor slab.
Interlocking unitized curtainwall frame members are weatheripped to seal to one another, both horizontally and vertically. This accommodates thermal expansion and contraction, inter-story differential movement, concrete creep, column foreshortening, and/or seismic movement. Most unitized curtainwall systems are installed in a sequential manner around each floor level, moving from the bottom to the top of the building.
Semi-unitized Curtain Wall has the combined features of stick curtain wall and unitized curtain wall. Its basic structural principle is to fabricate other curtain wall components with the exception of main keels, to assemble them into unitized panel and then deliver to site to be fixed on main keel.
